Blackstrap on 6th week. I saw a stink bug around this plant earlier and grabbed my soapy water spray (closest thing I could grab) and sprayed it. Idk where it went. Then I saw this black spot on a leaf. Could the stink bug have caused this? It’s the only leaf with this on it. I’ve looked all over.

Guys, I have no idea! When I googled “bugs that leave behind black spots” it brought up the dull looking spots on leaves. This is shiny, like excrement? The only bug I’ve seen is a stink bug tho. Now I’m in there checking every 5 minutes bc idk where it went lol must have came in when we opened a door

It almost looks like a resin of some sort.

Were you hitting on oil in the tent? Kidding but needed to ask. If it’s under a fan or something electrical it could be from that above. Maybe light got hot and touched something and melted.
Just doesn’t look bug related.

In all honesty, I was smoking some dabs around my plants before and the nectar collector dripped some onto a leaf before. 
That was a sign for me to clean it out.

Well that’s gross. It’s only on one leaf and it looks like a bug shat on it. Then walked off still dropping crap on my poor baby

I didn’t have anything around it. Anything! And it’s a brand new tent. I haven’t even finished setting everything up. Too busy hunting a bug w diarrhea. The spot is about the size of a brown advil tablet.

Have you watered with molasses or fish emulsion? Could you have spilled a drip?
It looks like a brown or black organic liquid fertilizer got spilled or something

Stink bugs get their name from the unpleasant odor they produce from their ass when they are threatened you must of really came at that poor guy …Scientists think this odor helps protect the bugs against predators. You trying to kill it …The stink bugs produce the smelly chemical in a gland on their abdomen. Some species can actually spray the chemical several inches. Hence what is on your plant and it has seemed to fly off looking from the puddle followed by the small droplets

If your finding bugs on your leaves, (don’t you think) you should start buying some Neem Oil Spray for Plants Pest Organic Disease Control
Looks like Molasses
