plant is growing strong and looking good, except there seems to be some pest damage now. theyre little circular holes in the plant. they dont go all the way through the leaf, just the green part so the hole is transclucent. one leaf got it pretty bad and is now drying out and dying. any idea on whats doing it? cant find any pests actually on the plant.

also...its a girl! preflowers everywhere, stoked

I can see pest damage on the plant nearby on the pictures, make sure to treat the surrounding plants as well. Looked almost like grasshopper damage to me, a little late for introducing a preying mantis, but that would be the best solution. I have heard about using sprays as well such as hot peppers and such, here's a recipe a friend said he has used, taken from golden harvest organics web page.
Garlic Oil Spray
To make: Combine 3 ounces of minced garlic cloves with 1 ounce of mineral oil. Let soak for 24 hours or longer. Strain.
Next mix 1 teaspoon of fish emulsion with 16 ounces of water. Add 1 tablespoon of castile soap to this.
Now slowly combine the fish emulsion water with the garlic oil. Kept in a sealed glass container this mixture will stay viable for several months. To use: Mix 2 tablespoons of garlic oil with 1 pint of water and spray.

I would personally not spray it on my plant, but possibly around it on other plants. I also read about traps, check out golden harvest they have a great readGrasshopper Control

thanks man, i will try that recipe. i pulled the plant out of that area for a couple days, and to transplant into a bigger pot. im gonna treat that whole area for a few days with that spray before moving her back there. thanks for the help! fed the first dose of nutes the other day and she loved it, secondary shoots are all taking off and getting very bushy. will have a pic update in the next couple days

I forgot to ask, I assume you have it near those plants for camouflage right? If not, get rid of the stuff near it.

yea those plants are for cover. i did a garlic/hot pepper spray and soaked the whole area, there is still a little pest damage here and there but definitly alot less than before. shes about 3.5 feet tall now, bushy as hell and has preflowers all over. have only gave nutes once so far, shes still in a 3gal bucket so i plan on transplanting to a 5g soon with some fresh soil
