See the pic. A found a few little whitish tiny specks that I can't tell if they are some kind of bug or dried up leaf pieces. I noticed the other day that one leaf looked like something ate a piece out of it. Then a little more the next day, and now a second leaf today. The leaf is not discolored or dry, just has some pieces cut out of it! The only nutes in the soil are from the slow release crap that came with my soil (i know...that stuff sucks). They are not being overwatered nor burned from my lighting. I do notice a distinct smell coming from this one that is not present on my other plants, kinda like a skunky weed coffee smell. Also, some of the leaves near the bottom have brown dry spots and are curling up but the rest of the plant looks better than my other 3, which have been in the same place and had the same soil and water as this one. They all are on day 3 of flowering.

The best time to catch critters in the act is after lights out.

Looks like a catapiller has been at work.They hide under the leaves and come out at night.Sometimes if you run your hands thru the leaves they will fall off.If it turns out to be catapillers they will continue to grow and one day they will not be able to escape your notice.I think that your bottom leaves are O K.Most plants have some sort of yellowing on their bottom leaves.If they get worse then you are having some sort of deficency.

Thanks guys, I will try to catch em red handed but my babies are in flowering mode now and I can't interrupt the night cycle. Can I use just any old green light bulb to enter during the night cycle? Oh! Two plants just showed their femininity and I found that each one had their leaves nibbled on but not the others. Do those little leaf eaters prefer women? Damn them to helll!!!!

Check them out about 10 minutes before lights-on, you can safely turn on some light or use a flashlight and scope them out really well

I had some problems with caterpillar type guys too, although they havent been eatin' the leaves like that...

I agree, looks like catapillars.
Originally I thought spiders until I read what Johnny O said .

If everything else is healthy thats a pretty good call.

Good Luck..........hope you get em.
