ive got one or two holes showing up randomly among my plants.

ive been using neem oil sprayed on every 4 to 5 days but no other pest/ailment control.

anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing this?

i have noticed the odd syphilid thing crawling around on my leaves but since using the neem oil they have been few and far between.

so , is this a nasty pest or sickness?

take a look through these

yup have been , everything from caterpillars to water splashes.

i am now thinking , hoping its just the neem oil , usually after i spray it on (lights off , wait to see dry leaves before switching on again) the leaves are coated in oil.
jiffa
how often you spaying with the neem oil?
bobbert
usually every 4 to 5 days.
jiffa
how long you leaving the lights out for, defo no wet anywhere ?
bobbert
usually until they dry out but its hard to tell because the oil stays wet for days.

ive just had a closer look and ive seen some slits in the leaves from the centre to the edge , looks like something has been munching.
its only on new growth though , so its on growth that hasn't been treated with neem oil.
its not as major infestation so im going to keep spraying and eye on it for a few days , hopefully it will pass and if any more munching occurs within the next week or so i should still be able to catch it early enough.
fingers crossed.

get some sticky fly traps up see if you catch anything
