I have notcied holes forming in sme of my leaves and I'm not sure what is causing it. They kinda look like something has nibbled on them, but I have been spraying "SEAWEED FERT( ()- 0- 1 @) 1/8 cup per gallon mixed with 2 tablespoons molasses everyday and theses holes seem to have started sense I started the applications last week? I have to say the plant seems fine and is growing rapidly and I keep the vine now @ 6' covered with cow manure,

1/8 of a cup per gallon seems a little high to me. I use fish and seaweed emulsion and use about the same (1/8 cup) per 4 gallons or so for foliar feeding. Jimmy

molasses sprays on the leaves draws afids to the plant
and they can cause small holes

look under the plant , if you see a bunch of little bb like clusters under the leaves thats more likely than not what it is

we do not use mollasses sprays for this very reason

we put some in the soil early on using a feed grade only

hope this helps
