Hey @skopes120 ,
Wow, now that is an egg mass!
All your leaf damage is a result of insect feeding as far as I can tell.
I expanded the picture and still couldn’t get it perfectly clear, but it appears to be some species of aphid.
They are fairly easy to control…you have two paths to consider…if they’re in veg you can use any of the widely available pyrethrins obtainable at any garden or hardware store…just look at Active ingredient: pyrethrin. They are low toxicity to humans/pets/all warm blooded animals. They break down rapidly (2-3 days under sunlight max)
If you want to stay all organic you can purchase Pure Crop One for $70/ gal or make this one…
