I'll agree with the plant bug problem. Nature abhors a vacuum, something will always be there to make cotton growing interesting.

Don't take this wrong and think I'm looking for excuses for BWEP and your damaged cotton, but I have a question. I saw in your post below that you said you tank mixed Touchdown and Envoke. When Envoke first came on the market, we were told not to tank mix with glyphosate because of potential crop damage. I realize Touchdown and glyphosate are not the same, but they are similar. Do they have a label for that tank mix now? Or were we told that, before Flex cotton, because of the timing of the application? Envoke is supposed to go out after 5th leaf, and glyphosate on non-flex cotton before 5th leaf, so the timing may very well have been the reason. I may have rambled on untill I answered my own question.
