Plant is in promix, just about to enter flower, outdoor. Ph going in is around 6.3-6.5, haven’t measured runoff yet. Been slowly introducing nutrients as the promix should be getting depleted after the two months in pot. Noticing these sandy/rust colored spots. Any help diagnosing fast would be helpful as it’s heading into flower mode.
check under leaves for spider mites , look for webs also , they are hard to see so you will need a usb microscope , also looks like a tad over watered

I agree look for bugs, I use safers soap on mites, do you wait till the soil drys nice before watering or water once a day no matter what?

Usually water twice a week depending on weather. But I wait until it’s dried out between waterings. Today the soil is quite dry and it appears to be drooping so I was going to water. I will check for mites underneath and report back. But hadnt seen anything with initial check.
I am pretty sure that is bug damage.
Get out the hand pump sprayer and strong spray both sides of leaves with just water or soapy water.

Watering to me sounds good but yes spray top and bottoms of leaf with soap all soft shell bugs will dry and die. once the soap starts to dry it is no longer going to kill anything else so feel free to wash all dry soap residue and dead bugs off the plant with water

i will get out the sprayer and commence spraying at dusk. I remember being told to mix some mineral oil with soap and water a ways back if it’s ever an issue so I’ll try that tonight. I found one very very faint tiny little cocoon like silky structure but other than that I could not find anything else.

Definitely found more evidence of spider mites. By no means an infestation but evidence nonetheless. Will spray hard for the next few days. Thanks for tips people.
