First outside grow and would really appreciate any advice. Plants are seemingly healthy and well into veg state. Being my first time I tried super cropping a few times and split several stems in the learning process which have since healed... some with large dried opennings still. I have also been dealing with a small glassy winged sharpshooter infestation brought on from nearby grapevines.
The reason I state all this is because I understand these could all be issues that introduce different types of diseases.
So far when I see the black on the leaves I was trimming them off but as this left a whole cola bare i feel this is eventually going to do more harm than good.
Black dots can be seen in the three leaces snipped from two plants. It is not very bad but thats largely due to me checking on these plants every day and snipping those off as soon as i saw them.
Again any advice would be appreciated.
As far as nutrients go I have only put in a few months worth of blood meal in and worm castings. Trying to keep this as organic as possible.
