Okay, so this plant has encountered the usual yellowing of the bottom leaves, but in my attempts to counteract this, I think I did something that caused the leaves to develop brown spots that shrunk and turned into white spots.
I don't think this is a Calcium lockout, as I've been using 100% organic soil (compost from home) which I added some crushed eggshells to (along with other things, when I was trying to stop the yellowing).
I added some fresh-cut greens a couple of days ago (to add more Nitrogen) and two days later the spots developed.
I don't think the spots are due to excessive heat, too much/little water, or too many nutrients; I think I just accidentally provided some bugs with the ideal home...
I haven't seen them, but I read that spider mites form small webs around the roots which cut down on circulation and cause spotting on the leaves, so I think they might have something to do with it.
If anybody has experienced anything like this, how do I fix or get rid of whatever caused this problem?
