Gold "freckles" on leaves, growth stunted. Help pretty preeease

Sup y'all,

So I've got a plant going outside that was growing beautifully for about a month and a half. Unfortunately, now my baby's not doing so well. She's (I hope its a she:-?) a random kush bag seed but still its from some bomb genetics so I'd like to grow 'er out.

It was vegging nicely, grew to about 2 feet, then some gold spots started showing up at the ends of the newer fan leaves. I tried to diagnosis it myself but my gold spots seem rather unique to the others I was finding. The spots don't extend to the tips of the leaves but it seems to my that the new growth is being affected. My plant basically quartered its growing speed after I noticed the spots. New shoots are somewhat deformed and some have the same spots. The node sites have really slowed growth particularly.

I was wondering if it could be a pH problem since i think I gave it a bit too much bone meal. I hadn't fert'd it at all before but i figured i'd give it only one small Nitrogen rich boost during vegging, then a one small P.K. boost a month and a bit from now, but plan that may have backfired. Nitrogen toxicity?? pH issue?? Im also concerned it may be bug damage but I don't know. Tobacco mosaic maybe?? there was some smoke exposure. Any help figuring this thing out would be appreciated.

Otherwise she still looks beautiful, just she hasn't sprouted more than a few cm's in a week or 2.
 
At that age, you can start feeding on a schedule as long as your PH is OK..
Something like water, water, feed, then repeat.
Or like I do, if your plants will tolerate and like it, feed, water, feed, water and repeat.
 
true say. I just did a simple soil test....... low N, high P, low K, pH is on the alkaline side of neutral. The spots I think are from a manganese deficiency as well from the eff'd up soil, but still that's just a guess. The some newer leaves are cracking in-between veins which is a symptom of that too... sucks to see

Gotta give'r some care now.

I'm thinking of transplanting into better soil either another pot or in-ground: digging a fat whole with extra organic garden soil, mixing in bone meal to boost N levels and some organic tomatoe food (higher in K)....

...or what can i do to fix the issue without keeping it where it is?

any recommendations?
