You didn't close up anything but line's in leaf could be Thirps or mealy bugs. Holes are something else. Outside?

Looks like you converted your bathroom garbage can into a grow bucket. Looks exetremely over watered. Depending where u are in the world if it's just now starting to flower outdoors it might be a lost cause. And u definitely have a bug problem.
Actually, it's a store bought garbage can lol
About a 1.5 or so gallon, but it's a "BUD"weiser garbage can shouldn't that help :)
Had just watered it that day and am backing off the watering. On the 40 Lat
And got a late start, outdoors during the day, blackout room in the garage at night just a week into flower. Think I'll make it to Nov8? That's my worst one.
And I check them every morning and evening never spotted a bug..... but please a suggestion to remove/ prevent them safely? I didn't think anything was a lost cause on here!!! Ha ha

Sorry, not great at posting pics here,
I thought the viewer had the ability to move and zoom. Yes, the grow is in pots that are outside during the day inside blacked out at night. Any further input regarding bug prevention/ elimination, or ANYTHING is greatly appreciated.

snip those unhealthy old leaves and keep an eye out for issues after that.
over watered
Thanks for your reply, obviously a silly newbie here, but do I cut the leaves, cut at the stem, where should I cut? I only ask because so many talk about shock or trauma to the plant and obviously she has enough trouble.
I had watered that day but have learned and do agree (been over watering)so that will be their last water for a few days.
Any further advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

cut the stem at its base without cutting stalk, no worries of stress. 100 f, 80rh stagnant air....those stress a plant.

fill a container with your dirt mix dry. now feel the weight, tip it, weigh it if you have to.
divide the container size by four and add that much water to your plant all at once.
doesnt matter if there is run off or not. repeat only when the pot feels light, or the plant is wilting when soil is dry.
all the way to finish this is perfect watering assuming you have good soil/drainage.

just cut the damaged leaves off, the old funny looking ones. they do that sometimes, and still keep an eye on it to
be sure there's no more issue.

do you got drainage holes in the bottom of those buckets?
Yes Dr. Sir..... they are store bought so I basically split the bottoms...... not enough drainage?

Thanks for the reply
From reading I found that my soil is 1/3 wrong and I have no more of the "mix" to test. I split the plastic containers on the bottom, so hoping enough drainage. I know I've done everything just this side of absolute wrong.... but I'm tryin'
Great...I have to do Math :) ( your water ratio conversion Lol)
Again, newbie with a capital N
Can you please explain your "100f 80rh"
Don't know much lingo
And approx a 4 ft X6ft tall black out room with a small 6 inch fan running when enclosed at night that okay? They are outside during the day.
Thanks again !

plants suffer when temperatures are 120 degrees Fahrenheit or 80% relative humidity for instance, but not when you trim off some leaves<point

night time indoor space should be under 50% humidity, not over 80 degrees, and not under 70 for good results.

Feel even more dumb with the Fahrenheit / humidity miss :)
Temps should be alright I hope until mid -end October but will have to supplement with kerosene heater for a couple weeks
when it cools off ( is that okay? ) and working on getting a baby dehumidifier for the dark room. It goes in an old, detached, cinder block one car garage that I blocked a corner off in plastic sheeting,so hard to totally control environment. (I know, I'm crazy)
It was a WTF that got interesting/personal, hooked with the first green I saw,now I want to try and see it through.
Your help gets me one step closer!
Please feel free to warn a blind wanderer about any further cliffs or obstacles your knowledge sees on my path.
WoW and I don't even have a buzz lol
Thanks a ton, again!!
