Problems : Leaves Are Starting To Rot
Seems Like The Plant Is Growing Slow
Looks Like Bugs Have Been Biting On The Leaves Leaving Holes.
What Do I Do? Or What Am I Doing Wrong?

If its rotting one of my guesses would be over watering. You should give one good thorough water every couple days where all the water will drain out of the bottom. I mean I've never grown outside so it could be eating up the water quick. But 3/4 cup just doesn't seem like enough per watering. If you did more, you'd probably water less. I'm growing indoors though so I've never really dealt with the bug problems. I am sure there is something to remedy that if you looked.

Yeah I wasn't sure if I should suggest that either only because I am not able to tell. Still noob here :P
 
Even the most experienced growers tend to want to over water their plants. Its a natural thing, you sit wonder and wait. Do not do this... Typically rule of thumb is to wait until the TOP 2 inches of the soil is dry then add water! Your leaves a drooping, there is too much water in the veins of the plant = over watering = you are essentially drowning your plant and it will die if continued... That or the stem rot. Id say give it one good watering every 4-7 days (read what I wrote above.) Just remember, roots search for water and cannabis likes to get dry and loves when she gets her water. Goodluck they are beautiful.

I think it may be the decomposing fish. I believe you want to add that fish right after this years harvest, give it time to decompose so the plant can then eat it up through the microbes that feed your plants . The rotting fish could be damaging your roots. I think I am right but I am baked. Maybe some comfirmation or elaboration from someone who knows better.

If I was you...first thing I'd do is get them in a bigger pot. I'd put them in Michigan m3 supersoil and water them less often and with more water then 3/4 cup. Oh and don't add fish to your soil that's foolish.

Do NOT put anything rotting on/in your soil unless it has a specific use. Adding fish bone meal will help your plants. This can be bought at your local nursery/hydroponic shop. Rotting material will lead to bugs, bugs will lead to bigger bugs, big bugs eat plants and lay eggs in the plants. The only thing you should be adding to your soil is certain meals (fish bone, bone, bat guano, etc.) or liquid nutrients.
