(Pics) NEED urgent help. New growth dying

I’m growing outdoors in Australia. Flowering is due to start in a week or 2, I have a plant in a 100Litre pot, coco and potting mix, with a little pear moss and perlite. Fed every second water like all my other plants (which are fine).

Temperatures have been quite warm the last couple weeks, but nothing crazy. Humid too.

Last Sunday I woke up to see lots of dark(almost grey) spots on my Newer leaves, some where dry and crunchy, some soft flimsy and grey coloured, edges of leaves turning yellow and white and spreading from outside in it seems. Brand new growth has yellow dying tips, seems to be growing very slow. Bottom leaves and any new shoots under canopy seem fine, seems like it is happening at the top where the sun hits.

It’s only been around 30 Celsius the last week or so, nothing compared to the 40 Celsius we had a month ago (plant loved it). I’ve flushed it twice in the last week, fed it lightly.

I do have a spider mite problem, which I have had before, just like my other plants next to it which are fine. What could it be?

Oh and this seemed to happen overnight, I fed the plant a light feed the night before with some seasol, and woke up to this. (Same feed for my others which are fine, so I don’t think it’s the food (

To me it looks like something has been sprayed on it. If the underneath stuff is ok and it's just the tops. Have you moved it to where something could've run off of somewhere on to it. A roof perhaps?
I'd suggest cutting all the bad bits off so the plant doesn't waste energy and stress itself trying to fix itself especially this close to bloom.

I'm a Pom who is begrudgingly giving you advice lol
We deserved to lose five nil btw

HAaha I don’t watch the cricket. No nothing can leak onto it, I sprayed for spider mites a few times

I'm at a loss then. I would still cut the damaged stuff off though. I doubt it'll repair itself in time and that way the lower stuff gets a better view of the sun.
I know very little about outdoor being a Pom. We don't have the weather for it.
Best of luck with it

Hey

Please anyone, it’s still new growth being effected even the tiny new leaves, starting from the tips working up the leaf. Some bend down and go soft and floppy and dark green and grey coloured.. some go whitish colour and crunchy

If you're sure that nothing got on it that might have caused it than it's either an infection or nutrient deficiency or toxicity. You can either look up a trouble shooting guide or even use your description of the symptoms for a search term and you'll probably have an answer in under five minutes.
