I am growing this plant in organic soil with bat guano, been vegging about 6 weeks. I feed it fish emilsion 4ml/ gal, seaweed extract 4 ml/ gal and sweet 10ml/ gal when i water it about every 3-4 days. total amount of water (with seaweed and fish emulsion) i give it is about 550 ml per watering. It has very small redish/brown/rust colored spots on some of the leaves. Some of the spots are only visible from the top, while others are visible on the bottom of the leaves as well. The pictures are far from great but i hope it gives you an idea of what im dealing with. Thanx and + rep for any information you can help me with.

Hard for me to tell from those pics but it certainly wouldn't hurt to give them a good spraying of insecticidal soap, neem oil nicotine tea, or something along those lines. Overall the leaves look real good. Best of Luck and hope this helped some.

What's the pH of your feed & at the run-off? Might be pH issues or Calcium, or both. Pics aren't great but there are differing color leaves w lighter yellow at the growing shoots... usually not a good sign as deficiencies are present. However, it likely isn't due to your feed levels being too low. Probably a pH issue preventing uptake. You might be overfeeding as well. I'm not in soil but from my understanding, you don't feed the first 5-6 weeks, then you do, but not every watering. If this is the case, it might be way too much food. Peace.
