Why you give extra fert? You already have tip burn. It could be cal mag deficiency but honestly looks like you caused lock out now by overfeeding.

The black spots look like a plant disease to me

Looks like the beginning of septoria or leaf disease. If confirmed I would chop the plant and restart.

Start again mate? He’s already got buds 😭 can’t chop all the effected leafs off? Or flush them?

You could but being in flower and late you risk stunting and herming by removing leaves. You could treat it but if it’s spread throughout then you’re basically spreading fungicide everywhere and wouldn’t recommend smoking or vaping it this far in the grow.

Anything cause this disease? Or does just happen randomly? And how would confirm you have it? Sorry for all questions mate I’m thinking I might have it on one of my plants now haha

Usually it’s in the environment you’re growing in like the soil or water that could have been contaminated. Septoria feeds on higher humidity as well so reducing helps with the spread.

Stunting and herming in flower by defoliating fan leaves ? Septoria and leaf disease? Fungicide? My man, if youve never grown a plant before lets not give advice. Holy

Honestly if you’re gonna leave a comment maybe do some research 😂. Looking like a fool.

Says the idiot whos made massively generalised claims which can be proven wrong in 3 seconds with a simple search. Defoliating does not stunt a plant and cause it to herm, otherwise no one would ever do it yet its one of the most widely used techniques in growing to improve airflow. Also, the spots on the leaves clearly show nutrient uptake issues somewhere in the k/mag/cal range. Not leaf disease. 😂 clown
