I want an honest opinion but not a harsh one. . .
It's growing ik it's gonna get bigger I'm using a mixture of coco 50% and ocean forest 50% I added some azomite and potash, for my admendments I fertilize once a week with Alaskan fish emulsion 5*1*1
When you ask for feedback, you need to be prepared for constructive criticism (ie. harsh feedback). Don't take it personally.

It looks like you've got some significant bug issues. Perhaps caterpillars or slugs. Signs of what might be leaf miner damage too, but I can't tell.

Well hay, you look to have a good start.. They look ok, except for some bug damage. Which is to always be expected outdoor. HELL, I just noticed my plants have aphids this morning. So I did an emergency neem oil/organic lemon juice solution and sprayed. Will do again in 4 days, Then 4 after that. Anyhow I would suggest you start a neem oil regimen also! Your plants will thank you for it, No BS here... And btw, just curious because I noticed your background vegetation looks to be tropical?? What plant zone on the earth are ya?

Thanks for the advice bro I live in keystone (heights)FL in the middle of the woods. . . . .
Went out to the woods and hollowed out the middle of a wide palm bush if you wanted to know that much

Much love broo I'll hit the plant with neem oil or seven dust. Thanks for the advice. Good growing.......

I see now, yeah I got slammed pretty hard by bugs on my reveged girls. But I did a second round of neem spray the other evening and they are responding well. Here's a couple pics of my reveged gas mask (the white stuff is Diatomaceous Earth as another preventive) last one is a couple blue gelato from seed

Thanks buddy! Yeah I've been running clone for clone of this strain for about 4 yrs now. And just as good as ever! And those are strange looking spots? I must say. Overall your plant looks good. But hopefully that critter doesn't keep chewing away at it.

Seven dust is poison...and harms benificial insects.
Bugs are apart of outdoor growing...unless you are looking at an infestation or your plant is dying because of bugs then there is no real reason to use it. Neem is a much better alternative imho
Growing flowers attracts beneficial insects like Green Lacewing, Lady Bugs, and predatory wasps. I'm lucky that my wife is going to horticulture school and is learning this stuff, very helpful!!! You just gotta find the right plant because a lot of bugs have different mouth parts and can't feed on every pollinating plant. Flower Power...

My buddy up the Rd grows alot, has been for years same spot, and he says it's a mold/mildew.
Ya know your buddy might be right. Because I just stopped short and i almost told ya it looks like something different than a bug bite, like acid rain or some shit. But some strange Florida mold/mildew kinda makes sense. I live in the northwest, and have never seen spots like that. At least it's just on the bottom leaves from what I saw.

I use 60/40 soil/coco and would never change. Ever ever.
You have me interested...why wouldn't you change, what made it better? I was going to go 50/50 next grow to try it. Do you add perlite, verm, compost..
Other? Thanks in advance, my friend

I added it just for the fuck of it to be brutally honest, I was growing coco straight for years just decided to go 50/50 this year with ocean forest and coco. I added potash
(Potassium) and azomite which is potassium as well but I fertililize with fish emulsion so as far as adding nitrogen to my soil there's no need too as of right now. Next year I might do that just experimenting with my grows tend to learn alot more than just using one admendment,.
Like I said you learn from experimenting so add what you want much love and good growing....
