Its been raining hard last 2 days, upon looking at my plant ( inground) i discovered some spider mites :/ which i guess imma try that citric acid for those but what is up with these fan leaves, they have brown spots on them, they don't wipe off. I just fed her right before the rain and added a tsp of cal mag to jacks bloom booster. All the rain probably flushed nutrients away. What do yall think? Is it cal mag,or something else.
Cal mag def?

Second on the leaf septoria, I had a bad bout of it. Took out a ton of my fan leaves on my indica dominant plant. That's what the yellow spots are, clusters of the bacteria. The spores are in your soil most likely if you have that many spots on the leaves. Depending on how far along you are in flower I wouldn't want to be spraying anything on the flowers but there are things you can use to treat it. Look up yellow spot or leaf septoria treatment. I tried a three in one product containing sulfur and it torched my pistils to a crisp. I wouldn't recommend it in flower.

Yeah, looks like a leaf fungus to me as well. I've been slammed by it this year, definitely have a number of plants badly affected by it. It's a widespread problem this year in the northeast with way above normal amounts of rain (see articles about muted fall colors due to leaf fungi). Not much I can do about it being in the woods surrounded by trees (Dr Zymes didn't seem to change anything IMO, nor Serenade Disease Control) so I'm living with it and will hope for a dryer season next year. I did read that it may help to burn or compost (tree) leaves this year, to cut down on the amount of fungal spores floating about next year.
Thank you, I had given her a little more cal mag already
its still raining on and off so,maybe itll flush it out .Thank you!

No to the Neem oil as it will get over everything. You don't want that stuff on your flower. It will for sure give you a taste you won't forget. A lot of this stuff are things I had to learn the hard way because I didn't know about places like this. If you want, spray a test branch and mark it with a ribbon or bread tie and then smoke it later on to see if it's something that you can live with. I can't stand the taste and just the smell of it makes me cringe now. I think your best call is to ride it out and cut off every leaf with bad yellow spots. The spots are actually colonies of the virus. They are hard like little tumors. You can also mulch around the base of the plant heavy to cover up the spores that are in the soil at the base of the plants. Clean your scissors with alcohol as your going along especially between plants otherwise you can be spreading it as you go. It's a pain in the ass and I'm in the NE as well so this has been killing me for months. You can't even compost them since the virus is still alive for a long time. I've been piling them up and throwing them out in the garbage. Best of luck with your garden.
