Have you tried anything since you posted?Very similar issue here in upper Midwest. I posted question Friday and no reply.
I also have this happening on my leaves at the back of the plant.Very similar issue here in upper Midwest. I posted question Friday and no reply.
So should I feed them or flush them like @dreamgreen said?
That's what it looks like, back off on the nutes.With those burnt tips, soil might be too hot (too much nutes)....causing nute lockout/P deficiency (the spots)...happened to me recently, a couple good distilled water flushes righted the ship.
pH induced lockout would look more like general deficiency. This isn't showing yellowing, or the leaves dying from the bottom up. The leaves are generally green, but burned. I'm going to go with too hot a soil. It's unlikely that any flushing will fix this, if it's a soil amendment causing the problem. This is why I decry 'organic' fanatics. If you do it right, it works, if you miss, it's hard to adjust in the current year.I see the burnt tips, which goes to @dreamgreen 's point. But, when was the last time you fed? In the previous thread (I linked to), I thought it was some time in the past. If they keep getting worse when you're not feeding... it seems like it would be hunger. Lockout looks a lot like underfeeding. It's the same thing (acidity of the soil not allowing nutrients to be taken up. Or, no nutrients available to be taken up.).
Dam, Ill try flushing it with distilled water a couple of time and then leave it in the sun and see what happens. Here are some leaves I trimmed offpH induced lockout would look more like general deficiency. This isn't showing yellowing, or the leaves dying from the bottom up.

Here are some leaves I trimmed off
Plus, if you pull the ugly leaves off, you lose the ability to measure progression of the problem.I don't think it's a good idea to remove leaves like that. If the plant is underfed (my opinion) or locked out from to much nutrients in the soil, those leaves still have nutrients stored in them. If the plant is cannibalizing its leaves for nutrients, and you pull them off because they look bad, then it has to cannibalize other leaves (more). The two lightest yellow ones (bottom right) might not matter. But, the others could still have had some value to the plant (IMO).
I posted them on the plant further up in the thread. I took them off because I dont think they will recover and their was a cricket happily munching on one lolI don't think it's a good idea to remove leaves like that.

I understand what you are sayingPlus, if you pull the ugly leaves off, you lose the ability to measure progression of the problem.
