Hello there guys and gals, I'm new here but I've been scrolling through here for quite a while now looking for some useful info for my first grow.
An issue came up to two of my girls in 4th week of flowering, they are blue cheese clones from an RQS seed, they were healthy through veg and had a small infestation in week 2 of flower with spidermites. After removing the infested fan leaves and spraying the plant with natural mild soap, water and neem oil solution for a week before the buds started forming, the pests seemed to have disappeared.
A week later some weird stuff started happening to the fan leaves, they were starting to get darker in patches, mostly on the outside. Then some started turning yellow a week later.
Now, in week 5 of flowering, most of the fan leaves i either removed or are about to die, they are becoming more yellow quite quickly and some brown spots have started appearing.
I have been searching deep on the web to find out that it could be a number of things, potentially some nutrient deficiencies, but I was fairly confident with the feeding cycles and the amount they were receiving so I was keen to write that off quickly.
It was today that I noticed that the same leaf damage has appeared on a clone (taken from a flowering plant) that's in the same room, which to be fair wasn't very healthy to begin with.
But that had me thinking that it could be some disease that's spreading inside my grow room.
To sum up in questions:
1. What do you guys think this problem could be and how should I approach it?
2. How much can be done to fix this considering the plants are halfway through the flowering period?
3. Could an unhealthy root zone due to the black cheap plastic pots that are potentially too small for the plants (3gal) be causing a nutrient lockout?
Any thoughts and advice are welcome.
PS: sorry for the horrible photos but that's all my shitty phone's camera has got. Apart from the flash disrupting the natural colors of the plant, the yellowing and brownish spots can be seen.
