Someone will suggest it is a nutrient issue but if it was my plant I wouldn't trip on it. Outdoor plants can often get funky spots on their leaves. I would just play a wait-and-see game.

Is that a stick holding up the plant? Not a good sign for a plant so young...It needs to stand on its own. Let it flop over and it will correct itself as it reaches for the sun.

I would get those plants the hell away from that wall. Walls hold dampness, dampness leads to rot.

Other than those spots---which look like the result of some sort of spray---your plants look fine for outdoors. See if you can position them so that they get full sun all day. If you live in the UK, I pity you---since full sun all day rarely exists.

Good grow karma to you!
 
It looks like some sort of insect damage.I had the same thing on my outdoor plant.Check your leaves underneath for insects and if you continue to get them spray with some organic garden spray.Mine stopped after awhile so it might be a insect that just hangs around for awhile and then leaves.
 
Thanks for the info, the spots are on the brand new growth as well so I am thinking it might be lack of something, whats your advice for how long to feed it in veg state before giving it some bloom feed, keeping in mind that I see 2 levels of branch with white pistols?

thanks again...
 
I agree with Namvet, that looks like insect damage. I would suggest spraying them with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Make sure you spray the underside of the leaves as that's where they will likely be.
 
I would have to agree with namvet & Muddy, it looks like leaf cutter aphids, but since it is outdoors, could be many any variety of leaf eating insects. Some type of spray / insecticide, etc. Rubbing alcohol works fast, if you're don't over do it. Or a manuel rub down with Neem oil...get the undersides!!!. And move those babies away from that wall, and maybe even get the bottoms of your planters up off the dirt or get a tray under them. Hope it works out for ya, keeps us in the loop. Puff, puff, pass
 
Insects and animal pests love home foundations. They have an area of high moisture, warmth and a good place to hide. Most pests don't wonder around. They use the foundation as a highway to get into your home. They found your plants very easy to colonize. If you need to place them in that area. Keep them off the ground. Take Muddy's advise and use Neem Oil or garden soap.

Also. Look into the "Life Cycle of Autoflower Cannabis" on AFN Forums. This is by far the best advise on Autoflowers. The forum will tell you week by week on what your Auto will be doing. No need for guess work. It spells out completely what to expect. Excellent Forum.
