What are these spots on the fan leaves?

Looks kinda like it could be calsium def to me, but I cannot say for sure because of the white spots! Let's hope some master sensei could give a verdict!

That is leaf septoria, mostly seen on outdoor crops. It is a fungal infection that spreads through contact. You can try treating it with a copper fungicidal spray but there are no guarantees. Don't handle the plant any more than you have to but rain will also make it spread. You can try and trim the leaves off of the affected areas to slow down the spread but that probably won't work well either.

If you have more plants growing than that one, don't handle them after touching that one. It will spread through contact. Once you have harvested that plant, get rid of the remains or burn them. Don't leave any affected foliage around anywhere to transfer to your tools, clothing, anything. It will return if given the opportunity to the following years crops. If you grow tomatoes, it is somewhat like blight.

Add a ww to the link above, for some reason the links aren't displaying correctly here lately.

Hmmm,... @A4, could they be old lensing burns as well? --the blanched dead tissue and sharp margins around the ring, no yellowing,...? LOL!--I've been lucky to not have this hit me yet!

Could be if he had moved them outside from indoors but since he mentioned he was only home a few days a week and didn't mention that he had recently transplanted then I assumed it was an outdoor plant for life. If he had mentioned that I would buy into it but I believe this one has been outside for life.

I thought the same thing also. That, or some type of pest.

Started under t5's, and were outside at week two of veg & it's been chilling since then.

Hmm, you could be onto something. Although, I have seen leaf septoria on other plants, and I personally don't think it looks like this (imo. i could be wrong though, hence why I'm asking....lol). Also, with this girl I haven't pH'd the water, not even once. So that could have something to do with it as well (I'm 100% sure it's not helping the cause either lol).

With all that being said, I hope more people give their opinion (I'm open to anything). I will say for just being left outside all spring/summer w/ barely any love....it could definitely look a lot worse. No, I don't get to be home much. I'm a commercial fisherman.

For pH swings, calcium or any other nutrient deficiency I would expect to see a much worse plant than that. Color looks decent, stems look nice, green and healthy, flower development, while not spectacular, looks fine.

I took all of that into consideration in my first diagnosis and concluded it was either fungal or pest and that definitely isn't pest. But hey, I have been wrong many times before, lol. Maybe someone else will chime in and throw out some ideas. The nice thing, it isn't powdery mildew, boytris or something that will spread into the flowers. Worse case, it continues getting worse but you should be getting close to harvest date I would think. I don't believe you will see much damage done before then.

won't^ I meant to say, won't see much damage done. Sorry.

I'm not saying you're wrong, at all & hope I didn't come across as an asshole. (I just usually like a few opinions to go on, then go with the one that looks/is most relevant) You're right, I'm very thankful it isn't. I've sprayed with BT twice, because I found 2 caterpillars & haven't seen any since.
Supposedly this strain is a 10 weeker, but that's via Barneys Farm & we all know how that goes. It's on it's 6th or 7th week of flower, don't really remember tbh...Yeah, it only has 3-4 weeks left (if the weather doesn't get shitty. thankfully we've had no hurricanes this year) max.

 

[A4]

No not at all and no offence taken. I wasn't trying to be short, I was trying to be funny. Unfortunately my sense of humor is pretty dry. I am hoping someone else chimes in because I honestly can't think of anything else it would be and after that initial post I thought maybe I should have another look. I just can't think of anything else because the plant looks pretty darn good other than those few spots. Normally you see some other tell tale signs but she has none other than those spots and a little tip burn which could very likely have occurred during a dry period.

Hopefully someone else can come up with something.

A better picture so you can see the fan leaves on one of the colas from below, @A4
