First time grower questions with nice pictures

[budphysicist]

Hi all,

so, this is my very first time posting on this forum and, also, growing something.
I got two Jack Herer seeds from a good friend and I am growing them outside.
Beside a small problem that I had with thrips, the sisters (Joanna and Marie) are growing happy and pretty (firsts pictures).

At this stage I am using bio-grow every two days.

But, on the last weeks I started to have some problems. I have searched for them on internet but as they are a bit complicated to describe I found different possible causes. Hence, I am here asking for some help from the experts.
If you think it is some nutrient deficiency, please, don't do the work of describing step-by-step what I should do (unless you think it is super necessary). Otherwise, I am capable of search more about it and how fix the problem.

So, the first thing that I want to show is that I have some rust spots in some leafs (the first/older ones. Closer to the roots). I searched for it and it seems a nutrient deficiency. Does everybody agrees with it? If yes I will start to take care of it.

Another thing is this light green spots in some leafs. This is not restricted to the old leafs. I have a bit of it in the new ones as well. Does anyone has a clue about it?

I have one leaf with a big brown spot. Could that be some pontual problem that I had sometime in the past (as I don't have it in any other leaf)?

And last, the very first leafs are turning yellow and appear to be dying. But I think it is normal, right( as it is my first time growing anything I don't know...)?

Many thanks for the help.
Happy growing for all.
Cheers,
Mateus

First and foremost I would be checking the plant for signs of infestation, specifically spider mites and the like. If everything is ok there then I would treat them for a phosphorus deficiency

The later pictures almost certainly indicate pests. Probably mites.
She also looks like she is either root bound or maybe over-watered in the final pic's.
If you need to water her "every two days", I'd let her dry out and up-pot ASAP. She'll love you for it.

She looks over-watered to me; plus signs of mites of something else eating rings around your leaves. That very bottom yellow leaf has probably been touching the soil. That will pretty much kill the leaf within days; nothing to worry about as most growers lose their lower leaves to the same thing.

They need calcium.
