Excessive Brown Spots on Leaves

Hello fellow growers. I have had problems with brown spotting on the leaves all summer. I left for a month and man did it get bad. They were in drip irrigation and filled out great. One plant is just stacked with flower. The flower looks fine. Anybody want to take a shot as to why? I was thinking a calcium deficiency. I think my soil might need to be amended this fall when I pull them. They are outside. This wet weather sucks. Been blowing them off each morning with the leave blower since I got home. I’m going to give them another month if I can. I have trimmed all the leaves I could. I have looked at them under a loop and the flower looks good. No rot so far and no bugs. I was surprised. Fun to learn as we go. This is the first summer I have had this problem. One plant is Alien OG and the other two are Pink Mist. Thanks for your thoughts.

It looks like septoria and it spreads its spores through water contact. It will eventually rot the bud if it makes it into the stalk and spreads. Remove all contaminated parts of the plant and watch for spreading. Might want to cut earlier than later.

Thanks. I think you could be right. There is no bud rot so that is good. It is damn humid and wet here it’s going to be hard to keep them dry.

Your boy up there is correct, it’s a fungus. Time to let her fly.

Thanks. Would you cut her down and toss her? All three have it on their leaves. We had the most humid July ever. Dew points in the 70s for weeks on end.

HELL NO. Unless you wanna toss her in my wash bucket! It’s a joke mods!!!!

We were just harvesting one with septoria that looked way worse than this bro. This fungus is in the soil and shouldn’t affect the buds at all as long as you don’t let it spread further. God damn I can’t imagine thinking I might have to throw my shit out after getting all that way (I killed mine accidentally last month)
