Spots on Bubble Gum Kush Leaves

[CalDog870]

Hey, I'm a relatively inexperienced grower looking for help identifying what is going on with my plant. I got a Bubble Gum Kush clone off of a buddy a few days ago. It was well rooted in a solo cup and looked to be in fairly good condition except for a couple small holes in one of the leaves. I transplanted it into a temporary pot filled with Miracle Grow Pro Mix Organic Vegetable and Herb Soil. It is being grown outside in direct sunlight for 10 hours starting at around 7am. I live in the great lakes region and it has been fairly hot and humid recently with a high of 32°C or 90°F yesterday. I water a decent amount every morning except if it rains the night before. Any help identifying what is wrong with my plant would be greatly appreciated. It looks like the end of the one leaf is curling and dying. There is also some small holes in a couple of the leaves with a brownish tinge around the edge of the holes.

Thanks,

Cal Dog

Hey CalDog870 it looks to me like simple leaf damage. Something got bent or pinched. I get them when my twisty ties slip and damage bud sites. Not your case. Just an example.

Thank you very much Gingerbeard that's a relief and makes perfect sense. Should I trim off the dead part or just let it be?

[UndergroundFarmer]

If it's just leaf damage I leave it alone until I'm satisfied I've got enough healthy growth above it before I trim it. If it's necrotic I get rid of it since it usually isn't doing the rest of the plant any favors.

Like UGF said. The necrotic bit can get gone. It'll probably crisp up and fall off by itself. And such a young plant, that fan leaf will get removed along the way.

If you find a leaf with something 'wrong' with it, don't sweat. Keep an eye on the leaf to see if it gets worse. Also, look at other leaves for similar damage. Often, if you damage a bud site/leaf node where there are young leaves, all the fingers of the fan will be torn or crinkled. They're young leaves and will not impede growth. Again, the damage leaves will probably get removed along the way. Don't go in and remove them when you see them.
If the damage gets worse or spreads, sweat. Take some pictures. Go to the GWE website or come back here.

CalDog870 Did you harden the plant when you moved it outside in the sunlight? Few hours a day to start, etc.? Looks like it could be sun burned.
But I've been wrong many times before

Thanks for all of the advice it really helps. GreenState No I did not harden the plant as I did not know I had to. It has been getting 10 hours or more of direct sunlight for the last 5 days. Should I be lessening the amount of sunlight it gets a day? Or is it too late for that now?
