this is growing in garden, the leaves start of with small black to brown spots appearing along the veins, from the base of leaf spreading to the tips only on the veins. the leaves start going yellow from the tip and fall off when they turn completly yellow. plant gets feed with thrive normal dose once or twice a fortnight, it was infecting the older leaves, which we were removing but the spots are now starting on the smaller leaves, and to many appearing to remove now. the rest of the plant looks healthy. Any ideas?

the soil isa mixture of dirt with with potting mix dug in with it, the un affected leaves are a nice healthy green, the spots appear first then leaves start to yellow, its been doing this for the past 2 months and plucking the leaves was keeping it under control, but its noww spreading rapidly.

I would try to flush the soil to cut back the strength of whatever nutes are in soil. Give a couple days. See what the new growth looks like. Some of the older leaves won't look better but check the new ones.:twisted:

"plant gets feed with thrive normal dose once or twice a fortnight, it was infecting the older leaves, which we were removing but the spots are now starting..."
What is a "fortnight"?

Not sure but you could be feeding your girls too much "thrive" and if that is the case you have nute burn. It is easy to over feed the plants because they can be touchy. When a plant goes through an ovberdose of nutes older leaves are the first ones affected which is perhaps the reason you see it on the older ones first.

Another person in this thread recommened you give your soil a complete flush and hold back on giving the girls any nutes or ferts for a few days, water only, and see what happens. This is the best advice and slao the simplest fix to a major problem with the girls.

Keep us up to date on this,

leave it alone and give it plain water iuntill it continues.....if it continues further in a week and a half then it is a pest of some sort instead of something that you are doing.

i asked my boy and he says that its a pest infestation. try spraying with some dishsoap, and see if that control;s it a little because the soapy water clogs up insects breathing pores

thanks for everyones help, but have tried flushing the soil, (which is good soil and other types of plants growing in same soil are fine) but sad to sad the spots are starting to appear on the newer small leaves. the older spots look a bit like black spot, but these start off as small dk brown dots just along the veins, and only on the veins,and get bigger and darker, where black spot appears any where on the leaf.
