My plants are growing great just getting these little brown spots on the leaves and there are also some holes is this just from slugs? I’ve been picking them off and using slug be gone.
What’s going on here?

Leaf hoppers I'm guessing I would use castile soap with a little neem on plants that are not flowering I hear people don't like neem but I use it I just won't use on flowering plants. You can use on flowering just my preference not to

I got mine off amazon I'm in Ontario smells terrible a small bit goes a long way. Soap is to kill neem to prevent 2drops neem 5ml of the soap I listed above in quart of water you're laughing. If it comes back you can reapply after 10 days DO NOT SPRAY IN DIRECT Sun. Also spray enough to get the leaf wet totally but not dripping do both under the leaf and top. I will also spray all surrounding areas and anti bug plants big help as well
Only method I've used sorry man don't know about the premix home hardware stuff I'm sure it works
Also leaf hoppers can be devistating they suck the sap out of new growths they don't bite but can transfer deseases with so many different breeds of leaf hoppers we are still discovery them today. Mainly you see in Ontario red stripes with green body's and they do have wings 6 legs.
I would suggest to read on leaf hoppers and prevention there are many different methods pick one that you think that suits you and when you find something that works and stick with it add it to your bag of tricks

That's the baby leaf hopper then will grow stripes when adults it will have the 6 legs and wings when you try to catch it. they leaving the marking on you're leaves eventually sucking them dry or transferring deseases
I had the same problem when they were young they long gone now but here are some of my older leaves on bottom of plant. Damaged leaves won't cure but new growth will come in normal
