I'll tell you right now, it's NOT due to water droplets... not at all! If that was the case, the spots would be getting brown and crispy (although it's NOT a good idea to let water droplets sit on the leaves). What you've got is some kind of insect that sucks the life out of your plants.... and it doesn't matter whether it's aphids or spider mites or thrips or whiteflies... they all do the same damage and they all need to be gotten rid of. Grab yourself some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad and use as directed... you'll need to spray the tops and the bottoms of all leaves and it's best to do that just before lights out... Just another recommendation here - you need to be watering her a lot more... at her size, the entire pot needs to be watered, not just the small area around her... those roots are growing quickly and they won't grow well in dry soil so help them out by getting all of it wet when you give either water or nutes... the roots will grow out to get it! Looking good - and getting rid of the pests at this stage will be pretty easy... but you MUST get rid of them! Good luck!

btw - both Dr. Zymes and Spinosad are organic (except Canada doesn't recognize Spinosad as being that) and both can be used all the way to harvest without affecting the buds (if you need to use something during flower) or affecting the taste of the smoke...

I had the same problem with my first grow a few weeks back, on 1 out of 7 plants I didn’t want to risk anything so I went to the store and bought a organic pest killer for plants, sprayed it on 1 time before switching to darkness 2 days, Make sure to spray on both sides on leaves and be very meticulous. Now it was 3 weeks ago and no new spot has appeared and any of the plants, Hope you sort it out and have a strong growth

High Jelly, This could be cause by a pest or because your leaves are wet and got burned because of the light being magnified by the water droplets. So first of all try to keep your leaves dry while watering! But the damage really looks like damage cause by spider mites or thrips. So to make sure that it is cause by the water droplets and not by bugs inspect the bottom of the leaves for eggs and bugs with a loupe or microscope 30x they cost like 10 dollars and they are also necessary to check the trichomes to determinate when the plant is ready for harvest. If you notice a pest then check this article about how to deal with bugs and how to kill them with a safe and organic solution. https://www.growweedeasy.com/safe-cannabis-pesticides Goodluck and enjoy your grow!

It's either because your wetting the leaves and the droplets are being magnified by the light and causing burn spots, or you have pests. Check under the leaves for pests. If there are none then its probably burn from the light.
