Im leaning towards magnesium deficiency here for the blotchy spotting leaves. Is there a cal mag or something with magnesium in it that you have? Im unfamiliar with you nute product line. This is a very common problem most new growers have.
The very tips of leaves turning yellow is nute burn. Its not bad at all yet though. Just enough to let you know that whatever strength you fed was just barely too much. So if you keep it at that same level or dial it back just a bit youre fine. But as thebplant grows just remember to slowly increase your nutes only ifnit needs them.

As far as the nute burn (sorry forgot to address in prev post) i wouldnt worry about it. How often are you giving nutes compared to plain water? Like 1-1 nutes water nutes water or 2-1 nute nute water.
As long as you dont see the tips of your new leaves at the top of your plant turning and it is just those older ones youre fine.
As i mentioned just watch when you feed if it burns new leaves dial it back. If there is no nute burn then the next feed up your nutes slightly. Its a balance game you will get the hang of it. Trust me.

Sometimes that's genetic. Have you grown this strain before without this mottling showing up?
Do you have gnats?

Hey jay,
Get your ph up to 6.0.-6.5. A ph of 5.5 is too low for soil. Judging by the container/plant size I wouldn't recommend feeding for a week or two. You haven't fertilized yet have you?
The white bugs were in the soil or on the leaves? It could be whiteflies, says captain obvious me...
If you can afford 25 bucks to kill the bugs get some azamax and do a soil drench. Even if it's not gnats it will still kill any pests you might have, I believe it's certified organic and food safe.
Roots Organic has had fungus gnat infestations in the past which led me to convert to happy frog soil. If you disturb the soil and get a bunch of little assholes flying around then you have gnats. One thing I stress for new growers is to relax and let the plant do its thing. As with most new hobbies it is natural to overthink and over correct.
I hope this helps.
