Help, first time grow, droppings (pics)

[sbudnick]

Hey guys, I noticed these black spots, they are like a little round sesame seed but smaller and seem to be embedded In the leaf. Also there is a leaf with bites in it and silver slither marks, I’ve got some Yates natures way caterpillar and veggie and herb spray, should I use both of them ? Thanks

i think it's a scale bug , do some googling & see what you think 

if that's what it is , here are some methods of control

fare enough 

i thought they were a bit like this from the pic https://www.google.com.au/search?q=black+scale+bug+images&dcr=0&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=ioheEqzA-QeAXM%253A%252Ce9tu8bMS4YNGuM%252C_&usg=__xLMtY2rnhxZpV8EKPZBL_7_whP4%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYwI_rna7YAhWEy7wKHdAMCK4Q9QEIMTAD#imgrc=ioheEqzA-QeAXM:

 

only on the one leaf which is no longer on the plant = gone 

also = keep an eye out & maybe start a IPM plan , integrated pest management & be preemptive

so just cut the leaf off ? Also this is happening on new leaves white marks can see it on bottom leave also

Look under the leaves carefully for movement. Could be triphs. The black spots could be bug poop

Plant looks good, wouldn't worry about a few leaf blemish's

thanks, I will hold off for now with pesticides, it did go through a massive heat stress last month left it out on a 42 degree day and all the bottom leaves are dying

Leaves will be shredded by the plant naturally as well as from damage, pests and diseases. Provided the plant is mature, ensure removal of any half dead leaves. The plant will waste energy on trying to sustain them. Better having the energy spent on growing or flowering. I prune completely from about a foot down.
