those are called "leaf miners". no pesticide spray will kill them because cant penetrate the leaf material.... except for acephate. the best method to get rid of them is getting a hole punch for paper and cutting them out. make sure to collect all the punches because you dont want them to come back. also they look a lot more menacing than they really are, you have to have a very large colony of them to do any serious damage. basically you have to cut them out and collect them...
 
i got this spray called Ortho Volck Oil Spray insect killer do u think that would be good for my spider mites? or would that be bad to spray on my plants??

looks a bit burnt by your nutes...i wouldnt worry about pumping something in , like nutrient it is deficient in...i would flush real good with like 1/4 strength nutes...even less if you could, and then give it a day or two...are the problem leaves at the bottom? or top? or all over?

looks to me like the beginning of one of 3 things...magnesuim, phosphorus, or potassium...im leaning towards phosphures, only because of the dying spots right in the middle of the leaf...a pic of the whole plant would help...but i;d flush with some bloom nutes...lightly, and some cal/mag...or just flush with bloom nutes, and foliar spray some cal.mag...after lights are off of course. if you dont have cal/mag...then get some unsulphured molasses and add to your flush solution...lighly as well...molasses has calcium, magnesium...and iron in it.

ya...you are growing outdoors in a pot right? what kind of soil? fox farms? i use the fox farms line-up...if i had to pick one soluble to buy, it would be beastie bloom...since i have the whole line-up...i would fluch with beastie bloom, and molasses...any nutrient that has a fairly high P-K would be good.
 
yes im growing outdoors and only one of my plants is still in a pot the others are in the ground, but im using miracle grow soil the flower bloom kind for roses that can feed a plant up to 6 months or more, and as far as nutes i have been using a granule type nutes two diffrent kinds one for veg growth and one for flowering. so i feel like i may have gave them to much? how could i flush that?

i have never used the MG you are talking about...but that is the problem with that stuff...if u flush it, she will get fed again...either put her in the ground, or cut back on the frequency of watering...i dunno what else i would do except that.
 
well the ones in the ground i only used a little MG soil on top of the dirt, and the one in the pot is full of mg soil it seem to be working great up until a few days ago cause its been raining a lot. but i did add some nutes yesterday i maybe shouldn't have, its a learning experience for sure this is my first grow.. but thank you for helping man, if u have any more suggestions let me know cause I'm in need of some type of resolution here lol

you can use MG to great extents, just only use 1/2 strength(1/2tbsp per 1 gallon water(900-1500ppm)). feed every other watering.

the pic you posted of your leaves is Nitrogen deficiency; the plant is lime green, the lower leaves are yellowing and dieing(from the tips inward), the yellowing will climb up the plant.
