Second Grow; Specks on leaves?

First post from me, and it's a 'help me' post, sorry! This is a second grow (10 days old), I've noticed some specks/spots on a few of the leaves. Is this anything to worry about? Wondering if it's the beginning of a disease or perhaps insects?

Any advice would be great, thank you.
(The container is just Temp, I know it's not large enough, soon to go in the ground.)

1) container would be enough for some time, check the roots before transplanting

2) I had the same before before, though I don't know about it. mines grew totally healthy (2 years ago)

3) seems you are overwatering, that would cause some problems

wish you the best

Yeah, I could be over-watering. I water daily, but it's so hot and dry where I am. I intend to keep it in the current container for several weeks. And thank you, I'll keep a close eye on them and check the roots before transplanting.

daily watering is way too much

wait for the soil to completely dry (stick your finger through the soil)

that would be watering per 2-3 days

looks like spider mite damage check the undersides of your leaves to find them

A little up date for the heck of it. The specks/bumps on the leaves went away. Looked, but never saw anything.. not sure if it had mites or not. It's doing better now, though I'm still over-watering it. I can see the discoloration on the leaves. I'll get that under control though.

Perfectly healthy, don't trip. Plants don't need to be babied.

But keep spraying. Spidermites don't just decide to go away. They trick you into thinking they are gone, then come back in full force.
