Hi all. New to the forum - also new to growing My first attempt, I have 5 plants growing. They sprouted about 4 weeks ago... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd say they are in the late Seedling/early Vegetative Growth stage. I couldn't tell you exactly because I'm not as experienced as most of you probably are.
They are grown outside in near-perfect conditions I would say. In the southern hemisphere spring is well and truly here and summer is just around the corner. I have been watering them 2 of every 3 days on average - the plants shares a 3 litre (3/4 gallon) watering can of water between them, which usually leaves the soil in each pot quite most for the majority of the day - drying up towards the end of the day. Also on Monday I gave them a feed (a liquid based plant food - all pictures of plants and food I am using are below). It says on the bottle to only use once a month. I am going to follow that - unless someone else can correct me on whether I should be doing it more/less frequently.
One of the plant's leaves are starting to brown, and the leaves on 2 other plants have developed these kind of white-spots. They don't look like mold (although it could be) or anything else I've ever seen on a plant to be honest.... but rather look like tiny droplets of white paint on the leaves. There's hardly any of the spots... And after a long list of google searching I was unable to find any solid answers. Lots of problems and solutions for them similar, but I thought it was best to seek advise from those who may be more help than google and a bunch of random websites. I would prefer to get a solid answer now so I know whether to act on it, or whether it's a problem/disease that's only going to get worse. So I appreciate all your knowledge and wisdom
Here are the plants with the white spots:

Thanks. If you need anymore information or pics, just let me know and I will reply/upload with what you need.
Thanks again so much for any advice/help anyone can give me. Hopefully one day I will be able to pass the same advice on to someone else who needs it
