Something HOT got on your plant.. Whether it was your feed or something else that's from a liquid ..

Are you sure it's not phytotoxicity? There's obvious bug activity on the plant but sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease if not applied correctly.
It's hard to tell from a few photos. But that's just an avenue of possibility.
Also, the cure likely eliminated the pests but the damage was already done and the plants are reflecting it.
The new growth is what you want to be looking at.
Hope you get it all straightened out.

Neem oil and garlic spray. Good luck.
is this the hopper your talking about,
While I guess it is possible they can transmit disease I have personally never seen an outdoor MJ plant without them. And I don't think they do a lot of harm to an otherwise healthy plant.
That said I really don't like ANY bugs on my plants, poking holes for disease to enter, not to mention the pissing, and defecating on the plants is a big cause of mold starting.
Maybe try those sticky traps, yellow sticky things.
Or I don't know how effective it is, but also maybe insecticidal soap.

Next time spray at night.. Insects do not cause damage like that.. IMO nothing to worry about. it will recover.

garlic sounds interesting, I ´m not sure I´ve heard about it before or not. Do you just boil some cloves and use the water? Could watering your plants with it help in anyway to prevent problems for example bugs etc from settling on the plants int he first place?
This is very interesting

Yeah just mince up some garlic cloves and let them simmer for 15-20 minutes then let cool and sit overnight. Strain, add a couple drops of soap as a surfactant, and spray. It doesn't kill them but repels them as they don't like the garlic. I wouldn't use it in flower. You can add other stuff like hot peppers or a little bit of sesame oil. Even some citric acid to make it a contact killer for soft body insects.
The garlic also has sulfur which can help prevent powdery mildew.
I've been making my own organic sprays for years and have found them to be very effective.

onions are also full of sulfur, have you experimented with them too, I wonder if they would also do the trick?
how about not just spaying but actually watering them with garlic water. Do you think this could be just as effective ?

Onion can be used as an insect repellent spray. I have never watered my plants with garlic water. I have read about it's use using that method but it can be detrimental if overused. I don't see any need to water plants with it. The spray is effective at deterring pests due to the Allicin in the garlic which is a natural pest deterrent.

Xtsho, you know any natural sprays that would be used in flower

The only thing I would spray in flower would be citric acid. Fortunately I haven't had the need to use anything for many years. Prevention is better than any cure.
Organic Active oils like Soybean and Corn oil are fine to use at any time. This is a very common preventative and is approved as a fungicide/Miticide. Ive been using Growsafe for a decade. Its not harmful to bees, I love the stuff. GrowSafe is made of 100% FOOD-GRADE INGREDIENTS that can be purchased in any grocery store and is also OMRI listed for organic use. You could make your own.

Almost looks like wind/sun burn you see when going from indoors to outdoors. Albeit a bit different and not as whitish. Looks healthy otherwise. I doubt it will be a recurring issue.
