Here are some concerns I have:
Let me know what yall might think this is? I’m not quite sure when to add nutes! Open to learning.

When to add nutrients will be based off ur soil. What kind of soil are you in?
The pics you seem concerned with look like normal leaf blemishes. No concern there. 2nd pic looks like it might have sat in wet soil, hence the color change. Also no reap concern.

This mix should hold enough nutrients for 4-6 weeks. Some plants a hungrier than others.
Id say within the next week, give or take a couple days you can start watering to run off and to see where you ppm #s are which will help you determine when to start feeding
Anytime its something im comfortable with helping with i 100% will. If i dont know or am unsure ill tag in a few of the growmies

Okay. Just a little information ^ a post I had earlier in my grow someone had told me to go ahead an add nutes and I did! And it instantly started giving it signs of nute burn. However I was able to flush the plant and I went ahead and moved them to a new pot with new soil because I hadn’t had my tds pen yet. So a little bit of a trial and error there but it seems to be that they are doing fine.

So would you say to wait to see what ppm is in probably 4 weeks? I had flushed it probably 2 weeks ago

So what i ment by that is 4-6weeks from the start, not from this moment. Personally i would wait atleast another week to water to runoff to see what ur ph and ppm #s are. Right now you arent even at 30days old.
Thats part of the learning curve growmie, no worries.
Do you have one now? You can cheap put on the tds meter but personally would not recommend that for you PH meter. This is the one i use.
When you do water to runoff you’ll want about 20-25% runoff vs what u put in. At this point i would do a solo cup or 2 in a ring around ur plant then wait a few days n repeat.
Edit: I also see you are in containers. I would make sure there is plenty of drain holes in the bottom even if you have to add more. Also should have stated that its important to do a drench to drought cycle once you start watering to run off.
What do you mean a drench to drought period after testing runoff? Do you mean letting the soil get real dry before watering?

Yes sir thats the idea.
So when you start watering to runoff lift the pot a few times to get an idea of how heavy it is. The pot should be LIGHT when its time to water again. If judging by weight doesnt work you can stick your finger in the soil a couple inches down, in multiple spots to gage how “wet” the soil is.
I also made an edit on my last post idk if you saw that. I would also advise against the soil meter you have. I used one when i first started and it was never accurate in MY experience with it.

Yeah man ask away no worries! I would not be where im at if i didnt ask the same questions ur asking and get the help i got when i first joined the fourm.
Its funny because i grow veggies outside too and while its similar, i have to be more on top of it with the weed. I can put my veggies outside and forget avout them for a month and i wont have any issues getting them to grow and produce fruit… cant do that with the weed

So as far as making sure my ph pen is accurate I got some buffer solution and I’ve looked up a ton of videos of how to use the buffer solutions but I can’t find one that uses my pen
