I've had this on a water schedule at 6AM then at 12PM then again at 7PM all for 1 minute. It's about 35c outside, full sun. Started getting black leave and flowering stopped. Reduced watering to once a day and improved. Still seeing white spots on leaves. Any suggestions?

Not sure why the white spots. @annettenoosa may be able to help. But your watering regime wouldn’t be helping. Rather than frequent shallow waterings try deep waterings that are less frequent. This will build up resilience in your plants.
@oomall01 Gosh, I never water my tagetes/marigolds. They are hardy, drought tolerant, self seeding, self care in my garden. I did notice some leaves turning dark, with a white, pin spot sediment on the leaves in Winter; almost like a frost damage, although frost is unlikely here on the Sunshine Coast. I left them, they are now producing crops of self seeded plantlings from total neglect. 😊🐝 @brightcolours
Thank you @ausgardentags and @Annettenoosa. I read that blog article, it really helped thank you. And Annette I have taken them off the irrigation. Even after a few days and one organic liquid feed they are looking much better!!

I’m a big believer in liquid fertilisers. Do you use them? http://www.greenlifesoil.com.au/sustainable-gardening-tips/liquid-fertiliser
