Just wondering what these patches on my basil is? Its been grown in my window for the past month and the weather's been pretty hot, Not really got bellow 15*C. I usually water directly onto the soil also.
Looks like you have a little green animal eating at one of the leafs.

Looks like thrips damage to me. The tiny black dots on the area of damage are the telltale sign
As awful as this sounds, my advice is to throw the plant away. Thrips are notoriously difficult to get rid of and basil is extremely vulnerable to them. You’re more likely to spread thrips to other plants if you keep the plan than you are to get rid of the thrips
Basil is super cheap and easy to grow anew, so it’s honestly not worth the time to try and save it.
