Not sure what(if anything) is going on with my plant. Ist time grower, were given seedlings from a friend (unknown strain). Started seeing spots on leaf. Can someone help me? ![20210825_132750](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/5/a/55aa13a9c1cca74c32d894938d7c4b838c54d27f.jpeg) ---

Some kind of leaf miner. Try Neem oil in veg and Capn’ Jack’s Dead bug all the time. ---

That is what Spidermite damage looks like, not sayin thats the culprit, but textbook crime scene. Look on the back of the leaves with a loupe, they are tiny, point of a pin tiny. ---

Could also possibly be thrips check for elongated translucent brown and white or just white little bugs on the undersides of the leaves My opinion you’d see tiny webs filled with little dots by now if that was spider mites ---
