Small white dots on fan leaves

Just attached some photos of my recent grows. Unsure what the small white dots are on fan leaves. Anyone give me a hand? Growing in pot with a soil mix. Feeding with a fish/seaweed fert. Unsure what run off is. Cheers

Im with @Hashtonbutcher on this one. First thought come to mind was spider mites. As suggested, use a scope and see what they look like up close.

Yeah I think mites are the problem. Using neem oil. See how that goes. Should I be concerned about the damage so far or it’s recoverable. Cheers

Looks like possible white flies, get you some pure crop 1 and use as directed. Safe to use up to harvest day. And will not leave any weird smell or taste. Stuff is awesome

If it’s spider mites you’ll need more than just Neem oil for the win.
The damage is done but if you stop the infestation from getting larger by a multi pronged attack of different treatments it won’t get worse and she will recover.
Castile soap and water (not detergents like dawn)
Diatomaceous earth
Many things to use especially while in veg.
In flower some things you don’t want to use like Neem oil.

Here’s a link to what I tried when I went through the dance…
Hope it helps

I would pull an affected leaf off and set it upside down on a table and get out my magnifying device and start looking. You’ll find them and then be able to tell what it is and treat accordingly.
They are there for sure.

Treat m to beat mmm. I had fungus nats my first grow drove me crazy but they didn’t hurt my crop. I have a friend at the local hydroponic store who gave me a bag of ladybugs to put in my grow space to take care of pests. Anyone heard of that before? He says there are two kinds of ladybugs. Strange very strange. Good luck I’m sure you will get the infestation take care of.
