Hello All,  
Some of my plants, on some leaves have tiny white dots as you see in the pics. What is that? What do I do about it? Also some of the leaves the last few days have been eaten up and from googling images I suspect caterpillars. Anything organic that you guys have tried and worked for you?

Jack’s Dead Bug Juice is supposed to be safe for cannabis. I used it once for spider mites. Worked well.

So are you saying those white dots are spider mites?

@Amorcito No. They’re Not spider mites.  
But I’d check the non cannabis plant right next to it. I can just make out a few marks on a couple of the lower leaves.  
Possible source of whatever is making those marks.  
Not seeing any bugs on the back of that leaf you flipped.  
Clearer pics might help a bit more too.  
They blur when I zoom in. 😉

No expert not my plant but to me looks like that other plant could be a re-vegging plant?

I can’t tell what the dots are, pics not clear enough. I had similar white dots on some clones I picked up from a dispensary, bag seed plants in my other tent started getting them too.  
Turned out to be what looked to me like spider mites on the underside of the leaves. I could barely see em until I looked through my little pocket microscope.
