Which pests do this?

Exactly what pest does this kinda damage? I have my guess, but wanna get other growers' opinion on this type of yellowing of leaves and brown spots. 6 weeks into veg. It started very early on at bottom leaves, once I trimmed them this brown spots appeared on top growth.
Solved
Leaves. Color - Dark-brown
Other. Bugs

Hi mate, this looks like a slight lock out caused by fluctuation in water PH. Magnesium and calcium deficiencies are the first to show up. Make sure you give her water ph 6-6.5 and add a little agricultural gypsum to stabilise the substrate. good luck and happy growing

I think its a nitrogen surplus. Look at green shinyness and overprominent ridging in the leaves...

Guys, I do use Cal-mag on every watering. That's not the issue... I looked into the microscope and I think I have spidermites and wanted to get second opinion whether this type of damage is spidermites or some other pest. If this damage looks like nutrient deficiency, it's because mites are eating nutrients out of those leaves...

The "pest" is nutrient imbalance, I think you need a bit of calcium, maybe epsom salts (to lower degree), and to potentially lower ph slightly (if you do use calcium), I would recommend low levels ascorbic, citric and tartaric acids as options with that too (particularly citric acid). As usual, I can't be sure.

"Been using neem oil and insecticidal soap for a while as well, but this sort of damage persists still." These things, btw, don't necessarily have beneficial effects. They are typically negative (but used as a tradeoff, of bad vs worse). In your case, I would recommend you stop using both immediately, unless you can actually identify insect pests, yourself visibly.

It looks like either a calcium or manganese deficiency, but if you are under led and not supplementing with a calmag alike substance, Im sure it is calcium.

Leaves themselves are kind of yellow sickly color, not looking healthy green as well. Especially the top growth. Been using neem oil and insecticidal soap for a while as well, but this sort of damage persists still.
