Plant has tiny yellow marks on leaves and found some webbing on the bottom of the grow tent, could this be a sign of spider mites or another bug?

Regardless of it being spider mites u have some sort of pest, and with there been web doesn't take much in the way of process of elim. You are gonna want to go over your plant. Wipe down the backs of leafs where you can't see eggs with neem oil. An organic foiler spray to be able to spray over your plant without hurting the bud, look for 1s that are used in the production of crops, fruits. Also, make it harder for them little f....s to move around remove all their webs, take any easy cross points like leafs from 1 node reaching over to another. Make it so they have to move across nodes and open spaces on the ground and have bug traps like the yellow double sticky bug catchers that any DIY/gardenware place sells. You can cut little strips and place them inbetween your bud sites attach some to the underside of your leafs up and down the stem after you removed their little web bridges. Also peppermint oil, drives them mad and will have them constantly rubbing and making 'em crazy giving your plant a break. Start laying down the sticky bits wherever you see they use to cross. Also check out your tent? How did they get it? Cover up areas where ducting comes in or wires. Lace it also with peppermint oil and you can even drop little cottonballs with it onon it around your tent. Good luck.

give your soil as a solution of mosquito bits and spider mites, then spray your leaves with neem oil, the problem will go away, I suggest you disinfect your tent.

I agree with Benzels, that does look like mite eggs. you should see some adults/nymphs close by. keep looking and get ready for treatment. The webbing in the tent maybe from a different spider that is not a plant parasite but a predator. Best Of Luck!

Damage on plants does suggest mites, but they rarely sin webs outside the plants themselves. However the lil white dots def look like mite eggs too. Id start some kind of preventative treatment now, an organic oils based spray and use it a few times to get it sorted BEFORE it becomes a prob.
