Yup, I sure do! You've got some insects that you need to get rid of NOW... I had the exact same thing with my FastBuds grow - if you take a look at the photos in my diary - zoom in on them - you'll see they're exactly the same. Get yourself some Dr. Zymes Eliminator and mix it for medium infestation (about 3tsp per 2 cups of water) and spray top and bottom of the leaves as well as the stems and branches - do this just before lights out ... You'll need to do it for 3 days in a row mixing a fresh batch every day. This stuff is organic and can be used right up to the day of harvest. Once I got the infestation under control, I put my ladies on a preventative spray once a week and haven't seen any more little white dots on the newer leaves... Don't ask me what bugs they were - I haven't the foggiest idea nor did I ever actually SEE them but the Dr. Zymes did the trick and my ladies are happy campers now... Good luck!

High Dutchhobby, Ik raad het aan om Neem olie te gebruiken. Ik gebruik zelf deze altijd daar zit gelijk een emulgator in zodat het goed mengt met het water. Het is 100% biologische en kost maar €10 inclusief verzendkosten voor 100ml daar kan je heel wat insecten mee dood maken. Hier is de link: https://www.berivita.com/neemolie_met_emulgator_mix_water#:~:text=U%20hoeft%20alleen%20maar%20water,met%203%25%20Neemolie%20in%20water. Maak een 3% oplossing met water en spray de bladeren (boven en onder) in met dit spul. Ongeveer een week lang elke andere dag en dan zijn de insecten dood. Je kan dit spul ook perfect gebruiken als je last hebt van beestjes in de grond die je wortels kapot maken. Dan geef je gewoon een 3% oplossing zoals je normaal water geeft. Hetzelfde resultaat binnen een weekje! Succes man! 😋

These are NOT chewing insects - and BT only works on that kind of bug (catepillars, worms, leaf hoppers etc) - they take one bite, decide to eat elsewhere and are dead within a couple of hours anyway... these are sucking insects which need a different solution.... And please, also do not fall into the neem oil trap (not that anyone has suggested it so far!) ... it's not very effective in my experience and can't be used during flower...

Get yourself some BT spray and you'll be good to go. BT is a bacteria that once pests consume it, it kills them. But, it won't do anything to your plants, no matter how old they are. The white spots are where some pests are nibbling at your leaves. I hope this helps.

This is looking a lot like thrips or spider mites to me. I would verify what bug it is and treat the plant asap. Given that it is still in veg it would be best to use a heavy hitter chemical treatment as it will be long gone by the time you enter flower and has a good death rate. Other options that I have used in the past with success are predator bugs. They will eat the bastards eating your plants. :D Check you your local grow store and ask them about them or order some online but only from places close by as they do have expiry dates.
