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, I recommend using Neem oil. I always use this one because it already has an emulsifier in it, so it mixes well with water. It's 100% organic and only costs €10 including shipping for 100ml, which can take out quite a few insects. Here's the link: https://www.berivita.com/neemolie_met_emulgator_mix_water#:~:text=U%20hoeft%20alleen%20maar%20water,met%203%25%20Neemolie%20in%20water. Make a 3% solution with water and spray the leaves (top and bottom) with this stuff. About every other day for a week and the insects will be gone. You can also use this stuff perfectly if you have bugs in the soil that are damaging your roots. Just give a 3% solution like you normally water. Same result in about a week! Good luck 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.
