Looks like your plants caught some hitch hikers! If you can, pick up some Amazing Dr. Zymes. It will take out any pest or fungus that shows up in the future, as well as whatever is chomping on your plants. If the price is too steep for you at the moment, find a couple of cigarettes, tear them up and soak them in isopropyl alcohol for an hour or two. Then, put it in a spray bottle and fill it up with water. Finally, soak your plants, top and bottom of leaves! Leave no leaf unturned. I hope this helps.

And btw, the white spots are where they've already eaten....

There is NO question you have insects eating away at your plant and it doesn't matter if you can't see them or really even what kind they are! Get some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad and follow the directions - both are organic and both can be used up to the day of harvest ... because they don't need to be munching away and they'll only do more and more damage.... Good luck!

the interesting thing, under the leaves are clean.. last grow there was some dirty-white/almost cream colored things appear under the leaves and I sprayed them with a blue crystal chemical and they disappear in 2 days! I've tried them neem-oil but didnt work. this spray worked nice. I may try it again with potassium soap.. dont know what else to do. there is nothing around like insect or under leaves. only those white dots on leaves..

It's spider mites, check under the leaves :) i usually spray neem oil and sorbate potassium (both BIO) and sometimes ladybugs :) In vegetative stage you can try spray garlic too :) smells bad ahahah but it worked for me

Hi there To me it looks like mites or thrips, Treat with Dr Zymes eliminator and quickly.. make sure you spray under the leaves too.. Whether it be powdery mildew or bugs this should help 👍 Best of luck 🌱
