The lil' bastards are the size of a piece of pepper or even smaller. Better be sure its not mites.
if you do not have a jewlers lass most likely you will not see them. untill your way past the oh shit stage,, trust me been there,,, thought that shit was heat, or furts ECT,, because my old eyes did not see the tiny specks under the leaves...
good luck.. once you confirm your borg.. look around lots of mite threads,,'
first thing while you sort out what method you want to try.. shower the bitches down, ya ,, upside down in the shower every few days will major ly help..

U guys might be right, I checked once again with a mag.glass, there are some tiny black dots here and there, they don't move though. I'll spray the plant with garlic tea
p.s. these black dots seem to be glued to the leaf, I tried to wipe em off, but they just remain in the same place. I tried harder but then I damaged the leaf

you don't have mites...you have thrips.
Thrips leave the silvery white patches you are seeing and they also leave behind their fecal matter which is the black dots you are seeing.
For thrips there is a great remedy...its called spinosad. Spinosad is 100% organic and can be sprayed right up until harvest if need be. The name brand that I am used to seeing is called Monteray Garden Insect Spray. Trust me...I dealt with those fuckers for over a year. I was able to get their populations down, but not completely gone no matter what I used. I found the spinosad and within 2-3 applications they were gone, and I haven't seen them since.

Shut up Black velvet!!
Do you have fungus gnats or thrips flying around? Those are flying insect bites, like gnats or thrips...not too bad a deal, but spray with neem constantly in veg and they will not reproduce...or use a more direct control like KOKua stated, something to knock their socks off.
spider mite dots are black dots, not white trails like those

The two spotted mites always left tiny white dots on my leaves. Sometimes to the point where the leaf turned white.
Thrips= black dots.
I haven't had mites in almost 10 years I think.
FUCKING RIGHT!!!!!!!
Once Thrips establish themselves they are one of the hardest insects to get rid of and if you produce your own clones off of a mother room, it can be a losing battle if discipline is not applied. They can make plants very sick and then the other bugs and mildew can take over easily.
I don't know of any other bug that builds up a tolerance to pesticides as quickly as a thrip. We were calling them super bugs in these parts.

Thrip larvae don't fly. 
I just said look at the undersides. The damage is called stippling and can be caused by either thrips or mites.

I'm telling you guys...I dealt with those fuckers forever. I tried everything organic under the sun including beneficials. I added it up, over $250 spent trying to get rid of thrips. I always kept them beat back, but never was able to totally eliminate...until I found spinosad. Trust me fellas, for thrips there is no other control. After 3 applications of spinosad...I haven't seen a thrip since. And honestly, I could care less if they came back, because I have a control that is 100% effective everytime.

I went through all you are saying too. I did however finish them off once and for all but I found a few lately because of a clone shortage. I usually 100% self contained for my clones.
I will check out that product if I can find it. I never want to go through all that again.
