Should I be concerned?

Growing in soil. A couple leaves showing discoloration towards the tips. The white specs on the back of the leaves are microscopic. Had a minor fungus gnat infestation that is under control. Besides the minor leaf damage on a couple leaves, the plants look healthy to me (a few weeks in veg).

Anyone have any thoughts on what the white specs are and what might have caused the leaf damage?

Small White dots could mean spider mites look for them under the bottom leafs they are tiny I killed some with fly/mosquito spray this year it also killed the earlier white flies very quickly. I hope it's nothing but it's better to get rid of any spider mites now before they start breeding. The cold also helps to keep the numbers down

Okay let me try this again....

I appreciate all of the responses...... I'm a novice grower. Spider mites devastated my last indoor grow a few years ago. I'm better prepared this time. The fight is on !!

Spinosad is what helped me. I had to throw out the 3 plants in the flower tent cause they got fucked proper, but spraying spinosad in veg tent every other day for basically a month and I haven't seen a single one since. I had the little red ones though not the white ones.

Agent - Thanks for the response ! I'm glad you got a handle on your problem. I have spinosad and I have neem oil, as well. I think I'll start by spraying with the spinosad. I also have some neem cake. I'm thinking about crushing the pellets into powder and spreading on top of the soil.

Np bro! I have never used neem, but have heard it works well. I definitely think having stuff on top of the soil helps with bugs, I have been using lava rock from the hardware store. I didn't actually have any on the plants when I got hit, so now I've been making sure I have some.
