tiny white spots on my leaves. Lockout or toxicity?

[Mr.Bitti]

first off i have no ph/ec meter right now. i was just using promix with gh flora at 8/14 micro/bloom about twice a week. After a few weeks im getting white spots like sprinkled salt within the leaves(not mildew, or mites) its inside the leaf. all i can do right now is flush but im thinking its got to be either a ph imbalance or lockout from salt buildup. I dont have any pics so i just wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem before? and if they managed to pin it to ph or too high ppm? thanks and +rep in advanced to any replies! have a great day

Could be mite damage.

start looking under the leaves for mites...

Maybe you should use a magnifying tool and look for spider mites. White dots are usually a very good sign that your crop is infested

 

[Mr.Bitti]

couldn't see any with my bare eyes so im getting a magnifier today. Also im about done with flowering only 2 weeks left, anyone got some recomendations for a spray this late into flowering. i usually use neem but never after a few weeks of flowering.

try and get some pics, it could be anything

How did it go with the magnifyer?

 

[Mr.Bitti]

turned out it was mites although i never actually saw them i did find the eggs. treated with neem and it seems t be working older girls close to being done werent touched. you think it will hurt them too much in 7-10 days? the damage is steady not much new damage i think the rainy weekend took care of that anyways thanks to all!

Mites are so hard to get rid off. You have to apply the neem oil regularly at 5 day intervals. I applied for 1 week, left it... Week later more mites! Neem oil doesn't kill the eggs, you have to spray the ones that are hatched, then wait 5 days for any of the left eggs to hatch and re apply, the newly hatched mites can't breed in time. Then again for precaution. Trust me, do this as early as you can, had some real problems going into flowering. Do it once and do it thoroughly, those mites are tough. If i had 10 days left I wouldn't bother doing anything, let the plant ride it out, doesn't seem to be a nasty infestation.
