Dreaded white spots

It started on my power OG I thought it was just a mold problem and it still could be one. I shake them and no flies, I look on the underside and since I have no way to zoom in and look closely I can not tell if there are bugs. I see little white balls. maybe 1 or two and they seem just to be dirt. like splash back from watering. There are now little white spots all over my plants, its spreading even to my little clones that just took root. I moved all my plants outside of the grow room and sprayed with soapy water and neem oil, hopefully this was just a precationary mesurement. if its a mold problem my plants should return to normal after getting some heat from the outside sun for a few days right? I dont know what to do. They are mulitpul little white dots. maybe clusters of a hundered on a few leaves, some lower and not so much on the higher leaves I have a plant completely covered in them (power og) I dont have a way to take pictures because my camara broke and im in a rush so thats why I am making many spelling mistakes. any advice would be appricated .

In my experience mold is white patches if they are small pin prick sized spots mostly on the lower part of the plant and progressively moving up the plant that would be spider mites but its hard to give a answer without pics. If it is mold using a sulphur vaporizer will prevent it from spreading any farther if it is spider mites not a lot you can do to get ride of them you can really only keep them from getting out of hand and it will be a battle. The best thing for spider mites is chopping and sterilizing everything and starting over

It's weird , they are spider mites . The crazy thing is they are only on my vegging plants, my flowering plants are uneffected. I killed the worse ones, clean cut some of the better looking ones and moved the rest outside in my green house. I will continue spraying with neem oil and soap hopefully it will kill them, along with heavy spraying with water to knock as much as I can off. Its effected 24 rooted clones. 20 seedlings and 5 clones from the club. I suspect the bastards were picked up at the club on the power og clones. I'm bummed because I just lost 200$ in plants/power along with 3 months about of loss time.

I isolate and spray azamax on ALL OUTSIDE clones. A no pest strip will knock em way back.

I works well but can't say it gets 100%. I gather there are resistant mites thus the 1-2 punch.
