Looks like some spider mites and nutrient issues, can you give us some background? indoor/outdoor/lights/nutes/soil.. the more the better

Edit: looks like Potassium deficiency.

Check your ph it may be nutrient lockout due to poor ph.

The leaves with the little spots look like splattered paint is likely spider mites.

I've never used ladybugs for mites, but would have my doubts. I have used predator mites, and that was a waste of time. I now use the No Pest Strip (Hot Shot, various names) . Three days to kill the adults and three days to kill hatched eggs (a week total), then take it out, write the date on it, and put it in a sturdy ziplock bag for re-use.

Your ph should be at about 6.5 for soil. I would look under some of the leaves to see if you have any bugs lurking around. If not start watering with water and a small amount of clearex, I know its supposed to be for hydro, but it will help leach the excess salt buildup. You should be adjusting the ph of your water BEFORE you water the plants.
