Help with little specks on leaves

This is black sugar from seedsman, it is definitely nute sensitive, not really tripping on the tips. Honestly I'm not tripping on this specks, just wondering if anyone knows the cause

It looks like spider mites are snacking on your plants.

Yup, mites!

Wow checked pictures online, that's quite saddening. I guess when i get up I'll have to thoroughly check. Thanks for the heads up

Oh fuck.

Got a dilution ratio?

I'm just gonna dunk whole plants in ghost pepper/reaper chili water, if that doesn't work. pyrethrum dunk. If that don't work, I'll let em go see how bad it can get, trash.

Definitely mites, just had a go around with those nasty critters

I'm thinking thrips it looks similar to thrip damage I just haven't seen it that bad before those are so early in flower I would personally throw that away and start over with that much damage

Yeah that's totally thrips I'm not sure why those guys said mites after seeing that closeup it's definitely thrips. It's not a crop ending bug but when it's that bad that early I personally toss them. I had thrips last crop pretty much got rid of them before flower but they came back. It was about half as bad as yours and happened later in flower and my buds still turned out real small. The thrips really just stop bud growth but they still get nice and frosty

@xtsho
I wanna thank you guys, Ryan I'm gonna go ahead and dunk them twice, if they don't get better I'ma just toss them as per your advice.

thanks again, everyone who has posted

I've used docktor doom fogger and haven't seen them for a few days. wouldn't recommend if they have buds formed. and If you go that route lay the can on its side so it doesn't directly spray the plants. I killed a few branches from it

I'ma spray spinosad, then 1 hour later I'm going to dip whole plant and pot in pyrethrum mix, then an hour later I'm going to dip in straight water, if this hurts the population and doesn't hurt my buds, I'll continue the grow otherwise I'ma just trash them

Took a closer look and see what you're talking about. It's also possible to have thrips and spider mites. Thrips are relatively easy to get rid of in comparison to spider mites.
