Leaves looking weird

im on week 3 of flower, and ive been noticing these specks on the leaves, im growing in organic soil, feeding only guano teas.

any suggestions?

The colour and appearance of the 'specks' is highly important to determine the issue.

Can you provide pics (or at minimum describe the specks in more detail)?

had forgot to upload em,

Maybe just give water for a little bit..

Almost looks like thrip damage but I'm no expert by any means.

I'm thinking thrips and or spider mites. Look under the leaves and see if you see anything abnormal.

Thrips.. Check under leaves

What are thrips and how do I get rid of them?

Thrips are small insects that move very fast. You can see them without magnification, but usually you notice the speckled silverish damage on the leaves. Monterey with spinosad works very well in my opinion. Mix as instructed on the bottle, use a pressure sprayer unless you only have a couple small plants then you could just use a hand spray bottle (I strongly recommend a pressure sprayer). Spray 3x 4 to 5 days apart. I've had greAt success with this product. I started a neem oil regime at the beginning of veg, that worked pretty well. After about 7 to 10 days thrips came back so I tried Spinosad and so far I haven't seen hardly any thrips. Spinosad also works on many other leaf suckers. But as always do some reading about it and get other opinions. Good luck. I wouldn't worry about them too much, you can keep them in check.

thanks ill go look for some at my local garden supply.

this is what i picked up. but after carefully examining the leaves both on top and under, i cant seem to find any bugs . not one pest in sight.
