SOS! Little white spots now on all plants not just one, pics included

Hi, i'm really new to this, its my first grow ever. I had little white spots on one of my lsd plants, its now spread to all of them, but doesn't seem to be on the pineapple chunks, any ideas? i'm using 1.8ec and 6.3ph and i'm in the second week of flowering. 14 plants total.


Thanks for any feedback

looks like spider mites. get something i use rasta bobs death might. pretty awesome results so far. they will suck the moisture right out of those plants.
 
I'll be checking under the leaves tonight with a magnifying glass to look for the bugs, but don't u guys find it strange that only the 9 lsds and not the 5 pineapple chunks are infested if thats what it is?
 
what also maybe helpful to know, it got really hot in the grow room, somehow the 8" exractor fan had blow off the ducting the other side of the room and I hadn't noticed and it got reall hot for a week or so, but cooled right down once i fixed it and added another osculating fan, also the plants had been suffereing a little bit from heat damage at the top and the leaves are a little frazzled, tiny and limp up there, but i've raised the lights as high as there go now, running 4x 600w lights in a room about 2mtr wide by about 5 metres long.

mix some dish soap with cool water in a spray bottle . Spray the plants well making sure to get the undersides of the leaves well . Do this every two to three days for about four applications. Hippies have been doing it this ways for many years. I started doing this with new clones just as a habbit and I have not had any mites for four straight harvests.
 
waiting for my mate to come round with the magnifying glass, but i've had a look with the naked eye and i've seen them, not spotted many, only on 3 leaves outta the thousand odd, but i know i'll see loads more under the scope as nearly every leaf is damaged, little white looking insects. what is the absolute best solution to this? I'll give the washing up liquid and water a go if u guys think thats better than any other option, as i said i'm 2 weeks into no white hairs yet, but i want to get this sorted before bud start forming and it starts wiping it out. I don't know a lot, as i said its my first grow and I have very limited knowledge, whats the chances i'm gonna loose the whole lot and the mites will eat everything? i'm really stressing right now and invested my last pennys into this grow!

If your not flowering cover the pot with something so the soil stays in flip the plant upside down and dunk it in a bucket of water until those bastards drown.

According to the sheet you posted its a minimal health hazard. I does not leave a residue. If it does prove it! Instead of dissing my statements dig up more info.
