What are these little black bugs?

I'm in my 6th week of flowering & noticed these little tiny black dots creeping around the plants. I noticed that they kind of leave a little track on the leaves & it seems like the leaves subsequently wilt. Anyone know what these are? And how to combat them?

Is the leaf discoloration related to the black spots or do you think we have two separate issues?

wipe down them leaves with tepid water and a dot of dish wash soap or hair shampoo

see if they wash off

if they do is bug shit,

if not is an issue/plant issue

I suspect it to be shit!

once dry spray with neem oil and then every week

you need to id them bugs

Look like a small beetle, possibly an aphid . . . Had something similar on my roses last year. Dam near killed all my roses before I got them under control. "Sevin spray" didn't do a dam thing to them. The Dawn soap finally killed them off.

There was a nutrient burn/ ph issue but it kinda corrected itself when I started balancing the PH of my water, but I have to think some of its a result of the bugs. I just hit them with Mighty Wash so hopefully that stops them. I might just have to wait it out since I'm already so close to Harvest

I would spray them with neam oil or a Dawn dishwashing soap mix immediately or your going to loose those plants. Also spray everything down, YOUR INFESTED MANNNN!!!
Just hit them with Mighty wash which seems to stop or at least slow them down
