Hello, I’m seeking assistance in identifying the source of my plants’ issues and any suggested solutions. The grow is hydroponic, pH around 5.8, light schedule is 18/6, with 2 fans, and the plants are in the beginning o flowering stage. From the beginning of the grow, besides basic nutrients, they have been receiving CalMag. The problem started with spot discolorations on the leaves (light spots), but I’ve noticed it’s getting worse. The spots are getting larger, leaves are curling and browning at the edges. Leaves haven’t been sprayed with water or solution. Additionally, bugs have appeared, which I also show in the photo. I thought it might be a magnesium and/or calcium deficiency, but they have been getting CalMag from the start. Another suspicion was a zinc or molybdenum deficiency. However, I’m increasingly thinking the issue might be due to the bugs. I have a yellow sticky trap for insects, but there’s nothing on it.
What's happening with my plants?

The white spots on the leafs look like they are from mites. Do what thumper60 says. I think he's right.

I'd be looking for webbing. Wow pretty bad infestation.
