Probably in the genetics. Have had those on several plants with no problems. The plant should grow out of it in time.

If your plant looks a little sick along with these white spots check on the underside the leaves very carefully and check for Spidermites. They are about half the size of a poppy seed so you need to look close or use an aid.

Get you some neem oil, and soon.
Basically, the mites live on the bottom of the leaves, and they eat the chlorophyl from the inside out. You will probably want to treat all your plants twice, and bleach your grow area. These bastards are the cockroaches of a grower's life.

do spider mites cause yellow burnish marks?

Yes, what he said. I had the same occurance, did the same treatment, and have been mite free since.
Have you taken the plants outside at all?

Nope, they've been inside the whole cycle. I've had my window open very often and sometimes I would have the door of my box open as well. I have friends who have all of their girls out in the open in their house and they haven't gotten any mites so I'm very confused on how they got in there.
So can anyone tell me how they got in there so I can prevent it in the future?
Also, how will I know when they're all gone?

I ended up buying Einstein Oil, which is made with 100% organic, first-extraction, cold pressed neem oil. I've applied it twice now and there seems to be much fewer mites if any at all.

you can battle with them for months as i did.. or just a week , by using the ONLY solution ive found to WORK.
and its the easiest...
go to lowes and get HOTSHOT pest strips... they look like white air freshner things that plug into a wall, and they come in a blue pacakge... put 1 or 2 in your grow room.
they are sentless, and they kill ALL BUGS and DONT HURT PLANTS.
I used a spray also, but the spray was not working... and these HOTSHOTS did, and still do.
i leave 1 in my grow room for safe keeping... and NO BUGS EVER COME BACK.
Please listen to me... its so easy, everything else is hard, hurts plants, and doenst work.
