Tiny black dots

So I changed out my res today and added the new nutris and noticed on the underside of a few leafs of one of the babies are tiny black dots. I tried to pick them off with my finger to see if they would move or do anaything but nothing. Does anyone know what this is? The other plant does not have this and is doing good so far but I am worried it might be something that can spread. I am limited on space and cant really seperate them so I need to get this under control before its too bad. There is nothing really wrong with the plant besides these tiny black dots, there are maybe 5 dots total on 3 leafs. I will try to post a pic of them later on if it will help. I was thinking about just pruning them off but dont know.

It sounds like spider mite to me but would need a pic.
I would wipe the leaves down with a single drop of dish soap in some water.
Get some Neem oil.

I have had spider mites before when I used to do soil and this does not look like that. If it was shit wouldnt it move or smear if I rubbed it? I wont be able to get any neen til the weekend. The only grow stores are like an hour plus away from me. With the dish soap, what kind is best? I have palmolive I think under the kitchen sink.

Ill take some pics tonight when I get home from work so you can take a look. There are no webs or yellow spots that I can see but I have not looked under a scope. Maybe ill take a leaf to work and look under a scope to see what I see magnified.

Yeah, me too... looks like minor damage to the tissue (a tear) that allowed some of the plant juices to ooze out. Had this happen & sometimes it dries to a purplish color, hard dot.

But generally, when I hear black dots... 9/10 times, that is thrip shit, which I didn't see in the pics.

I have not ever grown this strain, im not even sure what strain it is, bag seeds. I picked up some neem oil as a precaution. It would not do any harm applying it would it? Its for organic gardening and safe up until day of harvest according to the label.
