i think i might have spider mites. i throw my plants outside everyday for a few hours to get some natual sunlight, so this might be where i picked them up. i'm posting some pics so everyone can look and see.

i did some quick researched and think it's either spider mites or a potassium definciny. thanks everyone.

maybe or white flies take that leaf off the plant look at the underside if u c eggs or anything moving spray " end all " solution at half stregth once a week 2 or 3 times to get rid of them and do it in the dark cycle u dont want to do it when lights are on or the chemical will burn the leafs
 
You have something for sure. Mites are really hard to see at .4 mm like 1/64 of an inch. Those yellow spots don't look like a deficiency. Use azatrol like 3 times in a week. Potassium is much larger spots. Azatrol would be a safer alternative and it is good to apply to healthy plants anyways.

It looks like those awful lil' mites! I'd take her in and shower her off real good with water. It's great if you can do it in a shower with a removable shower head! Then you can make a simple solution of soap and water and spray the hell outta her (the soap will not hurt the plant) I hear "real" soap works best but I've seen people use simple dish soap and it worked wonders!! Kills those lil buggers dead!! Good luck, I hope this helps!!

I also heard that Hotshot no-pest strips work awesome. I have never used tho! They cost about $8 at any hardware store. It's not a sticky strip like fly paper but rather a strip that emits an insecticide.
