Small, white spots on tops of leaves

Howdy all.....would like some more experienced eyes to help me decide if I have a problem or if this is normal (or if I'm just over analyzing)

I'm growing in FFOF using Cyco nutrients (just started using nutes at half strength a week ago.)

In week 7 of veg - plan on flipping to flower this weekend.

I've noticed some seemingly random, small white spots on the tops of a lot of my fan leaves. I can't find anything on the bottom of leaves. I don't have a microscope but been using my iPhone camera zoomed all the way in and it seems to get pretty damn close. Here are a couple O' pics to show what I'm talking about. The last pic is just a general shot of the garden since I think it is pretty :)

Does this look like a pest issue? Or maybe some Trichomes showing up? I have been using a light neem spray about once a week as a preventative.

Could be dust or anything doesn't look like any issue eggs are usually undersides of the leaf so i don't think they are eggs just give em a spray down to get rid of any dust.

Thanks for the input all .

I found a leaf that had more or these spots and got a better picture. Still think this is no issue? I don't see any bugs and all the undersides look good

It doesn't look like anything you need to worry about. It could be dust or some other particulates from the surrounding environment. Are they really spots, or can you wipe it off with your finger? It's hard to tell from the pics.

Looks like so kind of a residue. Do you spray you plant? Foliar feed them? Powdery mildew perhaps? I get this when I foliar feed them Epsom salt . Wash them down and see if it goes away or comes back.

I spray them down with Neem every week or two but that's it.

Spots don't seem to come off when I rub (for the most part). Could they be trichomes or something?

might be tiny little burn holes from heat/light and moisture on the leaves if you spray them

you get little white dots/spots with spider mites
but im sure you would have lots more leaves with dots if it were mites
plants look nice n healthy

peace

I thought mites 2 but when I had mites was more of rust coloured spots easy enough to cheak get a scope there invaluable I got a 60x portable scope for 4 dollars has a blue light and a white light its for counterfeit money cheaking but works well for plants

Yes they could be I have had plants that have done this but only because it was supper stressed out. Cannabis reacts to out side danger by making tricomes to protect the plant. Look at the leaf side ways do they look like tricomes?

did you ever discover what it was or did it get any worse or affect plant growth? My plant has this issue at the momentbut not as many spots
