I can't find bugs so they may be very small

White dots make me think spider mites. At this point I wouldn't worry about it because you'll be done before it's a problem. Confirm it by looking at the bottom of those leafs. If you have an iPhone rip the leaf off, click your side button 3 times to get into magnify mode and check them out. Easier to see their eggs, perfect little white round pearls of destruction. If you find any start treating your mothers, vegging plants etc.

If you have an iPhone the easiest way I've found is putting the iPhone on a Dixie cup with the leaf on the floor/table. Sucks trying to hold it steady without a cup.

They are very nice looking plants indeed. There is also that one web looking strand to the right of the bud in the center, but why you would have only one web I don't know, one brave spider mite bungie jumping?

The plant isn't close to done IMO it needs 3-4 more weeks
It looks like lil specs possibly mites but I cant find those spots now that i've moved the plants around
Today i tilled in a couple handfulls of Diatomaceous earth to the top soil and watered them, in case it is something hatching from the dirt or something, and added blue+yellow sticky traps

I will use a magnifier and see if i can find any mites

Could be hair

miteslay their eggs on the leafs. In flower this late there is nothing you can do really that would be worth it. Now it’s all about controlling the room in case you have plants in veg, if indeed you have mites. I would expect much more spots though

Lady bug killer and green clean also say up to harvest but I don’t like any added moisture on my buds period. You have to weigh the damage and risk of mold against a few bugs. Reality is that you trim all the bugs off anyway. They don’t go into the buds and feed on the leafs.

All i see are broken triches? You can tell by the reflection of the flash.

Maybe circle the damage and repost a pic?
