White Flies or Spider Mites or Combo w/ Nutrient Burn? (New High-Res Pics)

I posted earlier with low-res pics. I now have better pics.

Problems: Small yellow spots, holes in leaves, damaged leaves (either munched my pest or burned by nuits)

Location: both veg and bloom rooms

Background: I've been battling white flies for a few weeks. I've sprayed Azatrol in 7 day increments and I've used a bug-bomb in the veg room.

I haven't determined if the holes and damage are from nutrient burn or Azatrol burn?? Or, if they're from spider mites or something else?

What is confusing me is that none of the leaves are showing typical signs of nutrient burn (shortened leaves, leaves that curl)...

I've spent a lot of time inspecting with a microscope. I cannot find any traces of spider mites, so the yellow spots seems to be from the white flies. But what about the holes and other suspect leaf damage?

Thanks in advance for any help~

I think I replied to your last topic too. They definitely are better photos, but I still think you're overly concerned :).

My EJ foliar feed causes a similar speckled look on the leaves and it doesn't seem to do any harm.

I,d be looking at the underside of those leaves with a loupe to be sure it's not spider mites . It looks like them .
 
Thx y'all. Definitely not spider mites (gratefully). I finally figured it out. My Ph was at 7.1! I'm using Canna products with Coco, so I didn't even think to check the Ph, as all the Canna products come pre-buffered at 5.5-6.2.

What I've noticed is that the Ph goes up as the nuits sit in the reservoir....Also, I'm using hydroton on the outside of the fabric pot, but inside the ebb and grow pot - hydroton makes the Ph go up!
