Why do a couple leaves have white dots on them?

OK here's my question, what would cause little white dots to appear on a couple leaves? When I Google this I get tons of hits about spider mites. I have however used my 30x magnifying glass I use to inspect Trichomes to look at the underside of the effected leaves and I see no sign of mites. Is this a bug problem or something else? If it is indeed spider mites how do I get rid of them without insecticides? Does Dr Bonners soap work?

If its spider mites u have a task ahead of u and i wish u all the best.

To me it looks like thrip damage.

Check the lower leaves and around the top of the medium.

Keep a good eye out.

Pic isnt the best. Sorry pal.

Good luck

could be calcium def spotting. or slight nute burn. wouldnt chalk it up right to pests.

No chance you simply nute burned them w/ a splash/spray is there?

I'd hit them with some safer 3in1 or some neem just in case tho....
