Black dots on leaves. I finished the internet and nothing!!

Anyone ever have this issue? I usually do my own research, and after hours of searching and finishing the internet, I found ONE picture that looks exactly like the issue I'm having. Here is the picture I found. Appears to be from 420magazine with no explanation.




And here are mine.

AND some bugs. Maybe thrips? All the pics I have seen with thrips do not have the black dots. Bug shit? Maybe I have two separate issues going on.

You may have mites too, but I'm still a rookie so don't take my word for it.

I have had similar black dots on a couple of my ladies leaves early on. But seriously like one or 2 per leaf. I sprayed neem oil and basically treated it like a flea and made sure if it was alive it wouldn't be when I was done.

Didn't have an issue after that.


I have not a clue what they are.
