White speckled spots on ur leafs is mites..cant see the plants to good to diagnose.....take a leaf off that looks like it has alot of spots or is one of the unhealthier leafs flip it over and use your scope should see either eggs or spider mites if it is them.

If its spider mites u can watch them walk they look like a tic and spidermites dont bite holes in leafs like that they suck the life out of it until the leaf dies and falls off the they move on

U could have another pest on ur hands
Maybe thrips. Idk show us a picture of an infected leaf that you describe if you want further help. Now were just guessing, for all I know it could be scorpions
Agreed. This looks absolutely nothing like a mite issue.

If you see eggs I suggest you spray them with neem oil! Its organic from the neem tree and it should stop the eggs from hatching becasue it messes with there hormones or something.
Read this:
Neem oil has many complex active ingredients. Rather than being simple poisons, those ingredients are similar to the hormones that insects produce. Insects take up the neem oil ingredients just like natural hormones.
Neem enters the system and blocks the real hormones from working properly. Insects "forget" to eat, to mate, or they stop laying eggs. Some forget that they can fly. If eggs are produced they don't hatch, or the larvae don't moult.
Obviously insects that are too confused to eat or breed will not survive. The population eventually plummets, and they disappear. The cycle is broken.
How precisely it works is difficult for scientists to find out. There are too many different active substances in neem oil, and every insect species reacts differently to neem insecticide.
Neem oil does not hurt beneficial insects. Only chewing and sucking insects are affected.

if it is only one plant and you are 100% sure it is bugs i would carefully remove it from the grow room and dispose of it properly. It looks like it is terribly stunted and in bad shape. Even if you do solve the problem it will be hard for it to bounce back. Save yourself a huge infestation and take care of the problem while it is small.
