These yellow spots appeared yesterday after putting some more soil around the top and watering. While doing that I accidentally tore a leaf where the yellow damage is. It seems there are some spiders (not spider mites I think!) as well. Not entirely sure what the issue is. I watered 1L. Could it be leaf burn?

Looks like mites are starting up. After lights out, hit it with Neem and follow up after it dries with Captain Jack.

If it's any consolation, I grow outside. There are ALWAYS mites on my plants. The best I can do is control / contain.
 
Any links on more info?

A little bit of preventive maintenance does a lot to keep things in check. Once you get your Captain Jack, apply it once a week no matter what all the way to harvest, and spot treat mid week in between with some neem or some Dr Bronner Soap if you see any bugs on the plant. Cap Jack isn't a contact killer, it's a bacteria called spinosad, safe to humans, poisonous to bugs but only if they eat some of your plant. Youre still subject to swarming (weather related pest events) and bugs can still lay eggs so it's only part of your management, not the whole solution. Best approach is to think about layers of protection and the more layers you put in place the less bugs are getting to your plant.

Mites are particularly problematic for cannabis because they're so small and often position themselves unseen, laying the groundwork to colonize and once they're on your plant and colonizing, they're usually on it until the end and all you can do is control the numbers.

couple soak downs with isopropyl will kill all the stages of mites/eggs,..
 
Here are some magnified pics of spider mites so you know what they look like. These are from my greenhouse grow this past summer.
