Under leaves are clean. Plant is just a seedling.It might be some kind of pest attacking your leaves. Have you done a loop inspection of the underside of this leaf? Look very closely for thrips and spider mites especially...

eliminating spider mites
I have tried several things here and there nothing seems to hold the mites off for long. Is this something that needs to be continually done like spraying every 3 days or so? I as m new to this, looking for a little bit of advice. Thanks in advance!www.thcfarmer.com
At first glance it looks like thrip damage to me...
Check the undersides of the leaves closely.
Also more info needed:
-grow medium.... Pro mix
-fertilizer used and frequency... Masterblend few weeks ago
-any pest sprays in use.... No
-environment details.... Humidity 50, 29 to 31c during day, night 27c.
Seedlings aren’t impervious to pests btw...Under leaves are clean. Plant is just a seedling.
Thanks will tryOk, so with them being outside I’m going to strongly advise you to pick up a few pesticides to use.
Consider the Bees before you spray anything.
i use “plant therapy” and “neem oil” on my outdoor garden. As far as I know both of these are safe for bees but will kill the mites or thrips you seem to have there.
Best practice is to establish an IPM (integrated pest management ) procedure where you are spraying the plant at least once a week. Best to do 2x.
doing this across your whole garden will prevent infestation in the future.
once you have a pesticide product, spray 3x in one week to knockdown the population and then start your IPM routine.
Never spray in direct light.
ps- this applies to indoor gardening as well.
