Leaf Spots (please help diagnose)

[Frankster]

I took some underside pictures of where the spots are located as well, I don't see any bugs or eggs. Very minor spotting overall and only present on a few plants, I didn't even notice it much until I was looking at a photo and did a bit more investigation. Any ideas? Diagnosis please.

It's probably mites this might be one right here, can't quite tell from the pic?

Yea, I just hit everything with a big dose of azomite actually, that's what I thought too, but no eggs or mites that I can see, no webs. Anyone else got thoughts?

Took another look you got bugs all over the place, I can't quite tell what they are but if you're lucky they'll be aphids or thrips or anything but mites!

Mites are usually smaller so you may have dodged a bullet??

I seen a flying bug, so maybe thrips? After doing the spray, I can't even find the spots anymore, even after dying, so could they have been a spot fungus or something?

Edit: looking for closer up camera.

Yes, I found them. Good I found them fairly early, taking measures now, complete clean (double clean) in progress, under leaves, trimming bottom leafs, and grow area, pics to follow.

The borg here in Seattle is un-stoppable, (especially this time of year) so only measures can be taken. I've been though this before.

Mites
Yup, your right. Alright, photo's are pretty self explanatory, Used azamax on the plants, both drenched on top in place, then removed one at a time and cleaned in the shower. Ensuring all leafs underneath got drenched, and a haircut along the bottom. Next will be placing tangle-foot along the bases.

I use the atomizer, as it does the best job. I also used a TBSP of Dr Bonners hemp pepermint castile in addition to the azamax. The floors, walls and container was cleaned with organic vinegar, same with the hood and ropes, ect...

There is a method to the madness with these buggers.

last of the clean up.

Bam! the plants are spiffy, I know I got them all very drenched under and on top. It's best to use a circular method and lift the leafs up with one hand and spray with the other. For drink I hit them with a light amount of root drench formula with liquid worm casings. I've kept the lights off while they recovered. Now going live again.

Here's how there doing today. Things look pretty good, that was a pretty meticulous in-depth cleaning. Getting some weird stretching with one plant.
