Browning and a bit patchy this is only my second grow so I still have a lot to learn but I noticed dozens of tiny white bugs less the 1mm in length moving about on all of the leaves

The light is too bright in the pictures. Can you turn your lights off and take a picture with the flash on

Also if you touch the white bugs what do they do?

They move I think I may have identified them as aphids I'm reading online that ladybirds love to eat them

They do not look like aphids. They look like Thirps but need to get a good look at a fan leaf to confirm

Bug looks like thrip to me also.
Damage looks like spider mites IMO.
Thrips love eating spider mites....

What would I use to get rid of them without damaging my flowers I'm in week 5 of flower the look healthy however fan leaves don't look so good

Personally I'd just let them finish. Trim carefully. I wouldn't spray anything. Maybe do ladybugs.

I have a bottle of this I was going to spray on the leaves but if you think they will be fine to see out the last 4/5 weeks I won't bother. I have clones and seedlings veging currently so I will give the full tent a proper clean down before the next run

I wouldn't spray. The buds will taste bad or burn funny. I think the leaves will pay the price. But the bud should be fine. I stop spraying no later than 18 days into flower. Then it's in the lords hands.
