Spider mites?

[chowderhead]

Hi all, wondering if these spots on the tops of my leafs are spider mites or could they be something else? I'm not finding the little black mites underneath nor signs of webs.

You won't see webs right away but it could be mold or thrips

Mine looked just like that with spider mites and webs came soon after, used neem oil and they went away quick

Dont use neem oil on your buds!
ISO 50/50 with water, spray the under side first, then the top and soak 'em good! The alcohol kills the adults on contact, then eggs hatch so it has to be repeated every 2-3 days (no more than 3 days or you have new eggs), and at least 3 treatments then watch close for new signs. Also turn the lights off until dry, or near sunset for outdoor. You can also use spinosad, said to be safe to harvest, same directions, same results, more cost.
For outdoor the best is ladybugs.

I can attest to the alcohol/water method. It works but be absolutely certain to do it and do not put them under the lights (or bright sun) until it is all dry.

Certainly looks like it to me. As the other folks said, don't have the lights on until it is dry. 3rd times a charm, right?

Bugs for sure
