I have noticed these little white spots on several of the fan leaves. I researched and everywhere I have looked suggests that it is the dreaded spider mite. I have spent a lot of time looking for the mites but I have not seen no sign of them under the leaves or anywhere no webs or nothing. I am stumped.

Do you have a pic of the under side of the leaves? It could be the start of a magnesium or potassium deficiency but it's hard to tell but lets hope its that and not mites because a def. is easier to deal with then mites.
What strain is that? Im gonna guess it has c99 or a11 in it? Or maybe a cheese?
Also, shake the plant and see if you see any flies flying around. If it's not mites,not mag. or pot. deficiency then it is prolly white flies.

I don't have any pictures of the underside. The spots go all the way through to the bottom of the leaves. My ph has been stable. I am using a 4 gallon reservoir, 0ml(grow)-40ml(micro)-80ml(bloom)/4 gal. The TDS is around 1000ppm. I change my nutrient solution every 7 days.
This is "Blue Venom" (White Widow x Blueberry) from G13 Labs.
I will try to photograph the bottom of the leaves tomorrow. I would now but my plant is sleeping. But I'll give you one of one of some flowers in the meantime.

if you have a microscope to check trichomes then cut a small piece of the leaf and check for bugs, if you don't see any then good chance it's a nut. deficiency if not go get one there cheap and the trich's are cool to check out, plus if it is bugs you'll know what bug it is and how to treat it properly for your plants phase.

I dont know about you but my eyes pick up the mites better then the eggs. I can see both, but mites are easier to see for me.

I wasn't able to get a photo of the bottom of the leaves. But, I ordered a pocket microscope with 60X - 100X magnification. I should be getting it in a day or two.
I will examine it carefully with the scope and see what I find. The problem doesn't seem to be getting any worse it still looks the same as it does in the picture I posted. I still haven't seen anything crawling around on my plant.
I changed the nutrients yesterday. Maybe it was some sort of deficiency or something. But I have never seen this before.
