Calcium deficiency?

Bunch of Ice clones have these tiny spots all over the tops of the leaves. I don't see any critters underneath or elsewhere.... possible heat issue also?

Looks like either spider mites or thrips to me.

Spider Mites:

Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Right now the population may be small and they haven’t set up “camp” yet. Both are fairly easy to control if you get them early…..

I would expect something more like this with a calcium deficiency though it does get spotted also like your picture but usually has brown spots or yellow in it somewhere:

Yep! Right you are. Earlier, I flushed a thrip off the stem of one
Rinsed all of them off in the tub. Fucking bugs! Just part of the reason I don't usually grow during the hot months. This is going to be a battle.

I was suspecting a Cal deficiency just because I usually add limestone to my perpetually repurposed soil, but didn't bother this time.

If you are late in flower you may want to consider something other than sprays:

Thanks OJ! I'm good, only the one pictured is far along. The rest are just getting started, with just a few pistils showing atm

I've used a bunch of things for thrips outdoors and the only thing that knocks them right down for me is Doctor Zymes
