potassium? the speckles look similiar to ozone burn but it is only on the yellowing leaves and there is nothing in there producing ozone :/ mg deficiency maybe?

Yellowing leaves can also be do to ph fluctuation. Have you added any nutrients lately. I use a organic mix that has enough nuts to get by with timed transplants but there are times were I have to add a little bit of nuts depending on strain after a couple of weeks in flower some strains start suckin up nutrients quick.

ye i added in some grow nutes b/c i didnt have any flowering ones :/ but its odd with the speckles their appearing over all my leaves and their not crystals its like dots on my leaves...also younger leaves are starting to turn now, recently ive been adding molasses for the budz but ithought it could be a nute issue so i gave it sum more but the problem still worsens im gunna flush it and text the ph of the water not sure what else i can do for the moment :/

ok so i figured out half the issue after some research hehe, umm the dots are spider mites i cut off a leaf with the dots and put it under a microscope and found the little BUGGERS!

unfortunately i am still left with a yellowing issue with my leaves where young leaves and more so older leaves are fading yellow and dying :/

it is my girls 4.5 week of flowering and i know some discolouration will occur b/c of previous grows but this yellowing seems unnatural and erratic so i was thinking some sort of deficiency :(
 
the mites themselves cause some leaf yellowing. It kind of starts at the edges, and works its way inward, or it starts with the "lines" in the leaves, I see just a couple leaves that are doing this. The others, with the splotchy yellow and the burned spots, this looks like nute lock out and/or burn of some kind.... alot of your green leaves have burnt tips, this indicates way over nuteing. I would flush with water 3x as much water as soil... i.e. 5 gallon pot, use 15 gallons of water. Make sure all the water is PH'd between 6.0-6.5, and on the last 3 or so gallons add 2tbl liquid bone meal per gallon. Don't feed them or water them again till they are totally ready but not drooping. It should work out, but only if you get the nutes on track after the flush....

yeah totally 100% the spider mites its a huge infestation that has spread throughout the plant i am heavly misting 3x a day to combat them but they have alrdy caused significant dmg, are their any friendly pesticides anyone could recommend for combating these .5 mm b@sterds
 
azitrol, use it in 3 then 4 day cycles, for example, every sunday and thursday. Mix it with 3-5 drops of Dr. Brenners papermint castile soap. Azitrol is a consintrated neem seed oil, neem seeds are food in the far east, and Azitrol is Organic. Mites in my area are resistant to pyrethium, and to regular neem. use it for a good month or more after u see the last sign of them on new growth. u can use azitrol till 2 days b4 harvest they say. trust me, you want to beat this now and be done. they will decrease yeild.

i got this product callers SAFER's END-ALL which kills mites and is safe to use on edible crops up to the day before harvest so will see how that goes
 
I'm using Doktor Doom, it's a good choice for kill on contact and then I'm using Einstein Neem Oil to prevent them from coming back. I also took two wet sponges and wiped the top and bottom of every leave to get rid of some. I noticed white marks on top of leaves, that's how I knew something was wrong. But try this it should help. :)
