THE LITTLE WHITE DOTS ARE BENEFICIAL INSECTS THAT I JUST DEPOSITED. but I’m wondering if the damage looks like it’s from pests or bacteria?? I have this guy in semi-hydro under a grow light for 12 hours per day. There’s a humidifier in the room.  
What is the damage from you think?

I hate to say this since you just doled out Beneficials. But the 2nd and 3rd pic look like maybe fungal infection

I’d rather that than pests!!! Was terrified it may be thrips
