Could be spider mites? Treat immediately and aggressively.

Check for fine webs where the leaf meets the leaf stem and on the leaf front/back. Then, it’s spider mites.

Do those specs move or can you brush them off easily? In this pic it almost looks like dirt.

It was kind of stuck on. I wiped them off with a qtip. And when I did the qtip turned red

That could indicate they are mealy bugs, but they are usually white/whiteish. I don’t know much about them, though
