It looks like mites, at the start of the infestation.
Google cannabis mites.

Ok I'll look into it. I'm only a few days away from harvest and its the first time I've seen it. It was only on one fan leaf

Ok thanks! I cut it off. Any methods of precaution to take to prevent this in the future ?

I've yet to deal with them but I do know many use neem oil. I don't know about while in flower though. there's a boatload of information here to help you.
They don't look like any mites I've seen, they are NOT 2 spotted mites thats a fer sure on that.
Spinosad can be used in flower - the necrosis has me stumbled usually thats a sign of mold but those little black dots look like an insect there are many of them.
Google spinosad - it will show you whats available near you.
If they are mites you need to spray several times a few days apart. Like spray 1x daily then wait 2 days and spray again, do that for 2 weeks. Spinosad wont hurt the flowers, oils will.
The deal is to break the life cycle. if you spray 1x and kill adults the eggs hatch - you need to kill the larvae after the next hatch to keep them from getting to the adult stage to lay eggs.
Thats the idea with most insect pests. Some have many larval stages like the 2 spotted mites. Why they are hard to get rid of.
