looks like spider mites to me! get a magnifying glass and look at the bottom of the leaf. i'm fighting the same battle now myself. it started on one or two leaves then spread to all three plants. i might have to chop to get rid of these for good!

It looks like mites. You need to look at the under side of the leaf with a microscope and look up Spider Mites in google, then select Images, you will easily see if its mites. Temp is the key factor. Anything above 80F and they will get nasty.

Spider Mites are the #1 killer of these plants. Take them vary seriously and treat agressively. There are about 100 threads on how to treat them in this forum. The only cure for an infestation i have found is floramite, which is pretty toxic and should only be used in veg, with yourself being totally covered up.

Good luck getting those little terrorists!

Thats mites bro. I thought it was a cal deficiency on my plant, and gave it cal mag... well now they are dying. I put a crap load of lady bugs out and some "beneficial nematodes" to attack the eggs/larvae under the dirt. Lady bugs are STILL munching away about 2 days later... :dueling:

Thanks folks for all the replies
Ita been suggested that there thrips not spider mites ?
Even tho i'm in flower i have treated with Bayer garden , pravado / ultimate bug killer http://www.bayergarden.co.uk/products/product.aspx?productid=58&categoryid=13
Claiming it's safe for use on all flowers , fruit , vegtable and herbs . killing greenfly , lily beatle , sawfly , wooly aphid , scale , whitefly , Thrips , mealy bug and leaf beatle
It's a concentrate i diluted and applied with a three litre pressure sprayer . . hoping to have hindered if not stopped them bugs
