I think they might be thripes but all the pictures of thripes look bigger than what I have and I don't see any holes from them eating the leaves. First I noticed some purple on the leaves and thought it was nute or pH issue but then I looked closer saw the bugs. When I sprayed neem on the leaves, the purple washed off, I think it might be the bugs poop or eggs. The neem is slowing them down but not killing all of them I guess I should try spinosad?
