im guessing theyre "white flies"

do they fly?..white flies look like a small white moth about 0.04 inch long...adults have wings...they first appear near the top of the weakest plant...

white flies are attracted to the color yellow so to get rid of them you cancover a bright yellow object with a sticky substance like "tanglefoot". place the traps next to the plants and discard when full

or cut all leaves with over 50% damage...and spray pyrethrum (aerolsol) applied every 5-10 days should do the trick too...

hope that helped a tad

What I use for gnats and white flies is the following. Fly paper trap that you hang from the ceilings but my favorite is to use yellow plant identification tags that you write down for what strain you are growing and other information and place a generous amount of tanglefoot on them and place them in your container. White flies and gnats are attracted to the color yellow so they fly towards it then wallah they get stuck on the yellow tags because of the tanglefoot.
