Look for bugs, the pics are not that close so it is hard to tell, good luck

look on the underside of the leaf for bugs, you might need a magnifying glass to see them. don't let them get out of hand. treat right away with neem oil

i looked for bugs and there are no signs of them..i looked thru a magnifying glasss and didnt see any.. well i will try neem oil its the only tip i've gotten so it can hurt them..Kevin thanks for the tip...

Would lady bugs work or just neem oil...because i have lady bugs in the ice box..

i would go with the lady bugs since you already have them. you could always hose the plants off with water before releasing the lady bugs.

next time you water, also look very closely for bugs as some stay hidden in the dirt until u flood them out. trying to think outside the box though, when u water make sure u aren't leaving water droplets on the leafs and then sticking them back under the lights, or u could get little burns also.

the plant looks to good to scrap. those little bugers are hard to spot, but the damage looks like early stages of spider mites. i'm dealing with the samething but i let mine get out of hand. like cashman said, look at the soil right after you water. set those lady bugs loose.
