Probably thrips. Notice any clumsy little flies? you could have mites They like to hang out on the bottom of the leaf and they are as big as this period.....maybe smaller.
you definately have either thrips or mites my guess would be more thrips. see the stipling on the leaves? that's your tell tale sign of sucking insects
Got to homedepot and grab a botlle of Neem Oil. Thats what I use to prevent mites, powdery mildew and most of all keep it nice and clean. Also if you have mites that will kill them just hit your plant well with it.. Go one Table Spoon for a half of a gallon, spray it while ur plant is sleeping. Repeat it on the third day. now let it rest for a week. And keep us update it amigo =)
The thrip eggs might be in the water. What is the water source? I recommend spinosad for thrips. You should stay away from pesticides that will mess with the bees.
The tiny little white dots do look like mite damage, there could be multiple infestations, (60+ different mites exist) agree with all of the above as far as destruction. A well diluted Pyrethrum product works well too.
Good luck . . . . . KILL EM ALL buddy!!!
Note, if you let the medium dry out enough so you can lift it easily, sort a garbage bin out and dunk the entire plant swishing it around in what ever product you decide on . . . . . I had to do it with a big pot. I lined the soil with plastic, sprayed expanding foam over the top, and ten mins later had a hard surface so I could turn it upside down easy enough . . . . . peel off the foam after, obviously, lol.
Ok so I went to Home Depot and this was the only neem oil they had. Is this stuff ok? There is a hydro store that said they had neem oil but is more expensive and further away, but I will def get another if needed for my baby. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I would have recomended habanero spray as an organic solution..there is a huge thread in the bug section on it... Works on eggs larvae and adults instantly!
