The flies sound like fungus gnats. Better get those under control asap, or they can wipe you out. FAST.

I'm not sure what the yellowish spots are from, perhaps the flies,but what I did notice is the curling of the end of the leaves that are pointing up. Is that light you have on them like a heat (shop) type light? If so they put off alot of heat and could be hurting your girl. Lots of ways you can use CFLS and other affordable ways to produce good light that wont burn them,check on here,lots of these guys have GREAT ideas.

SM90 may help. I have used it for prevention. If you get it, follow directions to the letter. Use in the water you water you plants with, and also mix up a foliar spray. If you are paranoid about using as a foliar spray, then just try to spray leaves, and try to keep the spray from getting on the buds.

Remember, if you get it, follow directions. Very important with this stuff.
