Leaf rust plus insect eating them (pics)

I have 7 plants which are flowering (couple of weeks) but there are 2 problems and I don't know what to do. The first problem is "rusting" of the fan leaves at the bottom, middle which I have no idea what is causing it. The second problem is I have small white insects on the underside of some of the bottom leaves which are eating them causing them to turn patchy white.

Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

oh ps. The pots they are in a probably too small as I need to water them less than every 2 days however they are 2-3 weeks into flowering. Should I bother or try one and see how it goes?

Seems like a mite problem.Go to a garden cenetr or hydro shop and tell them you need something to kill mites probably spider mites as they are killing you flowers in your window box

Turn the leaf over, and look under it, they will be very very small. And you need to act fast, the longer you wait, the more pain in the ass it is going to be to get rid of them. They can muliply in the right conditions with a day. Take them out : )

you need to remove the incest infected plants.....your almost a month into flowering...dont add any pestecide it will leave residue in the bud an taint the taste....as for the leaf coloring i think you have a potaiusm defencieny....if you think your pots are to small transplant a few an see what happens...

once they start muchin on your leaves they will shut down the growth and take over your room. We have talked
Extensively about mites on this site i just bombed a small veg room the other day, your infestation seems small but they have most likely gone into a reproductive cycle

Thanks for all the replies. Should I use pestecide or not. Thats the question.

if you do neem oil...only if you need it also try some a diluted peroxide water spray..
