Whats up, the babies are about a month old from sprout and they were doing great untill today... I noticed little bronze colored spots on their leaves and some leaves have tiny little holes in them like something has been snacking on them... So i thought to myself SPIDER MITES!!! So here are some pics to help me diagnose the problem... What do you guys think, and if it is spider mites what would be the best way to get rid of them?
I can't tell from the pictures, could be spiders or maybe thripes. Thripes are more outdoors/greenhouse than indoors though. Either way pyrethrum or neem oil should do the trick. Note, neem oil won't kill thripes, but will prevent them from feeding.

True, but I see small white spots on the leaves which may or may not be from pests. Since spraying pyrethrum won't harm the plant, perhaps it better to be safe than sorry.
