I have recently moved my plants indoors, and under cfls. I have developed these dots on both of my plants, both at separate times. I have searched and looked through many deficiencies, but can't find one with symptoms such as these. Both plants are flowering and are 10/11 weeks old.

any insects flying around? or white things under the leaves? could be white flies or asphits (or whatever they are called). I dont know if mites leave holes but thats an option. Web Gallery Wizard™ check out the insect section.

Hmm...I don't ever see anything flying around in there, but I'll hang some fly strips and see what happens.

Sometimes you'll see then crawling around the edge of your pots, the bastards! If its gnats they like to chill out in the soil. Some sticky strips could definitely help. Maybe invest in a light pesticide.

It's spider mites....pretty serious problem if not taken care of. Take two damp spounges and rub down the leaves(be cautious) They make an organic pesticide that works pretty well (not sure of the name) mist the leaves after rubbing the leaves with the spounges. Spider mites like dry places but suck the juices out of the plants so kill em all!

Do they look like tiny little yellow globs under the leaves? I have some of those but I don't have a magnifying lense to really see what they are. I'll try and get a picture.

Yeah, I thought they were spider mites, then looked at them through the microscope and they are definitely aphids. I just kept wiping them away with a wet sponge I would stick in the freezer for a minute so that it was really cold. I just saw these things yesterday though. Know what they are?

they maybe thrip eggs takes 4 days to hatch then they become larva fall into the soil then after 2 gays become Pupa, the pupa will then go to leaves feed off them sucking the juice leaving those brown white spots they become full grown thrips after about ten days. Only adult thrips can lay eggs so if you kill the pupa before it becomes adult you should be able to get rid of them, use insecticide for up to three weeks spray under and ontop of the leaves once a week. Thrips are as bad as mites and will kill your plants fast
