youdananswered grow question 4y ago In my opinion, the problem is either thrips or too much heat and little air circulation..... do you grow indoors or outdoors? Because in the latter case, it's impossible for there to be poor air circulation and high temperatures; the plants, even if they are at 40 degrees outside, respond very well!.... I think they are THRIPS!!! CHECK UNDER THE LEAVES FOR INSECTS; THEY ARE REALLY TINY AND LOOK LIKE LITTLE WHITE OR BROWN DOTS.
