Trying to diagnose issue with leaves/ plant health. I’ve grown this before and it never looked like this. Also want to add that this was a clone

These are aphids. You can quickly get Spruzit or another plant pest control product, preferably something organic for vegetables. If you want to be 100% sure, invest in a fogger. If you’re unsure what that is, RAM offers something like that. With it, you can regulate the humidity or simply use water. For my pest control solution, I mix 1L of water with 10ml of product. Pour it into the tank and place the fogger in the tent at the end of the light cycle. Fill the tent with mist once, and make sure it's dry again before the start of the light cycle—otherwise, you might get burn damage. Alternatively, use a spray bottle and gloves. Spray each leaf thoroughly, both from the top and bottom, and ideally wipe them off. Always remember: anything you touch with the gloves afterward will carry aphids! Best regards, Tomix👽

I found excessive dirt build up under the leaves and tiny bugs crawling in the soil. Can I get rid of these bug or do I have to terminate them. The soil was sitting outside exposed and the garden center was getting rid of them. Is there a way get rid of the pests at this point. They’ve been growing for over a month and we’re all clones in veg beside one seed that is stretched.

Looks like thrips.. they are absolutely tiny. If you don’t have 20/20 vision and some time to sit for 30 min to find them - they’re basically invisible Get some serious IPM asap
