Found out it was thrips. just going to yank them, ive already spent too much. another $20 on a bottle of spinosad that "may or may not work" ehh... everything ive read sais that thrips are basically a nightmare and almost impossible to kill, i just dont have the time and patience for this. If someone has a literal "free" last resort method to eliminating these thrips I will try it since im gonna yank the plants anyways.
nvm i just yanked them. last time i try to grow these plants, they are simply too sickly and susceptible to pests to be worth it. plus the seeds are insanely expensive...
