    I've had this silvery speckles for quite some time and they don't seem to do massive damage although obviously they are not helping. I just rip the leaves off but it always come back, what the hell is it? As you can see there is nothing underneath the leaves

    any help much appreciated

    Looks to me like an infestation, leaf miners. Have you inspected very close with a microscope or magnifying glass? Those erratic lines lead me to believe a critter is eating your leaves.

    Yep, had a look through a jewellers eyeglass, little yellowish dudes about 1 ml long. I'm not too worried coz I've had through a couple of nice crops. I'll try getting shut anyway, I'll look for the best way to get rid without harming my plants, cheers every1 who answered
