Yep bugs. Maybe mites, look for webs on the underside of leaves.

A good miticide should do the trick. Douse them..and check them daily, if you're getting close to flower especially

If you can put them outside for a week or so ive noticed natural predators usually consume them fairly quick, worked for me anyway. If you cant put them out, well your at the mercy of chemical alternatives (Azamax) or something similar, or you can try predator mites although i have not heard of good results they cant keep up with the rapid reproduction. That being said if you put them outside you run the risk of bringing new problems back inside. Im growing inside and out this year and both crops have been just as stressful. Think spider mites suck? Wait until you deal with four lined bugs, Japanese beetles, ground hogs, cops, deer, and rippers. Good luck man!

Yes, I do have a scope, the $10 one from radio shack. I can't find any bugs at all. Or egg masses. I even shook the leaves over paper to knock anything loose. Nothing.
Running a 600w air cooled. I have misted the leaves before (R/O), but I don't think it's that since lower leaves are affected as much, or more than upper leaves.
MG organic potting soil with composted manure, perlite, and granulated lime is the medium. Go box nutes, heavy schedule. R/O water mostly. Used rain water the last couple of times. Adding GO box "cal-mag" as well. Jamaican Dream, about a month old.
That scope should be enough to see bugs, right?
Also, they were in/out from seed up until about a week ago, right next to the tomatoes.
Outside during the day, in the tent at night to finish the on cycle. Been at 19/5 for about 10 days. (that works better for me than 18/6 schedule-wise)
I know that's risky for all sorts of reasons but I deemed that risk acceptable, and I'm not yet convinced that's what started it.
Thanks for the help, fellow growers. What can I do to help you with a better diagnosis?
Unfortunately, I can't take a leaf to the neighborhood nursery.

since you are moving them in and out it could be white moths and many other things. I would spray them to be safe then when you flower them you cant use any chemical just pepper spray then, I had the same thing form water burning holes in mine down 2/3rds of the plant and it was from misting them. I use sevin for all outdoor plants. I never spray the mj plants when it start flowering except with my homemade pepper spray
