Youve got bugs. Big Time.
And I also believe something else, is munching on them.
Second photo down, on main stalk. Critter clearly visible. Also same photo, upper right, shows an out of focus bug of seemingly, same species. Looks like some kind of mite, or aphid. And theres small dots everywhere, which are bugs, or/and possibly bug droppings.
Someone should be around, that can 100% identify the pest. But, youve got bugs, big time.
