Damn man what a freaking bummer. I can only hope that ya get a good harvest off the rest of what ya got. Have you tried using any kind of bug spray on them?

No for i have never had this problem but a few of the growers here have had the same problem and they gave me this recipie for a spray they say it works against almost anything

Boil 4 cups water, 1 jalapeno or habanaro pepper (pureed), 3 cloves of minced garlic, and 1/8 cup crushed red pepper. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until you are down to about 1-2 cups. Once you get there, add 2 cups of water and another 1/8 cup crushed red pepper. Keep it simmering. Once it is reduced again to 2 cups you will have a potent mixture that bugs hate. Strain and put in a spray bottle. Add a touch of dish soap at the end.

It works on people too. Not only did i smell bad, I couldn't see.

maybe ill try this from now on
DO you see those little whit things all jamed together??? those are the bugs and the grey ones in the other pics i tore the stem open to take some pics
