Are you using the white side? Also you might want to ask Tplant he's a big earthbox guy and he lives in Florida so he might have tips for you. Or King he's an EB guy in FL too.

Do the white things look like a snail's mark? If so it's prob leafminers...

Yep..pluck all those leaves off. The plant will still do fine. You might want to look for a spray (spraying doesn't do much but make YOU feel better) but that will only kill the leafminers that attack after you spray. It really shouldn't have much of an impact on your yeild unless you strip the plant of all it's leaves.

Starfly, I have had a heck of a time with leafminers. My EB plants aren't as badly affected as my RB plants. So far the leafminers haven't done any permanent damage but they do make my plants look ugly!
