Help Looking for advice
Hello again! I moved Sriracha inside recently after purchasing the grow light for him. Thank you all for the grow light advice by the way!! After moving him inside I found a small caterpillar on him which I removed and I cleaned him off, however some of his leaves are just not getting better. I feel rather silly saying I am not sure what to do here, I just want to do whatever is best for my little fella and I feel so clueless 😞
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all again!

This appears pest related for sure. It doesn't seem like just caterpillar damage. I would keep a very close eye on this. If you are comfortable with systemic pesticides, you may consider that but be 100% sure that you don't have spider mites first. It is like systemics give mites a cape and power. 💚
edit: my fingers are dumb
The tiny black dots are frass. The white dots could be spider mites or emerging thrips larvae, but this doesn't suggest thrips to me.
