yeah it doesn't look good, green and black bug?
i'm from the north east, seen my share of bugs - does it look like some kind of beetle?

i think i've seen them before - not sure if they are the problem
from my first look at your pix, i would have said 'bad ph issue' if there was no other info
are there any holes in the leaves - maybe tiny ones?

Looks like thrips... black dots are thrips feces and little thrips.

Manual removal... books says they are vexing to try and get rid of once you have alot of them.

Homemade sprays nicotine base, commercial pyrethrum, insecticidle soap.

apply 2-4 times at 5-10 day intervals.

just my my two cents. get the MMJ hort. bible.

Hope this helps.

are they beetles? - could be from the behavior you describe - flying away when approached
cucumber beetles behave that way but are normally yellow and black

one lined bug? - well this seems to have exhausted my bug lore - the top pic looks similar to cucumber beetle
cucumber beetles suck sap(i think), tend to cause wilt in cukes/squash/melons
never heard of them affecting mj, but sounds like some kind of bug trouble - at a loss unless you can get an actual pic of one of yours
