My habenero has started to lose its leaves, grow black spots on the leaves, turn yellow, the leaves are curling up. I've seen spider mites on it, and larvae of something. I found what I believe to be aphids (little greenish or brown lice looking things) on a cilantro plant that is closeby, but they are not touching. I took it outside, I do not wish for them to spread if they have not already.  I have had fungus gnats, and I'm trying to get rid of them.
 
Two basil plants seemed to have similar problems. One of the basil plants also has small brown dots. I tried to be proactive and cut off all the leaves that were showing symptoms, but it's still back. I thought it might be spider mites, and I saw on a website that you can use "pepper spray" to kill them (made out of habs) but I don't think it did anything.
 
My hab still has peppers on it like you can see, but I'm worried about it losing all it's leaves and dying.
 
 
My setup is two ~4k lumen lightbulbs with roughly >1/2 of that going to the hab.

I saw the hot sauce spray on another website, but it was also on the pests facts. All of the symptoms just seem so familiar.
 
I found aphids on it. It's all but dead right now. I'm going to try the soapy water treatment tomorrow.
