The problem seems to be mostly on the lower leaves. this baby girls probably has two months to go, and I don't want to lose her! any advise

You have pests. Try organic insect soap. Looks like you may need to create an IPM program.

Look like thrips similar to my leaf damage. You should be able to see them under your leafs. Get some neem oil and spray them if your not in flowering yet. Every 3-4 days for 2 weeks should be good. Then get cucumeris it’s beneficial mite.

my plant is not flowering yet, but i'm hesitant to use neem oil. I ordered this stuff, last night, Monterey Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad, do you think it will do the trick?

you could try a product containing Spinosad ..its good for getting rid of thrips and mites plus other insects as well ..mac,
