It probably makes more sense for it to be whitefly, I was thinking it was
spider mite, but research shows it is a little early for those (especially
in my cold greenhouse)


Have a look at the 'eggs' through a hand lens (or just peer at them
closely if you're shortsighted) - do they walk around? If so, they're
spider mite.

You'd also see what looks like dust on the under side of the leaves and,
eventually, very fine webs on the newest and tenderest tips.
