Need help with diagnosis

Hi!

First time grower here.

My plants have all started looking very sad the last couple of days. They had these little green/white bugs on them so I've been spraying the leaves with a mixture of water, soap, and vinegar. They stand in a window and get some sun, but it hasn't been that warm or sunny lately.

Any ideas as to what is happening?

29cm tip to handle with about the same edge length.

5.5-6cm height.

Need help selecting stones

Hi!

I'm looking to beef out my collection of stones. I have a Tawa combination stone #1000/#3000.

I got a cheap set of stones off of amazon (400/1000 and 5000/8000), but those were soft and likely lower grit. Did a decent job though. A couple of weeks ago I went to a sharpening class with my mother and have since given her the amazon stones.

So now I need to complement my collection with a lower and a higher grit stone. I've been looking at Shapton glass 500 and the Rockstar #500 or Shapton pro #320 (buying from my closest online store they're all the same price).

I am more unsure about the higher grit stone. There's king, shapton, and naniwa stones in the store.

So looking for recommendations on lower and higher grit stones to complement my 1000/3000. Have been reading a lot of recommendations on here, but somehow still at a loss as to what to actually get.
