Hi rybec, I grew some generic AG's last year and had this problem diagnosed with my plants by the wise growers here on the forums. Here are a few images of what it looked like on my leaves.

Forgot to mention... It seemed to weaken the leaves natural defences to insects and they had a delicious feed on them once it spread all over the leaf. I treated it with a store bought sulfur Fungicide spray, which didn't cure the problem, but seemed to prevent it from spreading to other leaves.
