I have some clear leaf damage that appears to be pest related, because I can't think of a mechanical cause ... but I can't find a bug anywhere in the tent. Just spent an hour in there searching leaves with and without my scope ... found nothing.

The damage is really minor so far but Id like to figure it out before it gets worse.

Any thoughts?

Splashed droplet or from accidental rough handling, not always bug related, but I'd hang some fly or no pest strips around to make sure. But when I accidentally splash and shake it off, I assumed it was the led cooking the one spot. Or more if really splashed around. Jmho

I was hopeful that was all it was ... im rarely gentle with my plants but have never seen this before... I have some more sticky traps on the way so they'll be going in this weekend ... my gnat flies have returned to my veg tent ... just hit everything in there with some DE

So I definitely have a pest problem beyond my ongoing fungus gnat issue ... first saw these tiny little gray insects on one of the sticky pads in the flower tent ... then when I went to water the breeders the little buggers came pouring out of on of the pots... only seems to be in the one batch of plants right now... so I'm guessing they rode in in some soil... any ideas? They don't fly and unfortunately they are so damn small I can't get a picture. They seem to be living in the soil.

Can you scope them and see if they look like root aphids?

And now Im pretty sure I have thrips.... any tips on using spinosad? I can treat the plants at the roots right? I'd rather not spray with everything budding but I'm open to suggestions
