Yeah its definitely thrips, spider mites spread quick and it looks like a white dust on the leaves, you'll notice that the white on your plant is clumped together in more congested colonies. I've never had it before go with experience and trust wiethe on this one. Spinosad, Monterey Garden, put those in the memory bank for future reference thanks wiethe.

Thrips have asymmetrical mouthparts that are also unique to the group. Unlike the Hemiptera, the right mandible of thrips is reduced and vestigial – and in some species completely absent. The left mandible is larger, and forms a narrow stylet used to pierce the cell wall of tissues.[6] Some species may then inject digestive enzymes as the maxillary stylets and hypopharynx are inserted into the opening to drain cellular fluids.[7][8] This process leaves a distinctive silvery or bronze scarring on the surfaces of the stems or leaves where the thrips feed ....'101'...?
