Is this Thrip damage?

I've had a number of problems with my girls mainly due to too much heat and that resulting in overwatering.

I've turned my 400w down to 250w which is not ideal but they all started looking a lot better however recently there's been a heatwave so the temps are around 30C sometimes 31C.

I need to switch them to flowering asap so if this is thrips then i need to sort it.

The Vanilla Kush has been pretty much perfect the whole grow and doesn't show any possible Thrip damage although it had always been growing very slowly probably due to heat.

Now to me there is something different about this to what i have seen of thrip damage. Something about it.. too uniform jot random enough maybe. Also it seems to be starting on new leaves, as if they are growing with the damage.

I cannot see any evidence of thrips, none in the soil no feces on the back of the leaves, nothing apart from an odd round thing as can be seen in the photo.

Also i noticed when i was taking photo they are all looking a bit bright green on new growth. I recently transplanted into 25L pots and haven't really given them any feed yet. They are in Plant Magic Plus Organic Soil.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Bubble Gum - Some but not all colas affected:

There was this weird round thing on a stem, touched it and it felt stuck but knocked it off and lost it in soil. Couldn't find anything else like it on any of the plants so could just be nothing:

Lemon Skunk - The worst affected:

The main colas were unaffected but they are starting to get it now:

The “thing” that fell , looks like scale,
I would guess you are seeing some nutrient problems, probably triggered by the heat .

Glad to hear it's not thrips. Just googled those scale things and it did look like one of those. I hope not and it's weird how i couldn't see any more than just that one. Annoying thing is we can't get that Spinosad stuff that's supposed to be really good for getting rid of pests in my country. I'll have to keep an eye out for any more.

Hopefully when i switch to 12/12 on Friday it should get the heat down a bit. Ballast won't go any lower than 250w and no other way to drop temps.

Thanks for the reply :)

Canada?
You need too increase air movement
Or add AC, are you pulling air out of the tent? I’d stay away from C02 till you have more experience.
