Any idea what causes this?

These are a couple leaves from 2 of my plants ( couldn't find any other that have this sort of marking) not sure what causes this at first i thought was the following

1. thrips but couldn't find any anywhere (my IPM contains of a spinosad product so if they were around they may have died)
2. White flies but i couldn't see anything (used a 60x loupe as well underneath affected leaves and saw nothing)
3. Maybe just residue from spraying that didn't dry before i put the lights on or something

Any help is greatly appreciated and if anymore information is needed please go ahead and ask

edit: plants are about 5 weeks old so its possible this happened a while ago and i just didn't notice as well

Hi how are you today? If you put up a picture of the whole thing I would bet on those being lower fans leaves from lower stem nodes towards the bottom - If I am right then no issue is present, they do that naturally as they grow and do not use thoses leaves to produce any longer, I have a good deal of fans dry up at the lower end of plants while they are growing, its natural pruning. Let me know!

The active ingredients in spinosad do break down over time. Maybe the stuff you had with it in it was older.

it will kill thrips... like Tony said.. maybe it was old.... try monterey i know that works ive had thrips twice and that shit works everytime
Yea i've never even seen any live 1s yet how big are they? I only noticed just a very small amount of leaves with this sort of thing on them. I have hot shot pest strips in my garden as well so alot of times i only see dead bugs never alive 1s
