Anyone know what these marks are?

Hypoaspis mites are useless for thrip control, the mites live in the soil and the thrips live on the plant.
Mites can catch a few it might even help as a prevention mesure but completely useless once the thrips move up the plant.

Personally I'd be using chemical warfare thrips are a nasty pest!

Neem oil is good but you can buy predators on amazon or garden centre they eat the thrips then die after around a week without food I personally would try the predators mate

Predators take too long and are not always effective once an infestation occurs. They are better used as a preventative. Once an infestation occurs you need something more effective than adding some predators and hoping they eat all the bad bugs.

Would you recommend buying some as a preventative method ?

I'd just spray with neem or something as a preventative. But only in veg and the first week or 2 of flower. I've switched over to sesame oil myself and no longer use neem but it is an effective preventative.
