I do have mild thrip damage on all my plants, I spray weekly. But that damage mostly looks like small white dots. Can thrips also cause necrosis where the leaves die, have spots, brown edges, etc?

Not sure if they can cause necrosis, as I’ve had thrips once, and didn’t notice it get that bad. If you’re vegging toss some DE all over the plant. (Diatomaceous earth)
I haven't found a good way to apply DE, I do have a bunch of powder, but it seems easier to spray with fatty acids, they should kill thrips just as effectively. Sometimes it's just hard to hit the undersides of all the leaves I guess.
I'm using bio bizz light mix amended with perlite and worm castings. I'd be surprised if it was a PH issue, but I guess I'll have to test runoff the next time I water. I've been using the same PH level in my water for several months now. Between 6 and 7, about 6.5 on average. I did check runoff a few months ago and it seemed fine, so I hope you're wrong

Could it be a mix of calmag def + wind damage?
Will do! Do you have any idea what it might be?
Gotcha, appreciate the info, even if it happens to be something else entirely.
Possible insect issues
Damn. I have no idea what it would be. I spray for most things weekly, or so I thought.
