Help with bug identifying!

I have been seeing these almost clear markings on some of my new leaves coming in they seem to run along the veins of the leaves, already dealt with thrips, might be them but I know what their markings look like and they don’t seem to match, all help guys ??

That's not thrips and if it is bugs I would say mites from the random spread of spots. Almost looks like thrip damage on the edge of one leaf tho where it's a little shiny patch. If you don't have some sort of magnifier you should get one so you can tell if it's bugs and what kind of bug before you declare war on your plants to get rid of them.

If you 'accidentally' double post a thread or comment just report one to a mod and it'll be removed.

Good luck!

Upon closer examination I found a small bug (thin, white about 1-2 millimeters long) crawling up a stem towards the bottom of the plant, but pics are from the top stems/leaves, figured it must be thrips and sprayed it down with insecticidal soap.

Sounds like thrips. Spray the plant good every 4 days for at least 4 treatments. Can do a rinse spray 24 hours after each bug spray if you want but you shouldn't see any problems with the plant.

I buy that concentrated Safer's End All and add 10ml/L canola oil to each batch. 500ml bottle of concentrate cost the same as a 1L spray bottle of the pre-mixed but makes 10L. You need to make sure the oil is mixed in well but if you shake the shit out a part bottle it all turns to foam so just tilting back and forth a bunch then often as you spray keeps it mixed up good.

Be consistent and very thorough if you want to get rid of the buggers for good.
