Hey good people! I had a thread wondering if damages on my leafs are from spider mites, but couldn't find any webs, now more I'm reading I think it's thrips, on one of my 3 plants 2-3 leafs also have black cluster of small dots, all comments are welcome. (Plants had nute burn and microscope I ordered should arrive in few days)

Here is the best pic I could find of a thrip when I had them...

That bug you posted looks way too big to be a thrip, but maybe mine were small.

I had lots of leaves with little white dots on them from thrip damage, and I could see the fuckers crawling around too.

Sprayed with spinosad to get rid of them

That just might be a rogue bug...do you see more of these bugs or just the one? Your plant is using lots n lots of energy to produce those nice buds...I see normal decaying of the plant, might need some cal/mag with your feeding.

I just found one bug and I'm thoroughly looking at my plants and don't see any movement, but they are bushy so maybe I'm missing it, I burned them a bit and I'm also thinking next watering it needs mag.

Yea it doesn't look like it, it's much bigger, but still I'm having white, yellow, brown spots on many leafs and don't know what to associate it to.

Thrips are on the bottom of the feaf, and they are miniscule. They are the smallest insect you will ever see, and without a scope, you will never see them. The effect on the leaf is very small brown patches, or dots It kinda looks like something was spayed on the leaf and it burned it.
It will start slowly, and eventually cover the whole leaf. Neem oil or insecticidal soap works, but they are tought to get rid of, but it can be done.Do it quickly, because they do spread. These are leaves that were damaged by thrips.
Hope this helps.DSCN1369.JPG DSCN1373.JPG DSCN1374.JPG DSCN1378.JPG ,.,

I think you're confusing your insects. Mites, Miners, and some Aphids are smaller. I'm assuming you are referring to Thrips larvae.

Adult Thrips are commonly mis-diagnosed as Knats or Fruit Flies, by many. Theyre larger than Knats, and fly around, but don't like to stay in the air, for long, and black.
