The size in the first pictures are deceiving. Theyre like tiny yellowish-cream coloured maggots or caterpillars, but more evil. Little bastards....

Do you think it's ok to go ahead with my transplant this evening or should I wait until another treatment of captain jacks?

It will be easier to treat the plants in the smaller container. Do not transplant until you have this resolved.
You also need to inspect the underside of each leaf, not just the top.

I do inspect the bottoms :) I've been at this a few years just never cam across thrips till now. Thanks for your input on not transplanting. I am only worried because I have always based when I need to transplant by how tall the plant is, and didn't want to risk my babies getting rootbound.

I didn't mention the bottoms of the leaves because there are no signs of damage, bugs, or eggs.

spinosad is awesome on thrips. plants will perk up and look healthy very next day. treatment in 3 days is to get the new hatchlings. no worries transplanting.

this one will be easy and plants looking great in no time

Those are thrips. If you want to verify use a piece of tape and catch one of them. Then use your scope

I'd wipe the entire grow room with it, but I'm paranoid like that. I hate the fuckers..
