Looks like a little bit of over fertilizing if you ask me, most likely nitrogen. The plant doesn't need so much N at this point focus on PK

First, identify that you actually have thrips, use a yellow sticky trap.

The damage doesn't look 100% thrip. Could be a nutrient issue, doesn't look like typical calcium though, those dots are round IME.

May I ask what your feed mix is? Like how many mL per gallon of each bottle? I could run the #'s and see if something stands out there.

I use fox farm schedule and I split everything in half. I also use the fox farm soil. I’ve read about using the two together so I went ahead and did it my entire grow. I planned to stop feeding at 6 weeks. Then water. This last feed I did big bloom and tiger bloom because I planned to stop feeding in the next week. Hopefully that makes sense to you. It’s been a journey

Also I have seen some things flying around and tried to get them out but that’s a difficult task. I’m learning as I go. With much appreciation from all of you.

Ok, well for one thing I am not a big fan of half strength nutes. Some manufacturers do recommend a stronger than recommended feed but without a PPM reading I can't say.

Your feed appears to be high in nitrogen (dark leaves) and in flower we want to taper off the nitrogen and ramp up the P & K.

I am also not a fan of flushing, but thats another subject.

Yellow sticky traps, I wonder if you have winged root aphids or some other pest. Lets get some sticky traps down on top of the medium and hang a few up by the lights. We will know in short order what we are dealing with and we can target your treatment. Would be a waste of money to buy the wrong product.
