Definitely thrips and thrips damage on the leaves. I can see a couple thrips also. Use a alcohol and water mix it will kill them. Do preventative sprays weekly for prevention.

Your welcome bro. Yep they do they die pretty easy. I've had good success with alcohol water and pyrethrum both organic ways to kill them. The alcohol won't hurt the plant because it evaporates so fast.

Any pesticides with spinosad work great for thrips too, its organic and doesnt stress or burn the plant

Thrips. They have some bayer stuff you can get at home depot that works well.
