I see a few of these on the tops of the leaves. They are very small and survived 4 hours of sulfur burn a couple weeks ago.
Thanks

Possibly in the medium. I noticed small damaged areas, white spots, on the top of the leaves. Then I spotted them on the top of the leaves near the damage. they are very small. I didn't see anything on the under side of the leaves. I'll try to find my microscope for a better view of 'em.
I've experienced mites way in the past and thankfully, there is no sign of mites or aphids. I'm leaning towards thrips?

kinda looks like it..
just use an isopropyl spray of 50% strength and soak your plants and let drip dry.. BUT makesure to cover your medium before spraying and during drying..

Thanks, I'm 99.9% sure they are thrips. I'm 3 weeks into flower so no chemicals.

99% alcohol mixed with water is okay because alcohol is volatile and thus evaporates and leaves no residue. Hydrogen peroxide is okay because it rapidly breaks down to water and oxygen. In any case, it's best to be rid of pests ASAP so they don't infect future crops.

You have to be careful with alcohol in flower! If it’s too strong, it can melt your trikes!
