Thrips? Anyone Deal With These In Dwc?

[Lando1]

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I think I have thirps.
I read that the damage and the black specs (feces) indicate thrips, which is what I am seeing.
I have not seen any adult thrips either.
Anyone else deal with these in DWC?
The picture is of a seedling, she is in a veg tent with 2 other plants. The other two don't look affected but I am guessing it's only a matter of time.

i doubt this is thrips, you would prolly have much more damage seeable across the fan of leaves if it was thrips

The damage doesn’t look “thrippy” if you have thrips you should be able to find them under the leaves, might need a loop to see them.

White flies . They leave a residue that looks just like that…..
Maybe,

Pic of the back side of the leaf's might help ..

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
The underside of the leaves show no damage. The reason I think it's thrips is that my wife's plant had a few (2 months ago) of them before she took them outside for the summer.
Maybe I am being overly paranoid, but I would hate to deal with a pest again. I had spider mites around 5 years ago and it ruined the whole crop.

Under side of leaf don't care about damage... I was looking for insects to ID what insect you have so we know how to help you.

Personally I thought hydroponic growers get the same insects except fungus Gnats everyone else gets growing in Dirt/soil/compost.

I haven't seen any insects, just the damaged leaves.
So! I put a yellow sticky trap and it caught something, it's tiny, I had to zoom in 30x (max of my phone) to capture the picture. It definitely looks like a bug.
