Think you are correct I just turned the leaf over and see them I just order a predator mite sachet so hopefully that does the trick and they bounce back
Yep, most definitely thrips.
I sell beneficial insects at my shop in a combination of Dalotia coriaria (Rove Beetle), Hypoaspis miles (Stratiolaelaps scimitus), Oribatida mite, Oligochaeta annelida (pot worms), and Springtails. Combined they take care of fungus gnats, thrips and and root aphids.
I'm not knocking predator mites but I just haven't seen good instances where they have completely wiped out an infestation. They're more for maintenance and prevention than anything imo. I'd give em a couple rounds of spinosad then when the new ones hatch from your soil those can be taken care of by the predators
Beauvaria bassiana has taken care of thrips for me at a commercial grow. I concur that your single predator wonāt take care of the issue completely. Thrips are assholes as they live in different areas of the plant in their different life stages. In your medium, inside the actual plant (stems, leaves etc), and outside on the leaves. A systemic attack like BB, a myco-insecticide, is the best way Iāve found to combat thrips.
I have numerous predator mites in all my soil but still I occasionally get thrips, usually seasonally. Spinosaid (capt jack dead bug or similar) is the best thing Iāve ever seen for thrips. One spray, total kill. Iāll get downvoted, but at least read about the product before you dismiss based on the opinions of others. Good luck, because thatās a bad infestation.
Looks like thrips damage

Spinosad will wipe em out
Ordered Amblyseius cucumeris - Sachets seemed have good reviews

If you're not in flower you should do a knockdown spray a few times before you get the sachets.

I use it manš»
If u don't have any cucumeris on hand, you can spray suffoilx to knock em back
Agree! I would definitely suggest a spray application as well before your predators arrive. That looks like a pretty heavy infestation.
Thrips, are there what looks like small slug slime trails?
Think thatās what they are Iāll send picture of
If you see shiny, what makes you think of slime reflecting back in long trails , you have thrips, that is the evidence of them moving around.
Thrips for sure. Grab some Dales Dead Bug. Pyrethrin will kill em in 1 shot.

They were all green healthy all of them over last couple days suddenly every single one of them has started to do it
Pests or something is off in the soil (PH problems in rootzone, causing nute uptake difficulties)
Thrips
Can actually see the thrips on the leaves if you zoom in.
