So hard to tell for sure
but that leaf damage does not look like leaf miners, more pics are needed but could be thrips, I normally spot them in the soil and in the drip tray, if they get breeding in the soil then they can be a bitch to get rid of

I did some research and from the picture in the book, they look like Leaf Miners. I have no personal experience with this bug;if that's what it is. I'll keep looking. I don't know if it's kosher or not to post copy-rite pics. However I did find the pick in Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook on pg 461. You can Google it.

Don`t leaf miners leave more of a white trail or long scar along the leaf ?
Looks more like thrips, fungus gnats or spidermites to me but need a more pics really to narrow it down, never had leaf miners on my plants but the do normally scar up the leafs with long lines from what I`ve seen of them ?
Agreed. The long runs of discolored leaf in pic#1 outside would suggest leafminers but indoor that is not likely.
