What makes you say thrips? I spent all night looking for pests didn't see anything except for a handful of fruit fly looking things that I thought might be the adult firm of leaf miners

Because the damage looks like thrips damage?

Thrips are VERY stealthy...They completely slipped my detection the first few times I saw damage like that on my plants....and then...I saw one. Once I spotted one, I started to see more of them. I haven't had leaf miner damage...yet...*knock on wood*...So maybe you're right. You asked for suggestions. I'm giving you mine as to what it might be...I think it might be thrips.

Look at the underside of the leaves that have some marks on them...look very VERY closely with a bright light and a magnifying glass...

First thing I would do is remove the affected leaves... Then spray foliage and soil with a killer of your choice...

Yea I looked the plants over completely. Even looked at the leaves with my 60x. The plants are still growing fine just don't know what's going on with them

Leaf miners I have killed about 20 adults it seems like they are on the ropes now. Going to just keep a eye on the adults and kill them as I see them.
