Spider mite or thrips damage?

Do these look like (see picture attached) signs of spider mites or thrips or any other bugs? I tried looking underneath the leaves with my microscope at 60x but didn't see any signs of pest. I sprayed down with some sm-90 for the time being and bought some sticky traps to see if I can catch anything and get a better view.

The bug section tends to be slow to get responses. Seems bug problems get better attention in the plant problem section.
I can say it does not look in any way like thrip damage. With thrips you will see little black poop dots on the leaves and a shiny look in the damaged area.
I can't rule out spider mites and they are much worse than thrips to have to deal with.
Spider mites leave white specks but I can't tell if that is what is causing yours.
If it is you caught it early which is good. Maybe others will chime in.
Google cannabis spider mites and compare pictures of the damage to yours.
Maybe someone else will chime in, if not post the thread in the problem section.
Good Luck!
