Is this what thrips do?

Just started this grow about two and a half weeks ago and I see this on one of my plants out of 24. Wanted to know what you guys think this is. Is this a nutrirent deficiency or the work of thrips. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you look carefully at the photos you can see silver patches. Looks like scar tissue to me.

Looks like 2 issues. Thrips and burn or lockout/def of some kind. You can see the work of the bugs, but the leaf edges look like they are burnt or something too. IDK, never had thrips, so if they also do that then nevermind I guess. No pest strips, and check your ph and recheck what you are feeding and how often. What is that FFOF? What are you feeding them, ph in and out? How long have they been in the pots?
In other words I have no idea. Go get some no pest strips.

The silvery scars on the center of the leaves are thrips. Cure with "Dr Doom" bug bomb or "Monterey insect garden spray" (with spinosad)

The brown leaf edges is nute burn. Flush with Plain PH corrected water.

Flush flush flush.

i beleive silver spots can come from anything sucking on the leaves or even a humidity issue

Thrips causing the stippling and phosphorus or potassium deficiency causing the marginal scorching, not so much overfert, but possible also IMO.

I concur, it looks like a combo of deficiency/lockout and thrips.. Spinosad is good stuff, and funny cause I am about to spray spinosad when the lights go out tonight, as i have been noticing some silver streaks and rasping..

as for the deficiency check the link in my sig to the nutrient and deficiency table.. it can be a lifesaver when trying to figure out deficiencies and how to correct them.
Good Luck :)

But like has been asked already, what is your water ph, what is the runoff ph? how often do you water?? what nutes, at what strength??

There can also be overfert masked by some deficiencies because they occur in the same location on the leaflet (it's because the tips transpire the fastest because of their surface area so "burn" will always show up there first), so it can be simultaneous problems that just look like one problem.

That's why the marginal scorching gives it away to a degree.

Yeah, the tips burn.
but this is marginal scorching with chlorosis and then curl of the necrotic tips.
