Thrips

[KyReDNeK]

First post, long time reader for years.

Could anyone check this picture out and see if I have identified this pest correctly?
I did spray today with some pest killer but I am not home atm to say the exact brand/kind. Plant was germed July 1st so roughly a month old and starting to get preflowers and alternate nodes. Unknown bag seed.

This is what thrip damage looks like:

Notice you can't see the animal just the damage. The chewed up bit in the lower right is slug damage. It's one of the lowest leaves, why it has slug and thrip damage.
Thrips are not a pest I worry about, I haven't sprayed and probably won't. Too many beneficial insects and birds to worry about a couple lower leaves. Outdoors or indoors thrips are not a big problem. They don't multiply fast enough to endanger plants and leave the flowers alone.
What you can't see and what I will spray for is powdery mildew. The picture isn't high enough resolution but there's a small milky spot on the leaf. There's a maple tree nearby with a mass of leaves covered in powdery mildew in a shady part of the tree.
Every year the plants and trees around my garden get it. And it spreads to a few of my ganja plants that are susceptible. It's going to get sprayed with Potassium Bicarbonate (Green Cure) tommorow. So far It's the only one to have it. And the only one with that noticeable of thrip damage.
The plant is a Mextiza back in the blackberry bushes which is part of why the thrips are finding it. I've noticed plants that aren't acclimated to the West Coast get hit much harder by local pests then the hybrids I mostly grow.

Could be trips. Hard to tell by picture. They are easy to identify. Google image search. Different types of thrips look different. They are big and easy to spot. Also the black poop is easy to see.

Untreated, thrips can really mess stuff up. Last year was a bad one for trips in my area. Everyone had them bad. They are easy to kill but The problem was they were everywhere. In the trees and bushes. Whole counties had them. So they kept coming back.

I found the best thing for trips is spinosad. 2 sprays will knock them out. Every hardware store has it as Monterey garden. I use a more concentrated form called conserve SC. It's not better, it's just cheaper if you have allot of garden's. More geared towards farms then home garden's. A pint is like equal to 20 gallons of Monterey.
