unfortunately, the shape of the bug in question leads me to believe it’s a spider mite. Thrips have a long body, where mites are round.

Thrips tend to look white on a leaf as well, where that bug looks more brown.
I just been in the flower room, the predator mites don’t seem to be doing their stuff, I pulled about 20 leaves with damage, all I can see is spider mites no predator mites

That would be the biggest spider mite I’ve seen to date… but to be honest when I replied last night I didn’t even see it on the leaf. Lol. Too much Chem smoke… shouldn’t be posting. Lol

I haven’t seen any webbing at all. They looked more red when I saw them. I wish I had a better camera for sure. I know when I Google red bugs on cannabis the only stuff I found was spidermite stuff. Little bastards.
The damage. It doesn’t look quite like the mite damage I had this summer, but similar.

I’m gonna try your method at some point, so I should be all good or calling you names. 
The only other alternative is to talk the brother in law into starting a tissue culture lab.

The damage I saw this summer was perfectly consistent round spots. This damage, not so much.

The damage you have looks 100% like thrip damage… I battle them every fall.

When I zoom in on that Pic, I swear i can count 4 legs on the left side.
I would rather fight thrips than mites for sure. I hope it’s thrips. I should have captured a few, but I just wanted to kill them. I blasted them in the shower and soaked with safers.

What I am looking at is the brown thing on the center finger near where it connects to the rest of the leaf.
The white dots looked more like powdery mildew.

Can you see mites with the naked eye? These were fairly obvious.

Looms like a mite and mite damage to me, piercing damage, not rasping. Either way, ypu got bugs…

Yup, but no signs at the flowering area. That helps me pinpoint where I lost my sensibilities.
Are 2 spotted mites larger than spidermites? I’ve seen a spider mite infestation, and this isn’t what I saw then at all. These are larger.
I hope this helps everyone remember that you shouldn’t bring plants in your tent from anywhere, unless it’s from a proper quarantine area with appropriate protocols.
Not a big deal for me at this time, but it could be for you. Like I said, I’m glad I learned this lesson now, instead of 5 years from now.

Two spots are distinct and can be seen with the naked eye
I doubt the eggs could be seen W/o the aid of a loop
