Thripa or leaf hoppers will hop away or move away to hide out of view if you poke near them w a pencil or stick.

Turning lights off for a couple hours wonât matter much to the plant. You donât have to go to 18/6. Just turn off lights until any spray you use dries. Then go back to 24/0.

Hope this isnt going to delay their growth
in the second pic you showed I was able to zoom in and I clearly see a thrip. Itâs blending in with the ridges of the leaf⌠itâs pale colored and probably 2 to 3 milimeters long and very slender

Why canât you run them 24hr a day now? Been running plants 24 hr from seed 15 years never an issue

I think he meant lights off if spraying the leaves, to reduce leaf burn risk.

K⌠I have editted these two pics.
If you blow them up and look inside the black circles I drew, you will see thrips in two life stages
The way the leaves are deforming is because the thrips are eating the inside of the leaf, cutting off parts of the leaf from nutrition/water and will deform in various ways.

Unless youâre like soaking them it will dry within like 15-30 mins if you turn your circulation fan on. Should be a minimal disruption. Those are small enough though that if youâre really concerned donât spray them, just turn them upside down and dunk them so you fully submerged any pests. 10% bleach solution followed by plain water would work best.

if thrips are on the leaves, they started in the soil.
Using a product that also treats the root zone is what I would advise.
That is why I use the montereyâs garden spray with spinosad as it is root zone safe and helps kill the life stages in the soil.
