Iām in aquaponics with hydroton, I donāt do dirt or Coco. Other than never having to worry about watering correctly, aquaponics known for a lack of bugs 
Known for it? You said you had spidermites and now you have thrips.
Lol, I had spidermites that came in with watermelon seeds, and I have yet to see any bugs in my tent at all š¤·
Why ask for answers and then you do not accept them? Just go get a loupe and enjoy the party.

Already have one, and havenāt seen anything on the underside of any leaf, also have a monster magnifying glass Iāve been using, and of course a ton of pics on my phone I can then study zoomed inā¦ I have yet to see a bug of any form š¤· (btw, the spidermites on watermelon was in a different city, with different parts and I didnāt even own a tent back then, so Iām sure nothing has been carried forward from back the (it was also 5 years ago)

Ok then take some better pictures of the white spots magnified and we should be able to discern what it is.
If the pics above with the underside arenāt good enough to see them, I will VERY happily take more, just tell me what you need go see more clearly and Iāll go get a bunch more pics . Thank you for looking!!

@luxton you asked for advice, and it was given by many folks trying to be helpful. If you refuse to accept it, no problem, enjoy your dayā¦

Awesome that you can see it, but I feel like Iām playing Whereās Waldo here.
What do you mean? They are the three, equal length yellow segments on the leaf. About a half inch up from the one cocoa posted, there are two very close to each other. No oneās trying to make anything up

I asked where I would see anything that other people are seeing. Iām not refusing anything, Iām looking for more than a general finger pointing and āover thereā, ya know?

Ok, lemme put it like this, lol There IS obvious damage there. It IS caused by something Just because you are unable to find the culprit, does not mean they arenāt there. Occamās razor prevails, in my mind! Not trying to argue the pointā¦

Lol, ok, lemme put it this wayā¦ You all CAN see evidence, Iām trying to find out where/how/what youāre seeing so I can diagnose problems in the future myself.
Sadly, this is exactly why most people donāt want to ask questions on boards. Iām trying to figure out what you all are seeing, so I can learn, and all Iām getting is āitās there, youāre blindā and that Iām refusing answers.
Thanks all, this is twice the same kind of response has happened, Iāll take my diagnosis questions elsewhere. l appreciate it.
