Bug Damage?

[AgedMaster]

I had a bug on one of my plants it was long thin and light brown it seems to have damaged my leaf. I put some potted herbs in tent night before parsley and basil I think it came from them. I checked all over my plants and couldn't see no more it was about the length of a penny and thin. I did not get a pic as soon as I saw it I killed it right away its left marks on leaf and little black spots like poo. From checking online it looks like thrip damage but the bug looked nothing like a thrip is there any other bug that could do this damage

i dunno about the type of bug but the damage reminds me of a leaf miner. if so white dots would be eggs. there's also something sitting on the lower left hand leaf, right in the middle, on the spine.

Hi bluter I see what you see its a little bit of coco where i spray top to keep moist. I could see the bug from a distance it was pretty big it looked like a centipede. It looked like this photo just a lot thinner and not as long and flat it was exactly the same colour it was also moving around fast

Do u also see the small black dots is that poop or eggs is it possible to see leaf miner eggs without a scope

That looks like a thrip larvae. The leaf damage is consistent with them as well. Looks like you caught it pretty early. Now don't let up on those thrip bastards.

Thrips. I have them all the time during summer months. I keep them at bay with Citric acid sprays with a surfactant. 1 tsp per gallon or ~1 gram per liter of water is what I use.

.I need to kill these thrips. I'm in flower and starting to see white dots on my leaves. checked the leaves with a scope and saw no bugs but a little white globs that look to be maybe eggs on some leaves. Will the citric acid formula work to get rid of thrips? What is the formula for mixing it up? I'm also ordering some Grower's ally to threat. Hope something works. I've come to far to lose this crop.

What is the formula for mixing it up?

A similar recipe for a citric acid spray was worked up by @InTheShed and is in a msg he posted about controlling Powdery Mildew.

It does resemble leaf miners damage. They leave little white trails on the leaves and they they can look many different ways. The ones I had looked like baby flies. It’s a living larvae that leaves the trails but you can smash them in the leaves with your fingers by pinching. CL

That was a 1% solution but I'd cut that back to .5% or even .25% for PM now.

Leaf miner damage. And the only way to get rid of powdery mildew is increased air flow and removing the infection once you remove the spores and up air flow mildew cannot take hold it's all about air flow. Forget hydrogen peroxide it does not kill it. It only keeps it around by knocking it down then it comes back. Air flow is the key to stop powdery mildew. This is how I prevent mildew or rot regardless of humidity.

Will this formula kill thrips and mites at .25%?

I have no idea as I only use it for PM. In veg I use neem for thrips and mites, and in once there are pistils I use either Safers Insect Killing Soap Spray (potassium salts of fatty acids) which should be rinsed after it dries, or Dr Bronners unscented castille soap mixed as a spray.

Try keeping the grow room spot less no dust no dirt or leaves and up air flow to keep away bugs and molds. Ask any industry grower and they will say cleanliness and air flow the two biggest factors in success.
