Do I have thrips, or is it something else?

Hiya,

 

Three of the leaves on some Blue Dream I'm growing (2nd week of veg today) have started showing these marks. The only thing I can find similar online are plants suffering from thrips or potentially, magnesium deficiency. Am I correct with either of those? I'm a new grower, so my knowledge base just isn't there yet.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Slum.

i can't see anything to worry about mate, what exactly is it you are seeing?

 

[Slumgullion]

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Terrible photo, but I've tried to highlight what I mean here. Lighter green markings, they have a texture as if they have been scratched, that being said, none of the other strains in the same tent have the same markings.

i would give it time to grow out mate, once she gets going it should be fine.

 

thrips leave a tiny like slug trace on the top of the leaves and you might see the fly hiding in the veins, i think you are ok seeing as the rest are ok.

Yeah, I assumed that might be the case. Thanks mate!

Looks like the starting of the tell tale signs of thrips? With the faint white linear markings on the upper side of the leaves. Look under the leaves with a loupe or scope, to check for tiny larvae crawling around, as they start the life cycle to become an adult.. Hope I'm wrong with this bro..
