I've noticed small shiny spots on a few of my plants, any ideas what this could be? I have done some research, and mostly I've heard it could be Thirps. I have inspected the hell out of these plants with a 60x magnifying glass and couldn't find any signs of pests.

Most likely bugs. Thrips or mites.

Look at underside of leaf with scope, they are hard to spot. They are so tiny, but once you see them they will stand out better once you know what your looking for... almost translucent to white.

Those white lice looking bugs are thrips.

Pretty sure these are bugs. Kinda blurry but blurry bugs. 1st pic looks like a thripe second might be a spider mite.

I got nothing for ya bud. I refuse to spray my plants with anything that late into it.

However I will take a leaf blower to it for a bit. Just to piss off the bugs.

Environment, lights and nutrients with a heavy dose of reading.

Thrips Control for Indoor & Outdoor Growing

Thrips are common greenhouse pests damaging to food and flower crops. Control them with thrips predators, biological controls, insecticides and other organic methods.

I use pirate bugs they are pretty cool.
Dr zymmes and lost coast plant therapy say you can spray till harvest but i have not tried it.

I had same issue and after much reading I settled on insecticidal soap on the plant and diatomaceous earthat the base. I plan on just washing it off before harvest. Gl!
