^^^ I won't even bother... be well, grow well.
believe it or not, bugs DO make their way into some pretty damn well kept, pristine, sealed off, controlled environments....
This is indeed a circle jerk and, you are the pivot man, Cabron! Open wide!
You will be toast very soon...calling people fools and dumbasses...among a myriad of other rude comments.
I'm dealing with your exact issues right now.
I see the exact same leaf damage, though not lots of it. (perhaps this is why I paid it no attention and assumed it was from FIM, maybe it was?). I do not see slimy silvery trails, but on some leafs it looks as if there is still light water on em. (This simply can not be.) Usually mid level leaves.
I do see the peppery dots as well, although not much at all.
The only thing your leaving out is this:
A tiny, very small bug that at first site I thought was an larvae. yellowish/orange (brighter orange.) That hops/jumps around if touched. Does not fly.
I only started adding the pieces up because of a chance notice of this "larvae" (bug).
I thought it was aphids. (Maybe it is. doubt it.) The bug hangs out on the backside of the leaves, and will attempt to run to the front if you turn the backside to face the light.
thrips or aphids?
no matter they all will be dead soon.

Look....
This is really a frustrating circle jerk!
