Wholy Crap those things are big & uGLY! Good luck friend Ill be watching & reading trying ta see whaty the hell these things are. lol YUCK bro.
 
I just did a search for "thrip pics" and those definitely look like many of the pics of thrips in one of their life stages, just bigger. I agree, those look ugly and scary.

It looks like there's a shitload of them on your plants. I think Spinosad works for thrips, and it's not too horrible of stuff, but Pyrethrin spray might also help.

Great pics by the way!

CANNATOPIA - thanks for your research , but still i dont think it's that type, because they are now already bigger than most thrips, and it's still in larval state ..
talked with a gardener, he told me it maybe could be cabbage thrips, but still i think they are 2 big to be those ... but that is what have looked most likely my bugs ..



but still not 100 % sure , maybe i will capture one and deliver it to Agricultural Sciences, it's not that long away from me , and maybe they could tell what it is...

Hit your soil with predatory nematodes and your canopy with heavy spinosad foliars. no more thrips.

Strange thing is, thrips leave behind a lot of greasy little black turds all over your leaves...and they usually eat the underside of the leaves, avoiding the silica layer on top.

great pics, by the way.

My money is that they're not thrips, they look much bigger and as nomaad said black crap/spots on the leaves. the leaf damage is from the bugs actually eating it?

Nomaad - Thanks for your message, I think you're rigth about they not are thrips, cause they dont do the damage thrips normally would ... and i havent seen any eggs on the plant, so im pretty confused here..

HOZ - yes it is, they actually eat the leaves, and like being pointed out before, thrips normally dont do that ..

Confusing...

Confusing...

Do you notice any white spots on the leaves? Thrips will suck out the plant tissue. I don't think they eat the leaves which is what's confusing me. They really look like the thrips in the first larval stage. I don't know.

No, and that part also confusing me, just like what they look like ..
but havent spot ANYTHING else than the strange larvaes on the plant, eating the leaves.. no white spots, no blach shit from them , and finally no holes through the leave...
