Are thrip visible?

i only ask because these guys on thcfarmer wrote off my plant as just having thrip bites .. even though I explained.. I had 0 problems on leafs.. then heavily watered and used very strong nutes.. and 24 hrs later these marks appeared on the leaves ..evenly on them all bronze markings.. well needless to say after close inspection with a magnifying glass and even the soil the plants in.. under leaves in crevices.. not one single bug and id assume nute burn or overwatering.. leaning towards nute burn.. just to get a second opinion and be sure.. thrip are visible right.. with a magnifying glass especially? I mean doesnt seem logical theyd be there unless they have good tactics and evenly attack plants edges only.. anyways heres pics .. is nute burn and thrip infestation that similar???

Thip bites look like shiny squiggle lines. That looks like you might need to feed it more hard to tell without whole plant pic

Heres whole plant... sorry.. i fed it alot of nutrients.. feel like that may have been the problem since its when it started still a bit droopy from the flushing

Thrips are visible under the leaves , though you might not spot them straight away , they like to hang around tucked against the leaf vein.

They are a bit like spotting magic mushrooms, you need to get your thrip vision activated.

Trust me i looked at these things like a crackhead tryna find that lost rock.. i flipped leaves around held the pot above light level got my face like an inch from the leaf rubbed finger on leaf to see if motion caused somethin to move.. used a magnifying glass even.. nothin.. its just a nute overload.. i used this 24 12 16 nutrient that also claims to be absorbed by leaves as well.. well its 1 tsp per gallon every 2 weeks.. i used 1 teaspoon in a 700 Milliliter bottle .. basically gave it 5x what i should have.. idk why i thought the bottle was a gallon for some dumb reason..

I always thought browning spots and drooping leaves were signs of overwatering....

I have a small thrip issue currently. You will def. notice chew marks on the leaves, and those squiggly lines as stated above. Do you have a loupe to spot them? I was able to see one with a 90x probably in its third or fourth stage of its life cycle. Disgusting to look at
