My plant is still in seedling stage - just started to make 5 finger leaves - 18 days post germination. Should I dump my plant and start new seeds? Current seed was 1.5 year old

Alright I am not sure what to do. The breeder suggests 60 days in flower and she is ready for harvest. But because of the thrips infestation I had, 1 girl seems to be stunted. Should I just wait longer than 60 days and hopefully they recover and fully mature?

Spider mites
So it turns out the Thrips were not Thrips at all they are bloody spider mites. Noticed them feeding on nematodes after spraying. Predator mites on there way and sprayed with an 1-8 iso mix. Now should i rinse the plant with just water before adding the predators?

Are these early signs of thrips?
Are these indicators of thrips? It appears so to me. Dr. Zymes is a good solution from what I've read....is it? And what's the best way to foliar spray the plants so the LED light doesn't cook them?

If auto flowering plants suffer a period of stunted growth (eg due to overwatering), does that extend the veg phase or do they still flower at the normal time based on growth of the plant. i think i lost 10-14days - is this hopeless?

Need input on the growth so far. My node/internode spacing is very tight which has resulted in short and bushy/dense plants. I understand there are several contributing factors to this but how does it impact yield? What to do if my spacing too tight? Should I even be concerned?

Insects in soil
I have been noticing that there are some insects living in the soil, I have seen two types, little white bugs and a small brown ´caterpillar’. I have done some research, andsome people suggest to keep the caterpillar since it will eat the bugs. Any ideas on how to deal with this?
