What can I do to fight them? I have neem oil at home but no spray bottle… should I sprinkle it on the leaves with my hands? Should I order some insects that eat the thrips? Keeping humidity low should be good right? I wanted to top the plant today but that should wait right?

I wouldn’t say this is any kind of pests. But it seems like you are starting to get a calcium/magnesium deficiency. I would recommending adding calmag to your feeding. There is plenty of products out there organic or synthetic. There is calcium magnesium in dry feeding and liquids so whatever suits you. But be careful with it, if you over feed it you will burn your plant. And lower the dosage when you enter flower. If it would be pests I would recommend buying Neem oil, it’s super good to all kind of bugs! It’s always good to have at home in case of emergency. And if you don’t want to use Neem oil you can always get your hands on Lady bugs. They eat all king of leaf pests. Good luck ☺️🍯

That's not from pests. neem is ineffective if it is "clarified" or otherwise missing the active ingredient, which is often the case. My state doesn't allow the sale of 'real' neem oil. An 'uncomfortable' environment relative to a pest won't do much either. pyrethrines are a good option - kills on contact. Nothing is 'safe' to use on flowers, if/when they exist no matter what the package says, FYI. interveinal chlorosis with spots does point toward Mg deficiency. If the plant is not old enough, it's more likely something else. Mg issues take 30+ days to be visible from the point it was deficient. This plant looks too young for that. How it progresses will help eliminate possibiities.

that's not looking like thrips to me. its looking like calcium with some Magnesium issues. I don't think neem is going to do jack shit no matter how you apply it to fix that problem. Check your nutrients NPK breakdown and for 2ndary macros. Plagron is famous for making it not easy to find. its annoying.
