Help. Little brown holes

hello, me again. I recently made a post about possible bug infestation. I still have not found any evidence of thrips. But I have noticed recently little brown holes appearing on some of my fan leaves. I'm not sure on why it could be. I ph my water at 6.7 and am currently feeding fox farms big bloom and grow big. (Sticking to feeding regimens). My plant is about a month in a half old almost two months. Can anybody tell me what it might be
(Zoom in on first picture to see holes)

Hey 302, might be old bites, I know one thing you can grow some monsters bending them over like that outdoors sometimes.
 
Doesn't really look like mites
Are the spots only on a few leaves? Did they show up suddenly? Are they getting worse... growing/spreading?
 
Yes sir I do in fact I kind of got a split down the center of the pot while making the holes. Plant doesn't show any signs of wilting. And yes the spots are only on a several small leaves. And I'm not sure exactly if suddenly by t seems so. One day I was just looking at my leaves and saw a few small brown holes and small white specks ( seeing less of) I thought it might be thrips because of specs but can't find any type of bug itself. Also i would say it is slowly getting worse. (Not at an alarming rate but few by few they are getting brown spots. I will take an updated picture when the lights turn on

update: doesn't look too bad but still am noticing small progression

I am now with similar problem that I think is aphids. If you take more pics please include the underside of leaves. Looking at those pics has me thinking more pest than deficiency/toxicity.
 
Are aphids common on indoor grows? Also I heard those little suckers are much smaller then thrips and harder to spot. But I will post update pics of underside of leaves tomorrow morning.

update to previous post: I defoliated a small bit and ended up also snipping most of the leaves with those spots out. A day later I don't see any new leaves with spots which leads me to believe it isn't bugs? (They would have eaten new leaves by now right) also not sure if it's relevant or not but a few leaves have the tiniest bit of tip browning. ( the very very edge of the tip)(also isn't even brown just looks like a deficiency of some sort on a small scale)
 
If it's aphids, you can see them easily, mites make little holes in your leaves an you can't see them hardly at all.
 
Aphids are common, ubiquitous pests. They are less problematic than other leaf sucking parasites, but probably more common.
Waiting for underside leaf pics to really determine if your issue is parasite or nutrient. I will say, your problem does not seem particularly terrible and you seem to be right on top of it.
