I need help figuring out what problem I have here!

I agree it looks like it could be nutrient problems from the picture, but if it's bugs you definitely want to eradicate them!
There's more pictures of thrip damage on this page to compare if you want more:
Often you can identify thrips by the little wormy larva on the leaves - they're TINY

O no! Looks like Borg To me! The cupping is due to heat or light stress move lights up. As for the tiny livestock kill them with alc. and water mix 9to1 in sprayer spray under and on top of leaves (doesent harm plants) repete every other day and put some sand down on top of soil this will keep them from crawling around and reproducing ! Lol
Just from what I can see, and considering you don't see any spots or wormy things, I'd guess it's something to do with watering or drainage, since the leaves are also droopy. When a plant gets "wet feet" it can start getting nutrient deficiencies even if the pH and everything else is going well, because the roots aren't working at 100%.
Can you walk us through how you water your plants? How long is it taking to dry, and (if you've noticed) is the droopiness the worst right before or right after you water?

Kyle1116, I have found similar 'spots' on my current grow. Using a 40x loupe, they look like little translucent jelly beans, also, there were short little white strands or filaments. I first noticed 'cuts' and 'tares' in some of the leaves. I later found a bug (dead, at least) on one of the leaves, it looked similar to pictures of adult Thrips, but much darker brown in color. I used Azamax (10ml) directly in the reservoir and began a foliar spray on the leaves. I sent pictures to a friend, but He did not know what it was. The adult bug was so small, I could not get a clear image of it on my phone camera even with a 20x lens attachment.
here's some pics that I did get, if they may be of any help to you.

I have had thrips before on my raspberries and strawberries. I thought maybe they were aphids because of the clear body. But joulers loup showed a bug just like thrips and nothing else of the like. I used pyrethrum a few times and got most of them. Pyrethrum has been a golden natural pesticide for me. Its helped with aphids, spiders, fruit flies, thrips. So far so good. I also use a spider mite pesticide that seeps into leaves and kills the pests that eat them. Very handy.

The critter that I found had longer legs and slightly larger wings. It was barely visible with the naked eye, I wish that I had not removed it from the leaf with the tweezers (mangled it badly), the photo (at 20x magnification) I took did not show much detail. the color of the bug was close to the second photo.
The best thing is that I have not seen any more damaged leaves or the 'jellybeans' or the bugs since I started the Azamax foliar spray.

Maybe like this one? Thrips get wings in a different stage of life. In any case, sounds like you eradicated them!
