Help! Something is eating the canopy

I've added a few more pics with better quality.
Sometimes I see something resembling a spec of dust flying around. Nothing on the leaves except a few more are eaten the same way.

@SuperSkunk , do you have a magnifier to get a visual on the bugs?
Like @stepside said, thrips may be the culprit. Other good products are Azamax , or any pyrethrin. Be sure to really hit the undersides of your leaves, and a wetting/sticking agent will give you a lot more bang for your buck.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have a magnifier.
I checked again, and there is something flying around but too fast to catch or get a glimpse of. It's like a white spec of dust.
They're already flowering so I don't want to spray anything on them. I did hang up a yellow sticky agent which I hope will lure those thrips.
I'll look into the Azamax. Thanks for all the help.

From your description, I think @stepside nailed it with thrips.
You can wipe your leaves with Neen and a paper towel as well. Azamax has never left a taste that I can detect, but I never spray after my 10-14 day flush has started, and I avoid getting too much overspray on my flowers.
Full disclosure, I used to be a heavy smoker, so maybe my taste buds are a little messed up.

... 
SS-- did these markings come out of nowhere on a mature leaf? They look older to my eye, with those yellow margins; are the markings raised up a bit, or are my eyes tricked?... earlier damage maybe-?, which can grow out oddly sometimes... That said, this isn't thrip damage, not with actual holes, only a larger bug could do this, and the rest of the damage doesn't look like the surface stippling that thrips leave from all the piercing of the cuticle... usually, it's certain caterpillar species or even earwigs that eat holes in leaves like that, but again, the margins don't look right for this... is it on only 1 or two leaves? This isn't a nutritional issue either,...
