Haven't a clue if it was thrip damage. It did take FOREVER to open, it was full and ready to pop for about a week before it even bothered to open. I think the uneven color was all that was really wrong with it. I assumed that was due to watering it with treated water during that period it wasn't open, but wasn't fully closed either.
Will have to check some others to see if it is thrips or not
