I am thinking it likely is a result of the hot soil you had it in causing an imbalance in nutrients. Watch it and see if it continues appearing on new growth over the next week.

If it’s white with wings that fold over the back like a tent, it could be thrips maybe, but might also be nothing if there is only one

Need oil is supposed to work but I have never had issues or needed to use it.
Do a search on here for Thrips and you should find some helpful information

Alright matty, I've used neem oil to get rid of thrips before, it works great.
If your gonna have bugs then thrips are one of the easiest to deal with,they're even a bit thick,if you shake the plant a little they literally fall off. (Put plant on some old news paper out side tent if you do that).
You need 100% cold pressed neem oil,some soft soap (gentle soap like kiddies) and some warm water.
1 litre of warm water ( not hot just warm)
4ml of been oil
2-3 small (tiny)drops of soap
Mix together(shake to infuse ingredients ) in a spray bottle.
I put the plant in the bath and sprayed the whole plant, make sure to get underneath the leafs too.
Repeat in 4 days.
Also I put sand over my soil to stop them crawling from the soil back to the plant,you can get some glass stuff to cover the soil that cuts them if they try but I managed to do with the cheap version.
Honestly Matt thrips are easy compared to mites.

Yeah, just normal soap but soft ,not fragranced poncie stuff. I can't remember the brand I used, I'm sure it was for kids,as natural as possible.

You only use a tiny bit of it, honestly 2-3 Tiny drips of liquid soap.
It's only to make the oil mix with the water and bond with the leafs.

Got some dr. Schimmel blitz from my local hydro store said it works for everything so fingers crossed
Give this a read.
the tips aren’t a worry. What it is, is nute burn. Like it was mentioned above. It’s minor tip damage. Just dial your nutes down next time your feeding them. Unless your in a super soil, and your not feeding them nutrients.
