Gotta clean that garden brother. Mites are no good but I can't see that necessarily be the culprit. No over feeding or anything? Just tossing out possibilities

I'm organic so yeah, the garden is dirty.. but far from dirty.. my rooms and all equipment are thoroughly scrubbed and sanitized weekly. As for nutes, I run an amended soil mix in #10 pots supplemting an occasional tea, in the past this has taken all girls to the finish line without any observable issues.

Genuity, that's what I'm thinking. Hopefully the girls that are a few weeks behind make this an easy decision in the end.

Natro and St0w, Hypoaspis Miles are exactly what I suspect (picture attched for reference), so I've allowed them to co-exist with my setup. They seem highly uninterested in the plants, and they exist in my recycled soil bins so they cant be surviving off of the plants. They also aren't hard to see with the naked eye, and from everything I've read it seems harmful mites such as broad mites can't be seen clearly without a scope.

Fucking broad mites. A few months and plants I lost to those bastard insects. They are invisible to the naked eye but the damage they cause certainly is telling

That sounds like a goddamn nightmare. So basically, if I had broad mites, I'd know for sure?

You'd see damage to the leaves, pitting circles that slowly grow. The normal green is replaced with a yellow/red. You don't notice them in veg as they desire a dark period.they breed very fast but travel slowly. You'd think it might be a deficiency at first glance

How can I find out whether or not they're present? I've had a few fans showing slight deficiency, but I attributed that to not brewing up a tea in a few weeks.

30x or higher scope/loupe. Do you have damaged leaves? If so take a picture

Where on the plant would I have to check? 3 LC which all seem similar in pheno are yellowing a bit, usually everything stays green until chop only fading slightly at the end. Figured this was also due to lack of tea, and these girls root the f up, so watering every other day has barely been enough. I believe the heat generated from the new light is drying them up way faster. 90% of the room is benefiting from it, but all other girls aren't nearly as rooted as these LC's.

TY, do you have any pics of the broad mite damage from your garden, or would you be willing to post up a google image of what to look for?

Ever since I heard you talking about these bastards I start thinking every blemish I see on a leaf is the borg
 
I noticed a fan leaf on one of my plants doing this. Kinda freaking me out....

That's often genetic...

Broad mites are extremely apparent in early flower as they attack new growth. Most pistils will brown and die off around week 3 If the infestation is severe.

There are several types of mites, but these are the most difficult to spot and identify.
