For the pest experts
Looks more like bug shit to me.
Simple reflections?Not the brown spots those are probably dirt. The bright white ones
Simple reflections?
I’m only commenting about the bright features. I have no info on your main concern.Maybe I'm just paranoid but I doubt it. Everything I'm seeing is pointing to mites but I still can't physically see one with my 60x and 100x scope.
Those just look like cloudy trichomes. Mite eggs are larger but look like that too.
Any bug damage looking from the tops of the leaves? Mites leave random spots all over the leaves where thrips leave shiny looking patches that if larger look like windows in the leaves.

Sever damage that I've never experienced before. All happened within a couple days.
Now that looks like broad mites…
I've never had the pleasure of russet or broad mites but that looks more like a nute/pH problem to me.
If you can't find any real insects with a 100X scope I'd be figuring out your soil concerns.
Have you been spraying anything in case of bugs?

I'm no expert, but why do you ph your coco solution at 5.8?It's kinda puzzling situation. The plants were doing great under a 4 bulb T5 for a few weeks then I moved them under HLG 550 at 280-300 watt at 24 inches. A day later I sprayed them with insecticidal soap just as a preventive measure. I been feeding them the same nutrients since day one with no issues. Other than the light and insecticidal soap the only thing I did different was add fulvic acid to the nutrient mix. I been keeping the 3 coco ph at 5.8 and the soil ones at 6.4.

And growing under LED lighting is definitely different than growing under florescent lighting. Is that LED at full capacity? What are the temps and humidity under the LED?
You still can do preventative pest management.

Should my feeding schedule and nutrient strength remain the same or dail it down it down some?
I just had a problem moving some plants from under my DIY LED light down to the grow room to put under a 400w MH light. Started spraying for thrips and mites but took them out from under the light to do that. Fed them all with what I though was a medium dose of AN Jungle Juice 3-part I'd just bought while out in BC last month. F'n near fried my 3 latest Cherry Noir clones from a buddy back east and my GG#4. The two Pink Kush and the Earth Lover CBD plant loved it and are doing great. Repotting tonight I hope.

Different than what is happening with you but those f'ed up top leaves look like damage from the spray and maybe lights on them while still wet?
Anytime I have sick plants I dial things like feed and light back until they show improvement.
