Bugs? Heat? Help!!

Hey guys, been a while since I have been on here! Past few harvests have been great, no problems except for a few fungus gnats but I brought the hammer down on those quick. I am entering week 3 of flower on a new batch, then tent is packed! I came across this one bud that looks to have some damage though. Initially my heart dropped and I thought it was mites, but I plucked some damaged leaves and scoped them... nothing! Still hasn't helped me relax lol. What does this look like to you fam?


Here is a photo of the whole tent, again this issue is only found on this one tiny ass bud among this jungle...


Here are a few shots of my Grease Monkeys that are finishing up for good measure...


Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated. Hope everyone is doing well here on RIU!

Those lights look a little close, what are the distances between them and the tops with the damage?

Yea these have stretched quite a bit but my last run was right up on them as well and had no bleaching. Checked the buds that are right up to the light and there is no issues, the bud in question is pretty low in comparison, maybe 1.5-2 ft from the light.

Should also mention that I have predatory mites and rove beetles in the tent already. Maybe I should release more?

Broadmites ... unfortunately have seen them myself. ( first pic ) .... those yellow areas are where the little fuckers suck the life out of leaf.
Twisted deformed leaf.

Any advice for moving forward? Just remove the infected parts of the plant? I'm surprised I haven't been able to see any with the scope... Also not noticing that I have any "shiny" leaves or twisted growth anywhere else... Would hate to have to kill the whole batch, these are/were some of the healthiest plants I've grown out so far.

Just removed some of the affected area and I don't see any bugs... looking with a USB scope between 100x-1000x. Checked very thoroughly. Anything else this could be?

After further inspection I think it's just wind burn. The affected top is literally right in front on a fan and I didnt put two and two together lol. Checked the opposite side of the tent and the top in that corner also has minor wind damage. Phew! Thanks to those who chimed in.
