Check the leaf bottoms more than the tops. Here's some info that might help:

Yes I have not added any new soil. The only thing I have added was more bio char (all Natural charcoal) and red lava rock. I have about 4 gallons of aeration in each pot but nothing new as in soil or ammendments
I looked on bottom leaves top of leaves stems cut down a whole top section even the "bud" and see nothing. I had my wife look and she does not see anything either. The link says 10x-20th scope but I am using a stronger scope. were would the mites come from. It's a sealed room never been outside or close to any other plant. The soil has been outside while cooking. Only the 2 center.plants in room are/were affected.

I was thinking the smart pot it self, the weave too tight (poor drainage), if washed, not rinsed well. ect.
Did you use your water can for anything else, are these two plants the first to be watered from the can/wand. (maybe a contaminate fell in)
Sorry man, I'm just trying to give you some ideas....

Only two plants in the center of the room, possibly a hot spot from the lights?

Thats what I thought. looks like they bumped the light but the buds are at different heights.

so they were transplanted and then 2 of the plants showed an issue ?
Sounds like transfer shock, I`d be looking for bigger issues but if its not spreading then some B-vits and bennies should sort it out
Did you damage the roots or anything when you potted them up ? Plus its easy for the root zone to get effected when you transfer them.

Sorry anzo, hope I didn't lead you astray. I've seen that weird new growth on plants that grow up against a greenhouse ceiling, and on pics of plants that have broad mites. I'm having trouble imagining a hot spot in the middle of your room and your growth below is so healthy that it seems like a pest or disease issue to me. I hope you get it figured out so we can learn from your experience. Good luck!

PMD is powdery mildew. It generally affects new growth first and the damage that it causes
looks a lot like that. If, in fact, it is PMD I would think that you would be able to see it by now tho if you looked for it.

I went from 2 gal pots to 15 gal pots. I had clover growing in pots as the soil cooked when I transplanted I dusted with my kosher made a hole slide it in and agitated the soil from 2 gal pot a bit after places into 15 gal pot
Yes even the bud sites low and close to stalk are showing same sign. It's only like at bud site. Every were a bud would for it.look like that every tug else is great

I see mites all the time with a strong magnifying glass. This looks like a root problem. How long ago did you transplant? Do you always go from 2 gal pots to 15 gallon pots? Poke holes in the soil with a bamboo stick, and give the plant time to get over the shock of being transplanted. The soil may have been too hot when you did it too which the roots would not like. New growth should come in ok. You are on top of your game, nice to see.
this is actually my first time ever for 15 gal pots. I always went from 2 gal to 5 gal pots. As I rols or no till and was running out of nutrients towards the end of flower so I switched to 15 gal smart pots so that way I can just top dress pots and put new plant into same soil. I run a few random out doors in smart pots.I use a catalytic carbon filter and sediment filter as well.

Yea, man. I agree with Blaze. If you cant find signs of pathogens of some sort, then just wait it out. One of two things will happen. The problem will correct its self, or it will show more signs and become easier to diagnose. Either way is a step in the right direction. Since the plants seem to be otherwise healthy and you may close attention, I would say the risk in letting it progress a bit farther is relatively safe.

How about some more shots of that grow room?! 
Lol I don't no if I have anymore I'll try to get some though. I was using while room to.flower in but I cut it in half and built a veg cabinet to go on other side. I'll get some pics up later. Getting dressed with daughter gettingfor ready for churchHow about some more shots of that grow room?!

smart pots love to hold water at the base, i'm wondering if you got a pool of water that won't dry on those and their feet aren't drying out.
Yes that could be as there are sitting on the floor. I have a pond liner cover floor with drains in floor for water to run out. I will figure a way to lift them as before I was using buckets and no problems but buckets are every so slightly elevated off the floor
