Where this is my first grow I am not sure how much of this is illness and how much if any may be normal..

It has been 4 1/2 weeks since flip to 12/12 I am feeding them with cana A/B about 1/4 strength along with calmag and blue gold hydro and carb growing in coco with 2 300 W led's and PH to 6.0..... this looks like a mite infection comparing my grow to pics on GWE... but I have taken several leaves off the plant and looked at the real good with my 30X60X scope and can not see of find any kind of mite, all I see are what look like trychomes both crystal clear and cloudy/white ones, but then again some of this looks close to a phosphorus deficiency? I am also seeing some pistils turning red/brown color like the pistils I see on buds when they are near harvest time. To me it also looks like the leaves have got a darker green color with a bit of a semi gloss look starting. some of these symptoms I see according to GWE points to to much nitrogen, so I may have phosphorous problems and maybe to much nitrogen. Another thing worth mentioning there was absolutely no new flower growth this past week they are the same size they were a week ago

So what I did today was I did a flush with a new mixture of soup. I did not use the cana A as it has nitrogen but I did use cana B, calmag, and Tiger bloom as it seems to have low nitrogen but higher phosphorous... guess time will tell but it will really suck to loose these plants after so much time invested in them.....any plant doctors out there that can help??

these 2 pics are typical of many of the newer lower leaves

Get a stronger scope. Look up the usb scopes on Amazon that go up to 500x zoom. They can plug right into your phone, tablet, computer ect for much better looks on a bigger screen. They're relatively cheap too. I believe 20 bucks gets you a nice one. Take a look all over with one of those then you'll know forsure if you have bugs. Take your time doing it, pull up a chair at a desk, turn on some tunes, look through several leaves off different plants and all over the leafs. Even the stems of the leaves. They really like to hangout there. The blistered, shiny look, hairs withering, growth slowing, are all symtoms of mites. Could also be other things though so get a old of one of those scopes and take a look.

And if it is Mites... How do you treat a Scrog Grow/ in flower??

Use pesticides that are safe for flower. Use Several different kinds of pesticides, mixing it up from type to type is the key and spraying every 3 days. Not being able to use some of the heavy artilery because of being in flower will probably prolong the amount of weeks that you need to spray for. And the trellis will make it a pain to spray under everything but you gotta do what you gotta do. Take the trellis down for treatments if you have to.

I'm no expert on pesticides and ridding pests, I just know a little on the subject because I'm currently treating for them so I've been doing a decent amount of reading up. As far as what's safe for flower, I'm not really the person to ask because I'm in veg so all the info that I've watched, read and gathered, pertains to whats safe for veg.
 
I have the new soup I am now feeding them... will have to wait a few days to see if it helps them out I think that the scope I have is pretty powerful 30X/60X and if I had some infestation I am pretty sure I would see it I will be watching close
