Already thrown out, searched removed fans with my loop, no dung or signs of spider mites, did find what looked like a tiny light green egg sacks hang on the edge of a fan leaf right at the point of a saw closest to the stem

Did it resemble this?
Adults head straight for the tops (fresh shoots, very tender, yum!)spreading eggs the whole way.
You are looking where they have been and moved on. Took me 2 weeks to find an actually living adult broad mite with a computer microscope one time. Not saying you have them. Were the leaves shiny?

No, not really, the leaves are not turning yellow like that one, see the blotchy patches, that’s how it starts, by day 3 they are dry and crumbled.

Broad Mites, but you're not gonna see them with a loupe scope. You might see the egg trail and bite marks on the stem and veins of leaf. Will turn purplish mark later will turn brown. they bite and suck the nutrients from the undersides of leaves. Look for tracks up each side of the leaf stem and veins. If you see tiny balls in line up the leaf, they done been there. Those will hatch and off they go doing the same thing. you start seeing the damage 4th or 5th week of flower. Looks like nute deficiency, so you feed and you feed the bugs.
They explode!
Sorry
Yea, Broad mites. lol
Baron,
You can go here and should find an answer. There is other info besides Broad Mites.
Broad Mites & Cannabis - How to Identify & Get Rid of It Quickly!
Broad mites are tiny; they can be almost impossible to spot, and the symptoms may be similar to deficiency. Learn how to identify and get rid of them!

No to shiny leaves, just the opposite, this thing is an auto with maybe 3 weeks left to go. I have neem, insecticidal soap, and a wide variety of harsh chemicals I would never spray on something that I would smoke. I doubt at this point, that I will get much if any useable bud from this plant. So I am open to experimenting on her with anything and everything, so if anyone has any ideas, shoot-em my way. I’ll try about anything to stop this from spreading and for prevention in the future.

Not worm like, not fungus knats if that’s what you’re thinking, tiny little things roundish, would have never seen them with my old eyes, except there were so many and moving.

There are soil drenches that have essential oils like rosemary, mint, etc. SNS 209 is a pretty good late stage agitate. I feel like it disrupts them enough to give your plant a chance to catch its breath and make a good run for the finish. Not going to kill the bugs unless you go toxic...no bueno.

I believe it is 60x 1 gal pots.
I get it local for 28.00 per 3.8 cu ft bale.
It has always been a good clean product. Everything in it will break down.

Most of your "evil" insects hang out on the undersides of the leaves, fighting, feasting, and ff....procreating.
They like to be in a lower light, hidden area, that normally isn't disturbed. Building their army slowly staying hidden in the shadows and sending "sex scouts" mapping and "procreating" the whole way. lol
They make both, a soil drench, and a plant treatment.
I can't think of the name of the company at the moment.
My point above was concentrate on the undersides of leaves, the buds are pretty protected, so not as much spray will get on the flower if you are careful.
Turn the plant almost upside down if you can.
This when it would be nice to have a friend to help.
Sorry, I'm still stoned from 2012. lol

Yep. They are either camped under the leaves or in the soil....or both at various stages.
I use air pots sometimes. They are very susceptible to fungus gnats due to the amount of surface area soil sites. It's like the Death Star. Fukers flying out from all of those holes like TIE fighters. My new solution is cover in panty hose and top with Growstone Natnix. Works superbly. No mess like the D-Earth. Less random dirt flying out too. Let your babies get pretty dry and it's game over for those assholes.
The other two bugs I've dealt with are Thrips and Whiteflies. I'm finding Whiteflies to be the most challenging thus far. Tough bastards.
I've had WAY less problems since going 99% organic soil grow. Once you establish a healthy soil culture they really seem to be able to suppress the onslaught. Hormonal response?
These are just my observations. I'm no green guru. I still like to hit Popeyes from time to time

@mjw42 , @NoWaistedSpace , thanks much, my plan is to soil drench my NL tomorrow in the sun light so that I can see what all is going on with it. While it is out of the tent, I’m going to clean the tent with a mild bleach and soap solution, also going to follow @Jesselikes2Grow suggestion and examine the roots to see what is going on with them. I can’t see how it would matter, but I have only found pest in the plants that I sprouted in my incubator.

Dude, I live in south, Popeyes is a food group.^^^

Imo, your temps and humidity are too low. I didn't read all of the thread, but the first page. I see you are running led, 2nd grow, you might not know that you need your temps to be up into the mid 80's, and humidity about 60%. If you haven't heard of VPD, check it out.
I never posted on website before , and I have to say, I kinda like this Chuckers Paradise thing !
