Diagnosis help needed

[HighLife]

I've looked and looked and looked. Took a break then looked some more. I cannot find another one. I know there's got to be more but if there was that many wouldn't I keep finding them periodically? Maybe we're all overdramatic about it I mean the pot I smoked 25 years ago had a bug or two right?

HighLife about the bugs.
Could be you got them in time. Are you checking the plant and plucking fans? If those are spider mites, the webs are easier to see than the mites.

If he's seeing webs his infestation is already at high alert and he needs to do something NOW!

I see no webs. I defol quite regularly and inspect just about every leaf with a digital microscope. I'm a little over the top about looking at them. I'm worried they're maybe deep in the buds which I can't necessarily pull those apart. I've pulled my plants out, put up on a table, stood on my head to look underneath the leaves and see no additional evidence. So close to the finish line! Agghhhh! Maybe it's the four fans. 🤔

Fans, you say? Ridiculous! I've never heard such a thing!
