Hey RakonGrow! Looking at those zoomed in macro shots it definitely looks like you have some kind of pest hanging around. That little brown cocoon shaped thing actually resembles a pupa and could even be from a beneficial insect like a hoverfly. But that tiny translucent bug right next to it looks suspiciously like an aphid or a mite. Since you are already in week 6 I would highly recommend not spraying any heavy stuff on your flowers. Your best move right now is to carefully pluck off the leaves where you see these little guys and get them out of your tent immediately. Keep checking daily with your microscope and if it gets worse you could look into introducing some beneficial predatory insects. Keep a close eye on them but do not panic just yet!

That cocoon-like shape on the back of the leaf strongly resembles a moth pupa or thrips pupa. The tiny white specks under magnification look like insect scales, sap residue, or early-stage thrips larvae. Check the undersides of multiple leaves to see if this is an isolated issue or a spreading infestation. Manually remove any affected leaves that contain these visible cocoons or larvae immediately. Spray the plants with Neem oil or insecticidal soap during the dark cycle if you find active, crawling pests.

The leaf deformity can be various things. Genetics, PH imbalance, Calcium/magnesium primarily responsible for cell functions. The things on your leave just look nasty, I have know idea what they are at least 1 things looks like it could be and egg? The closer we look at our plants the more shit you notice. If this is an outdoor grow your bound to have things like this on it ✌️👍

First 2 pics show damage similar to what a "leaf miner" may cause. The macro pics are just dirt in my opinion, not bugs...........bugs would be obvious to the naked eye and not need 300x zoom to see. Damage is not related to any sort of "VPD" issue, Leaf does show signs of much too much fertilizing going on though...............

It reminds me more of VPD stress. In other words, the relative humidity in the box was changing quickly. From high to low. If it's just a few leaves, I wouldn't worry about it. But I don't know what the snail is, whether it's some kind of cocoon or just a mess. But if you find it on more leaves, it's probably some kind of monster.

Sucking insects like aphids, thrips, spider mites, or psyllids often cluster or feed on one specific side of the central midrib. Their feeding extracts sap and injects toxic saliva, stunting cell growth on that half of the leaf, causing it to curl or distort.
