Possible Broad Mites?

I have 1 strain in my veg room that has some very slight taco-ing:

Its only this strain, OGR Wifi-Alien, all three phenos show it. I have some bubba and a Mr nice something or other in there as well plus a few seedlings of cookie wreck. Nothing else shows it.

I dont really trade clones with anyone recently, maybe 6 months ago i acquired some back from a friend. The only thing i have done different is bought some seeding mix from lowes, i noticed it has old roots in it so i'm guessing recycled...crappy.

I scoped the best i could with a crappy carson type 60-100x scope and what i found on the bottom of the leaf looks like a milky trich without the stem (or i cant see stem). They seem to be perfectly round and not oval. I do not see the pattern for broad eggs on it.

Now what plants i do have in flower are the mr nice, they show a calcium def, but im using ro water with GH flora 2part and may not have quite got the ratios 100% yet. I dont see early pistil dying or anything like that and other than calcium issue everything looks normal.

1. Are there trichs under leaf?

2. Is this type of scope capable of showing the pattern?
here is a link to see it:

3. Can they come "pre-installed" in soil? ;)

I have ordered a digital usb scope but it probably wont be in for a week or so, i will grab some captures of the undersides when it arrives.

I can also grab some better pics tonight of the plants themselves.

Thoughts?
