I haven't had first hand borg experience, but it reminds me of that damage for sure.

I scooped last night but I didn't see any mites... Maybe I didn't scope enough area or it's possible heat damage?

Looks more like nutrient damage to me. Would it be possible to get some full-white lighting photos taken?

Not russet damage IMO. You would have burnt hairs and purple stems. Browning as well.

ill get better pics sorry for lighting i was in a hurry. i noticed also that it basically only 1 strain in the room showing this weird mottled leaf and deformities. the gg4, blue dream and others all look fine.

The breeding cycle of mites goes up significantly after you pass 80F'ish. The breed very slowly at the temps and humidity I flower at.

Reminds you from when you've never had mites agent pothead?
That doesn't look like russet mite damage at all

Yeah I've never had any mite problems, but to me the leaf damage and shape very much reminded me of mite damage photos I've seen in the past. Since you are pretty sure what it isn't, do you have any idea what it is?

I have no idea what that is they seem to be doing okay. Broad and russet mites work from the bottom up and you'll scope them. I wouldn't worry unless they start going downhill.
Agent pothead, I'm just saying I wouldn't be throwing out opinions based on a picture I saw once. This scene is full of people running around fucking things up because they got their knowledge from some guy on a forum. You have a lot of posts use your influence responsibly

I'm wondering if it could be from a heavy dose feeding and this specific strain didn't like it. I left town for a week due to an emergency and my wife got overzelous with there feed at about 1.7 ec when I usually only feed 1.2-1.3

Bro I honestly don't know what the deal was. I'm thinking either genetics mixed with nutrient burn. I see no more signs of any mites.

leaf curl looks like too much N.
This is 100% nutrient issue. Not a mite issue. Mites will be coming soon however.

That's actually good it's not mites
It's hard to tell, the pictures are HPS yellow, but nitrogen toxicity would also cause shiny, dark green leaves.
