hi, i am looking for help to identify what is wrong with my plants.. it seems i am fighting the same problem continuously for the last 6 month, it happens to every strain i bring in from different sources, or from clones taken by me.. Purple Kush, Sywalker, and now fire OG all showing same symptoms.. i was vegging with CNS17 before and now switched to Cutting Edge Solutions, but the problem doesn't go away.. clones look happy and then later on even before replanting all the sudden they start to look sick.. i've had some mold mites before, red soil mites (not sure if they were identified correctly) and spring tails.. all plants were thrown away, room was disinfected with bleach and i am starting from scratch.. no visible bugs on this vegging plants, there are few spring tails on mother plants that are in the same room.. i've added beneficial hypoaspis miles mites and i don't see any other bugs in the soil or on the plants.. there are some strange looking whitish spheres what might be egg on the bottom side of the leaves but they are so small.. size of thrichome and it might be part of the leaf .. hard to tell.. plants are in veg now and seems like they are getting worse every day.. i've sprayed them with Eagle 20 funguside, then Scorpion Juice, added some Aspirin tho the nutes.. nothing seems helping.. any idea?
please ask any questions - i filled the questionnaire.. hopefully it would help to identify the problem!
Thank you!

What brand Nutrient's are you using? CNS17, but just switched to 3 part Cutting Edge Solutions hoping changing nutes might help
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* - Micro 4ml/G, Bloom 4ml/G, Grow 8ml/G, Plant Amp 10 ml/G, Jncle John's blend 10 ml/G, Mag Amp 2.5 ml/g, Liquid Karma 5ml/G, Silica Blast 3 ml/G

What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"? - not sure
How often are you testing pH/ppm/EC/TDS? - every couple of days, Plant Amp because of organic acids brings ph down to 4.5 and then it's gradually goes up.. no ph down per nut manufacturer's recommendation
