So yea anyone got an idea? I see webs as well so I'm thinking spider mites?
Are your plants suffering or showing any phantom nutrient deficiency? If so, it may be root aphids. They leave a residue that looks like that and can also be waxy in nature. I fought those for the better part of the year. I did not even know what I had? I thought that my growing skills were slipping because it manifests itself as a nutrient deficiency at first. The bugs remain under the coco soil or medium for the most part. One will not see them until it becomes a bad infestation. I would have still been chasing my tail if I had not stumbled across a thread on this forum. I swear just by this forum that I have at least 100x the knowledge of some of my friends who went to that Oaksterdam and paid thousands. Anyways if that is the problem, I recommend either scrapping the grow and start from scratch(trust me it will save time and headache in the long run), or going "nuclear" and using the Bayer total insect control that can be bought at Home Depot. Happy Gardening!!
The borg do their damage above ground, so keep on the lookout for webs underneath the leaves and little yellow spots in the middle of the leaflets.
Sounds like you do have some sort of fungus or algae growing. It's not 100% certain that it will attack your plants, but root rot is a bastard to deal with once it gets established, so I'd probably deal with it now.
You have a lot of options and it's hard to say what will work best. I'd start with peroxide and work my way up to something like sm90 or Physan20. Actinovate is also getting good reviews: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=239283
