Do I have russets?

My ladies are indoor under 4 1000w led lights over the clones. Clones a few weeks old came from a reputable grower in 1 gallon pots. Was told not to feed for 3 weeks so had only gotten water that had been ph balanced to 6.0. Also in tent were a few 4" pots with a shitty, hot, led grow light I was borrowing. I popped seeds in used soil from an outdoor veg garden that the lady mentioned her tomatoes didn't produce fruit *should have been a red flag*. The seedlings started to have leaf curl really bad. Then I noticed my clones had twisting leaves and the lower leaves were turning yellow. Tent temp had gotten a little high spiking at 94 with a humidity around 40% and one rotating fan. I fixed the temp by removing the shitty led light and ducting in air from under the building. Now it stays 68-73 F. I bought a microscope and saw little white/clear circles and thought russet mite eggs for sure. Now I'm not so sure after researching sessile trichromes. I havent seen a single mite under the scope. I started treatment of nuke em with the strong dose, have sprayed 3 times. And have sprayed wettable sulfur twice at a strong dose. Moved my seedling outside and some are doing better, some still have extreme cupping but all are growing slowly. First 3 pictures are from when first noticed before any treatment on April 22ndof my OG clone, GrandDaddyPurp clone, and Yeager seedling. Next three are from today may 13th. Last is a fan leaf under the scope. Are those eggs or trichs? Did I just toast them trying to get rid of bugs that weren't even there? Was it heat stress or maybe ph issues? GDP look better than the OG and are going to stay in the tent. I'm throwing the OG outside because they are so far gone. Any advice for this new grower?

I forgot to mention that these have been fed only twice now with a compost tea made from Down to Earth bat guano, alfalfa meal, langbeinite, feather meal and blood meal. I got the recipe from a friend who uses it very successfully. Tea was ph balanced just before feeding.
