The reason you are not finding any bite-marks anywhere is because there ceases to exist a bug that consumes the pistils of any flowering plant, let a lone cannabis. Certain pests and environmental issues can certainly cause pistil death. Sounds to me like your plant is feeling some sort of stress, since your pH seems good and you are seeing no bugs, i'd start checking environmental factors.

Any suggestions? Not doughting your theory about bugs I would think that a bug of some sort would at lest take a bite here or there I'm super stumped I've been using same feeding/greenhouse/ water for yrs never seen this very strange and had two very very very growers look at it and they have no clue I am wondering is it possiable that over feeding could cause it the only thing I can think of is I feed twice in s row instead of water water feed but there is no sign of over feeding no burnt tips or anything all help is greatly apprecated I'm gonna flush heavy tomorrow and start back at square one thanks bro

A pH of 5.8 is great in soilless; I prefer about 6.4-6.5 in soil. A well-established micro-herd will make nutes available in a broader pH range. You seem to be doing all that. Are you SURE your water hasn't changed?
No light leaks?

My guess would be the foliar spray. Maybe citrus guard? I m curious to what the issue is. I seem to recall a similar issue I had a while back.

Could be hemp russet mites. Are the pistils dying from the bottom up or the top down?

Check for root aphids if possible. I have the same exact thing happening, pre flowers were looking great but then they darkened out and practically vanished @ week 3... never seen anything like it. It got one of my atf's real good and my gsc mom that I flipped. Will show some pics when I get back to my comp.

damn bro, nice way to hit with a biological combo! make sure u keep taking preventative measures on those. I did a similar mix when i noticed my shit, seemed to help big, thats y i thought it was a bad root aphid infestation. actually re-potted a plant and did find RA within the root ball. keep up the doses with azamax and strong teas cuz there is always a few little fuckers that didnt die and next thing you know, ur losing hairs during week 6-7!
