This is the infirmary, post pictures there including environment description etc and you will most likely get help fixing your problem.
Take pictures while lights are off or take a plant outside the room and take pictures of it there so it's not under the HPS lights.
I know you don't want to hear it and it's a tough decision but you may want to scrap this batch and start fresh. It's gonna be a disappointing harvest otherwise. This strain is already a low yielder, even in good conditions. You've passed the initial budding stage and it's gonna take weeks for them to bounce back, plus you still have mites. Sometimes you just have to accept the loss and start over. I know the feeling trust me.
I'm [not?] surprised it took 43 posts for someone to say this??? I would have scrapped the room after seeing the first closeup pic. You are chasing bad money with good, extending your suffering and making it worse. With something of this scale you cannot afford to spin wheels and waste all your energy on remedial work, things will fall apart quickly (already have). Those plants are way too sick to produce anything worthwhile for the rest of their life, and all the attention in the world won't get them on track. Hell I cull weaker clones just for lack of vigor compared to the pack - yours are almost dead. And if the mites are only 'reduced' then be ready for complete annihilation at the end (if those plants can even grow flowers at this point). You guys fucked up big time, and now you have the option to make it worse or reset. If I was interviewing this place for consultation, my requirement to help would be start over with new cuts or no deal.I know you don't want to hear it and it's a tough decision but you may want to scrap this batch and start fresh.

Herb is being blunt about it but he's right. Don't be offended either we're here to help. This is the best advice. You probably won't even cover the costs of this cycle with the harvest you'll get from those plants, not to mention the pain in the ass to even get rid of it. You're only a couple weeks in so it's not a total loss. You must start with clean healthy clones or you won't get far. At that point we can help you with every step and you're pretty much guaranteed a good harvest if you follow good advice.
I would recommend that you take it to harvest; it is the best way to learn. However, when you are selling the product, there are some moral & ethical issues which I don't want to touch hah.
Your plants are calmag deficient, but it might be from stress. The stress is from the mites, the temperature, and possibly root rot. It is hard to isolate the problem since you have multiple things going on at once. The temperature is too high for OGs (in my experience, if you're growing OGs, room temp should be about 78 degrees).
Your humidity is low, but that would not cause the leaf problems that you have. Higher humidity is something you should strive for in optimal grow room conditions and you're far from that.
I would continue to spray your room with azamax. Spray every 3-5 days. Even if you don't see eggs or webs, they are still there. I don't have experience with Nuke'em.
Feed with 150% strength calmag and see if it clears up your issues. You should be using 20% more A and B since you are using DE fixtures. I would feed like this: Full strength, full strength, flush, repeat.
Is your room sealed? This chart shows the ideal ranges you should be shooting for. The orange is where you want to be.

Also you need to stop overfeeding and stick to a basic feeding schedule (maybe just calmag, bud a&b) and learn how to correctly measure EC and ppm. Don't ever feed just RO either. You should be feeding with every watering.
I don't want to add conflicting advice, but personally, I would skip adjusting the humidity. I consider it one of the last factors and depending on your area, it is hard to keep humidity at the right levels. Your relative humidity isn't *bad*, but it isn't ideal either.
You have a lot of other things you need to focus on first. Controlling your mites and IPM is priority. Your rooms are too hot. Lastly, getting familiar with how to water your plants is something farmers develop by feel. It takes years to master. You have to find out how dry the pot/medium can get without the plant wilting and also how heavy the pot is when it is saturated with water. Then you want to be between those 2 points at all times. The plants will drink more or less depending on what week of flower you are in. Slowly in the first 2 weeks, drinks heavy week 4-6, and slows down again at the end. Again, this is all by feel and experience. No book or internet forum can teach you how to water correctly.
