Trichs absolutely can and do grow on the bottom of leaves. And I think that's all you're seeing. Especially if you see it on the bottom of every single leaf.
Yeah, I dont think those are eggs dude. They're too evenly spaced. I think you're just looking at glands there, and I think you were probably right in your original suspicion from the start. Too much free Ca and P together likely caused a jammer.
Do you know I how to unjam a jammer? Should I try to flush the jam away or break the jam apart?
I tried flushing one of my plants yesterday with 1gal of a citric acid solution (2grams) followed with 1gal of ACT and a tsp kelp. It contorted all sorts of ways after that, but now it looks great. So the flushing method seemed to help it, but also traumatize it. But I used citric acid, I'd use slf-100 next time, or reduce the citric acid dose to .5gram.
Non glandular trichomes are all over a plant, this type of trichome does not serve any function in regards to protecting said plant from UV-B rays. That is the purpose of your glandular trichomes. Glandular trichomes such as the capitate sessile that you think you are seeing serve no purpose on the bottom side of a leaf in any plant species. Why? Because the bottom of a leaf is not subject to UV-B rays so plants will not waste energy producing glandular trichomes there. The only thing you should be seeing on the bottom of a leaf is a non-glandular trichome.
I'm done here, they're your plants, what do I care.
“Bulbous trichomes appear on the surface of the entire plant but are so small (10-15 micrometers or microns) that you won’t see them without the aid of a microscope. For reference, the width of a human hair is 40-50 microns.”

Non-glandular trichomes are hair-like extensions resembling leaf hairs, with a slender pointed apex. They protect the plant from its environment, mainly through physical means (e.g., restricting access to animals and insects, preventing water losses or light degradation, and fungal infection)They are bulbous trichomes. Never saw the term non glandular. They are all over the leaves on some strains. The underside of the leaves. When i was new i thought they were spider mite eggs but i just had deficiencies because i didnt know when to feed.

Bulbous trichomes are non glandular
I had to delete my last post doctor because I'm still vacillating, my gut feeling is there eggsThe leaves I have been looking at are indeed cover with these non-glandular trichomes. They also seem to have capitate-sessile trichomes. Perhaps this is not common - even among cannabis cultivars? MAC has made a name for itself partly for its sheer resin density, and I want to believe this is a example of that. I also don't want to believe I have an infestation. I'm trying to be aware of these biases, but I am also trying to be objective with my microscope.
That said, what I am showing you is what you have seen yourself during cyclamen mite infestation. This is particularly alarming. I am left to hoping that you would see it differently than I am presenting through my camera.
My little hand-held microscope goes to 120× and I don't see anything that looks like those on my leaves?
If these were underneath my leaf I would be concerned! I still don't know for sure, but my gut feeling is they're eggs :/
I just had a look under mine with a 60x. My violator kush and platinum cookie moms have them all over the underside of the leaves. Totally look like little eggs. But they appear pretty small under my loupe. Sorry, no pic tho..

I'm going to follow along quietly, please let us know how this ultimately turns out, hopefully this will work out for the best for you, good luck!
