So I decided to buy a mini pocket microscope bc I had deformed leaves and holes in my leaves , and I found these little white egg looking things . I have 11 plants and they are on all of my plants and I haven’t seen one mite and I’m sitting here for hours checking each plant . I’ve been spraying neem for a week .. it’s week 4 now and I don’t know what to do if they are mites can there be eggs and no mites ?

The eggs look similar to what I have experienced for the last 4 grows. None of the grows got past 5 weeks from seed. I believe they are broad mites or russet mites. I don't see too much damage on your plants though, I'll check again!

look underneath your leaves for cell damage and little white skeletal things, mites shed their skin and change form.
If those were eggs i would definitely expect to see some damage from the mites themselves so no mate I don't think they are mites eggs.

mites hate moisture so just spraying the underside of your leaves with plain water really helps piss them off, if you are still not sure if you have them a warm water and nicotine patch and "rosemary essential oil from the health food shop" spray works well but has to be rinsed off after an hour.
If they are prevalent in your environment maybe choose strains with high resistance to mites and bug bomb your grow space when you get a chance.
peace out and i hope that all is well for you man

I vote trichomes also. I see that on my plants and I scope constantly ever since dealing with russet mites. If you see no mites there are no mites. No immaculate conception in the insect world.
