Are these pest eggs?

i am not certain if these are eggs or something else? I've researched to see if perhaps they were natural glands, but all i seem to find are trichomes and these do not look like trichomes. The plant has only been 12/12 for a week, and i saw these in veg as well.

i've been battling mites and even though i haven't seen actual adults lately, i have been seeing these.

They really look like mites eggs. I would check with a stronger magnification cause you could have broad-mites they are like 8 times smaller than spider mites and much tougher to identified as they leave no web and the damage they cause is often mistaken for fungi attack or nutrition unbalance

Oh, and Ive also done one heat treatment, used the No Pest strips and set off a pyretherin fogger last night.

I'm thinking about a series of heat treatments, 3 days apart from each other.

My plants seem to be suffering similar symptoms to the pic you posted.

I don't really have access to anything with higher magnification. I'm using a USB 150x microscope so I'll just have to keep playing with it, see if i can spot a moving adult or more eggs.
