Got any cats? Could be fine pet hairs, or, sometimes the trichomes themselves will pop or stick to something and "spin" like a fine web, I've seen that happen under a loupe on my fingertip. IMO though looks like fine pet hairs

The trichoms popping makes perfect sense. It does look like that. I couldn't find any pics on Google with this same problem.

Spent a bunch of time looking for the bugs. I could only find this thing.. Does anyone know what this is? Looks like a microsnail to me. Didn't know this thing would even exist. it has a shiny black shell, the 8 white dots on the shell in one of the pictures is the reflection of the Amazon microscope LEDs that I had on

Spider mites ain’t shit you can really do for em in flower. Looks like you’re gonna have to wash and make hash from this run. You’re gonna want to bug bomb the room the tents in and the tent clean shit up and start taking your shoes/outside clothes off before going in. You should for sure be taking preventative measures in veg too like neem oil spray, spinosad that kind of shit.

That's what it looks like to me. Mold would start near the stem. And with spider mites, in my experience, you would see damage/speckling on the leaves long before noticing webbing. And they usually hit the fan leaves first, not the buds.

The last pics you posted just looks like a piece of dirt, definitely not a mite. Is it even moving?

Plants look great btw! Yes you can cut off a piece to dry and smoke but you've got at least a few weeks before you should even consider harvesting the whole thing.

If you're not seeing more pest it could be a flying bug that was curious and got stuck in the sticky icky. If those are spider mite webs you should be at the stage where you can see movement and or damage with the naked eye.
