My fishing buddy bought me a fly rod, but I still haven’t practiced with it yet. My brother in law says it’s the best kind of fishing.

It’s a Cortland FairPlay, fairly common beginners rod I believe. Unfortunately no practicing for me this year, threw out my back a few weeks ago.
A year or two ago I was catching rainbow like crazy, nearly every cast I’d pull one up, some were nearly two feet long! Went back to the same spot a few weeks later, and didn’t catch a thing.

DO NOT USE DAWN!! What you want to use is a potassium based soap, not a detergent. Dr bronners Castile soap is what I use, about 1 tbsp per gallon or so iirc.
Also, try to identify the bugs. If they are aphids, you’re going to want to take a different approach than if they’re thrips.

I’d start with the dr bronners, spraying twice a week for three weeks or so, being sure to hit every surface of the plant. It helps to rub new growth tips between your fingers as you spray them to ensure full coverage. You can also add spike lavender essential oils, as well as peppermint or eucalyptus, I believe all three help deter the mites, but it’s possible to overdo it and harm the plants so use sparingly. The citrus bronners should be fine.
Predatory mites for flowering sounds good, green lacewing eggs wouldn’t be a bad idea either, but they’d eat the predatorys as well so plan your use accordingly.
Spider mites are one of the easiest mites to get rid of, but still not easy. I’d subject your houseplants to the same treatments so they don’t come back.
And as brains mentioned, the hardcore miticides work, but will systemically poison your crop. Some growers over at the shroomery have been recommending them to people because they believe it’s safe if you wait three weeks, but this is simply not the case. There’s a reason their use is banned in the legal market.
Oof, hopefully you didn’t use much of the dawn. It can damage the leaves quite badly.
