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.

It was around half a tablespoon diluted in a gallon of water and I drenched the plants. Just plain blue dawn, I keep a huge bottle around for a lot of different uses. I wont use it again but seems like I was lucky this time with the plants looking unphased by it. I’ll keep an eye on it in case signs of damage start showing up, hopefully it would be able to bounce back if that happens.

Still slowly changing the light cycle a bit each day until it is 12/12. I expect flowering in a couple weeks so I’m stopping the fish fertilizer and adding the calmag based on the manufacturer guidelines.
Blend A:
1/2tsp cal mag (starting with a small dose to see how plants are affected)
4tsp Big Bloom
2tsp Grow Big
2tsp Kangaroots (raised to 100%)
Blend B:
4tsp Big Bloom
2tsp Grow Big
2tsp Microbe Brew (raised to 100%)
