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%)

A couple weeks of spider mite treatments so far, plants are looking great.
Here is the AK47 treated and watered. Did some more pruning and defoliation after this pic was taken

I see pistils!
Fox farm instructions say to switch out grow big with tiger bloom at first sign of flowering, so going forward my fertilizer blends will have 2tsp of tiger bloom instead of the grow big. Also stopping foliar spray and ordering predatory mites now. A friend recommended Natures Good Guys, she had a lot of success with these for her spider mite issues. Amblyseius andersoni, says they target a variety of mites including spider mites and perform well on indoor plants with heavy trichomes.

Plants are looking great, buds are forming, predatory mites are doing their thing. I upped the calmag to 1tsp. I’ll update with pictures in a few days

3 weeks into flowering. I plan to defoliate soon before the buds start putting on weight, redirect the energy to the bud growth.
Also the predatory mites seem to be doing their job. Spider mites have pretty much vanished as far as I can tell.
For now here are some pics:
Inzane:
Bubblegum:
Gold leaf:
Inzane 2:
White widow:
AK47:

They must be putting on some weight now.
Thanks for sharing.

They are getting thick, lots of trichomes. Probably a few more weeks to go

So far only the Gold Leaf looks like it might be ready for harvest. No more white hairs and some of the trichomes are starting to turn amber under the jewelers loupe. currently stopping fertilizer for this one to flush it out for a week or two before I chop it
Edit: also making a note for myself here, starting the flush of the white widow now too. I wasn’t sure because I didn’t see any amber trichomes yet, but they are looking milky and there’s no white hairs anymore. The buds are looking pretty thick too.

Harvested and did a wet trim of the gold leaf and white widow. Saved the trim for edibles
The other plants still need more time, but I think AK47 is close. Going to start the flush of this one and keep the others on the regular fertilizer schedule
