Lastly How have you been growing for "twenty years" and never heard of Swirski Mites?
Have you even heard of Gillispie (doubt it)
Look these things up if you want all natural if not meh well
DAY AFTER SPRAYING FOR MITES, CLONES LOOK TERRIBLE! SEE PICS!

You seem knowledgeable (not being rude just I have never met you in person is all) proper conversation is very important for me to determine intelligence. But ya I'm not meaning to be rude.
Dont leave the help section. Share your knowledge, help new growers like my self (yes I'm very knowledgeable about cannabis cultivation and have had growers in my life for years and years but I can be shown a cockpit 1000 times but I'll still ask a few dumb questions in my first few flights but I ramble) dont give up on new growers. Dont let your knowledge leave with you! Help people help me help whoever needs help. Help will always be given to those who seek it.

I cant tell if your implying I'm not really doing this cannabis thing for real? Or that I'm relying on 5-7 biology information?
Only asking for clarification is all I'm too tired and sufficiently suffonsified.
And I read often I think everyone should read often. I shit you not I just finished the Iliad by homer for the 3rd time. Probably my top book if not anything by Tolkien.

I buy neem oil from Lowe's. Not sure what stores you have around you... However, I've only used it on my houseplants. Great stuff!

they were for me.
Bottom line: they used way too much soap an almost killed the poor girls. That is the subject at hand. Right now , there is no pest problem, the only problem is me an you going at it for no real reason. No , i have never heard of either of those mites you mentioned and i am interested. No shame in my game. Im not an internet guy so most of my mite knowledge came with experience. I do not recall reading about those species when checking on predatory mites and i aint done that in prolly 10 years ish. The ladybug thing was only mentioned as an example an im sure you knew that.
Im very open minded an always ready to learn new stuff.

That sounds reasonable, as I don't have a real "fight against you".they were for me.

For everyone in this thread. Depending on what pest you have you may want to start again fresh. [Broadmites]
Spidermites and fungus gnats/ thrips you can come back from with
These predator mites go after larva and adults.
Gillespie are good for going after
In the pupae
[Thrips hatch from an egg and develop through two actively feeding larval stages and two nonfeeding stages, the prepupa and pupa, before becoming an adult. Late-instar larvae change greatly in appearance and behavior and are called prepupae and pupae, ]
The original posters plants didn't have any webs on it.

I'm a big fan of bio controls. But sadly my lady friend does not like "bugs". No matter how I present it.
I'm not suffering from any pest issues (knock on wood).
I often use bios outdoors in my vegetable garden. I find setting up a health ecosystem both rewarding and beneficial.
I have always thought about a "living grow room" the idea of setting up a well rounded ecosystem in a indoor grow room. If I ever win the lottery the things I'd do.

My plants will bounce back. Slow but they will. Tops are light green and showing new growth. Thanks to everyone with their help. The real problem like @getogrow said was I made a crucial mistake and sprayed with way too much dish soap. A pure mistake after not growing since my 20s. I even googled the amounts to use.. and it didn't work. I used the search button @Lightgreen2k.
I could've probably let the mites go until I put them outside and let nature take its course.
@Lightgreen2k .. thanks for your help. The mites you suggest I have looked up. And if I did a full indoor grow, I would be interested in using them. However. My plants will eventually go outdoors. I never had issues with mites last year, as in summer here Ladybugs would find their way to the food source. Knock on wood. I have a strong feeling the mites were on the clones. Either way.. my only suggestion to you sir/madam is maybe have more patience next time. From the first post you accused me on not using the search button? Really.. really...
You have a serious issue with assuming things. I'm not perfect. I dont believe anyone is. But you might want to look in the mirror before you start to criticize or put down others.
To everyone else who commented I appreciate your response.
