Take better precautions next time, use preventative measures in veg. 1 week into flower so you really don't even have white hairs yet, I would say Azamax would still be ok applied every 3 days for 3 cycles... so if you started today you'd be using your last dose around day 17 which should be fine, just spray the fuck out of em. Others might suggest using Mighty Wash as its got barely any chemicals but costs A LOT more for same results, however might be a healthier choice.

Not doomed hun-- just have a helluva job ahead..
1st-- get either Azamax or Mighty Wash... use according to directions (with Azamax- use the ratio for Berries)
2nd --also get some Ivory dish soap... 3 days after using either of the above- spray again with a mild solution of 1/4 tsp Ivory per qt. Water
3rd-- Next day-- spray down with plain water
Wait 3 days and do it all over again... it can take up to 3-4 rounds of this to eradicate them!
And just treating the plants is not all you have to do...
Every day- mop with bleach water, be sure all dead leaves are kept picked up, increase the humidity AND air movement in the room, and lower the temps if you can....
Make sure you have NO air coming directly from outdoors without filters...
Do not allow pets in the grow area...
NEVER go into the grow if you have been outdoors, handling other plants or pets unless you change your clothes and wash your hands-- AND mist your hair with water-- they WILL hitch a ride!
We got infested-- more than once-- because they can come thru the duct-work and we have pets... so we find dog/cat hair in the grow room even when we NEVER allow them in the basement at all-let alone in that room!
Once they are on the plants-- the egg cycle takes 3-5 days, and they lay eggs within hours of hatching... so gotta keep hitting them.
Good Luck!

I have been using a product called "Dead Red" for the past 3 years.
Its applied to the underside of the leaves and has been the only product that has done the job in my experience
