There’s a few mites that resemble that, a couple that come to mind are mold mites or hypoaspis miles. Doesn’t look like spider mites to me

You were right mold mites ,Tyrophagus putrescentiae, looks like they doesn’t harmful but anyway there thousands of them

I grow organic with nothing but water, I’d rather lose a crop than use pesticides in flower but that’s just me. I would try predator mites like nematodes. Make sure you find beneficial nematodes (there are harmful ones). If these are in fact mold mites try to water slightly less, let your plants dry out a bit more than usual so they have nothing to feed on. Just don’t let em dry to the point of wilting. They probably aren’t going to eat at your roots. You’ll know pretty quickly if they are. If all else fails start naming them, that’s their home lol

Excellent. I have just cleaned my flower room with bleach and fairy liquid washing up liquid and finished it off with a large dose of sanmex fly spray. Left room for 24 hrs, aired it out, put new plants in and covered them in Phytoseiulus persimilus predators.
