Just buy a product for that, already diluted, it costs arround 5 Euro. I had Spidermites on my plants from early stage, and I got rid of them, but took some time.
First I used natural oils in the garden shope that you mix with water. I fucked it up with measuring so my leaves started dying after I sprayed them.
So some plants died, some survived, but I went to the shop and bought thing called "Terminator", the NATURAL ingridients mites killer. Depending where you live, they are called different. Ask in garden shop. Works perfect. Dont buy items with poison in it, you can kill the plant if spraying too much.

I lost my first two plants to the exact same thing. Wish I'd known then what I do now. Don't waste your time with sprays and mixing stuff because the mites are so very hard to get rid of that way.

Go out and buy No Pest Strips (~$12). The Dichlorvos is the key ingredient. The mites will have vanished after 1-2 days and will stay gone for > 4 months (long enough to more than finish flowering. As long as they haven't done two much damage to your plants already, they should be fine.
