imo - if you are hitting the plant with something, try pyrethrum 5ec (you can also drench the root zone).
Two or three applications (over a week) does the trick. Residues are minimal and disappear in a short space of time.
A trick in flower stage; with light driven strains (not autos). you can drop the light cycle below 12hrs (say, 10 hrs). Mites usually stop breeding below 12 hours, so will all/mostly die off in a week or so.
*edit*
adding diatomaceous earth (from the start) to the soil helps. A layer on top of the soil is good too (sand could be used on top of the soil also).
Sprinkling a thin layer of diatomaceous earth on the floor around your plants (better suited to tents) helps out as well
