Did you recently obtain a clone from someone? Are you seeing leaf curl? Looks like you’re in for a rough ride. I’d bet money those are broadmites (what some would call Borg) Sorry man, been there done that, there is not a “good” solution. Other than shutting down your grow for 6 months, you can beat it but it’ll take a strict diet of whatever you chose to treat it.

Mould mites are attracted to the mould/fungi that live in symbiosis with the plants roots please don’t think I was saying you have budrot etc as that’s not what they come looking for lol.
I’m seeing more and more posts in the last 5-8 years on RIU about these mites.
I’ve had them before and thorough dry out of the grow room along with clean down helped to eradicate them.
Didn’t notice any detrimental effect on the plants etc so I would assume they are not a pest as such but if they are mould mites they cause allergic reactions to humans and pets due to their long hairs on the their backs etc.

Broad mites don’t tend to have the long hairs on their backs like these have.
broad mites tend to be “smoother” for lack of a better description lol.

Cucumeris are awesome! I think thrips or whiteflies is what they specialize in.
