Yes they would . You can try lady bugs or another natural predator mite . If the infestation isn't too bad.

I have sprayed all under the leafs with cold water I red online I’m going to go and check them tomorrow morning fuming as I’m only 6 weeks and a few days off harvest but I’d rather start over then get shit weed
 
You still have quite a few weeks left in flower my friend like GeneBanker said I would not throw those girls away by no means
I would use Neem oil like was told in previous post. Also remove them from the grow room Get 91% isopropyl mix it with hot
water and spray walls and floors down, if their in there they won't be after you do that wait a couple of hours fans on room is
sanitized your good to go. Don't start over they look to good man!!!
 
That's is well fixable, personally I'd be looking for something that killed mites eggs and all, I wouldn't fk around with lady bugs or any soft approaches.

Apparently dish soap and water can have an effect on them but idk?

Those plants look a very manageable size. I'd take them into the bath tub/shower. Grab the shower head if you have a flexible one and shoot water up the under sides of the of the leaves to knock the mites and eggs off. I do this regularly as a preventative measure and its way easier on the girls than sprays. That being said it's something you have to manage the fuckers will always seem to come back.

Control your temps mites have a reproductive cycle of 3 weeks to maturity at 24 degrees Celsius vs 3-5 days at 30 degrees Celsius.

Another thing you can do is get a small vacuum and vacuum the under sides of all leaves.

I wouldn't use Neem oil during flower since it's gross to smoke.
On vegging plants and moms not too bad as you'll shed all those leaves by the time it flowers. I used Safers insecticidal soap when pruning/bathtub isn't working. Two sprays 4 days apart.

Also if you spray and products on the girls don't do it during lights on as this will burn the plants. They need time to dry before getting the light
 
Hot Shot No Pest Strip/diatamaceous earth kills/gets rid of/prevents reinfestation.... the fuckers. One time years ago was enough for me...thoughts of getting a buzz off spidermite carcasses burning with my buds just wasn't appealing. Kinda makes ya wanna make sure ya buddy takes the first hit!
