Nasty Lil bitches. I've had success using azamax by GH. I did a foliar spray, once weekly for three weeks, and got em. I mixed it at 7.5 ml/qt.
Then I used the remaining product on a later grow to knock out f fungus gnats. Apparently, stuff is effective on RAs and a couple other pest. Can be used as a drench application as well.

yeah burning the little fuckers did make me feel better
killing your infected plants and leaving others was a mistake. mites travel up to 15ft a day, you can gurantee your other plants will have them in a a short time but I am sure they already do.
Floramite, forbid, or avid. Any of those three work great. You were just making seeds you should have just blasted them with one of the three and been fine. The thing about using pesticides on mites is you have to be vigilant. Hit every spot, and then in a few days do it again. It is all about killing their entire life cycle. I have never had to use anything but floramite.
If you were just making seeds, throwing them out was not a smart move imo. Even if you throw out all your plants, 4 weeks later they can show back up. There is plenty of information here about battling mites, but Im would just stick to research on the three I mentioned. You can order all three in small amounts via ebay.

Don't know what your situation is but I think you jumped the gun by chopping immediately, especially as they are hard to find strains. Spider Mites aren't that hard to deal with unless you are late in flower, Root Aphids are a much bigger pain in the ass but can still be dealt with.

i still have the ones that didn't look infected two males eleven females

i had mites 2 runs ago.
mites appeared out of nowhere..i think its government nanobots..ha.
there was nothing for me to do,since i was broke and had no ride to the grow store to get the appropriate remedy for the situation.
yeah they hit me hard at the mid 30 day..12/12.
so i just chopped plants..disposed of said plants.
threw out the soil..scrubbed containers...bombed my grow area.
started over.
i was pissed at the time..
but i got rid of those fuckin bastards.
now all is well.
good luck..

oh I'm gonna get rid of these little bastards since its a seed run I'm going nuclear on these bitchs
LMFAO ^^^ Bout all you can do, lucky enough to never have them, knock on wood. I would definately burn some of em first. And if you have indicas lower your air temps, makem chilly and shit. Then play some loud death metal right up close so they can't sleep.
Peace
Everytime I have had to get rid of them one application of floramite has worked great. Suit up, mask up, do things properly. Make sure you are reading the MSDS sheets on the products you are using. Complete plant coverage, to include the bottoms of the leaves, which is most important. You really have to be sure to hit everything real well. After that is never hurts to have an army of ladybugs chillin in your garden waiting for unsuspecting visitors.
Yeah man I definitely would not have scrapped anything if it meant losing genetics. If any of my mothers got mites there is not a chance in hell I would chop them. Granted, I've dealt with them before successfully.
All the products mentioned here work well... I've had good luck with Azamax, to rid them and as prevention. To be sure you're getting rid of them, you need a good "knock-down" treatment such as Floramite (although I've also heard of other people using nothing but Azamax to rid the fuckers, I've also heard it doesn't work as a full on knock down when it comes to a full on infestation, and the instructions even explain this...).Then Azamax to keep them away, ~3 day treatments after the knock down, then dwindle down. Preventative sprays are always good too. I've used a cheap miticide called Natural Guard as a knock down and it worked great... it's also what I use to spray any foreign cuts that are going to go into the garden - as well as periodic preventative sprays of Azamax at low doses.
I would definitely be treating all of the plants in your possession. And cleaning up very well if you already haven't. Just because you only saw them on the 2 plants, doesn't mean anything. These fuckers are a species that has a common goal of rapidly multiplying to create a massive colony, and dominate any and every plant it can suck the life out of in your garden. Plants in poor health are also more vulnerable.
My last garden at a seperate location I had with a partner was infected with mites... and despite careful precautions to not transport them to my house where I kept mothers and clones... one day I was inspecting them carefully and spotted the little fuckers. I immediately starting treating everything in the garden... got rid of them... or so I thought. A few weeks later I spotted them yet again. All it takes is ONE EGG to re-infest. Not too mention how easily they are transported.
I'm sure you'd touched the infected plants at some point, then touched the "uninfected" plants at some point...
You say you checked the other plants in the garden, but I would not by any means be content right now. There could be no visible damage yet... but a couple of little sluts scouting through your healthy plants dropping eggs, planning a takeover when you least expect it.
Seriously.
Attack. Show no mercy.

^ yeah that
Also, floramite works for 3 weeks after using it so it helps prevent the population building back up. They can grow resistant to certain prodcuts like floramite and forbid overtime, by not spraying thoroughly. The young ones that make it through whatever treatment you do can turn into a superbug overtime. Don't be scared, as you should be, just be proactive. Order floramite, DO YOUR RESEARCH, know the MSDS, wear the proper safety gear, dispose of leftover pesticides safely, just over all be very responsible with the heavy stuff. I don't ever suggest the use of anything else, in my opinion azamax and many other products exist as a great bandaid but the wound will never heal. I have spent entires years throwing money at the suckers until finally I just bit the bullet and suited up. Now I keep suits and nukes on hand 24/7 along with a back pack sprayer
Don't ever spray floramite within a month of harvest and 6+ weeks would be better. No one wnats to spray buds anyways. Now would be a good time to read up on prevention and practice it.

i have successfully dealt with mites using neem oil at 5mls/litre as a soil drench. if you are using soil/coco or similar you will be able to avoid spraying anything as the systemic nature of neem will allow the plant to draw it up and distribute throughout the plant. it won't happen over night but within a few days or so you will still see the bugs but they wont' be active. to help i would also removed any heavily infested leaves.
keep applying the neem weekly at 3 - mls/litre and the mites wont come back. personally i hate spraying especially anything that needs high levels of PPE for personal protection...
