Avid is the way to go. It is used widely by the pot industry to kill spider mites.
I will no use anything unless I see the mites. Buy a cheap portable "microscope" and check the leaves for mites. You an not see spider mites with your naked eyes.

This is a whole bottle of Avid, but you can buy a little bit on Ebay. This thing is deadly.

I had a look for Avid but looks like it's only sold in US (but made in NZ), the active ingredient looks similar to this local product Stealth

I've been trying to spot the mites with a magnifying app on my phone, I'm sure to spot one soon. Do the pictures look indicative of mite damage?

@Fredmax. Yes, it is the same active ingredient.
You can get an small amount on Ebay. You do not need much for a plant. Again you can not see the mites with your naked eyes. You need 50x to 60x to see them and still they are small at that magnification. When there is a really bad infection, the mark left are black

This is what the damage of spider mites looks like.
