I have recieved clones from a friend who does full organics. He advised me that he uses predatory mites. My question is do you guys think these are predatory mites? Im pretty new to growing only a few harvests total and im a little worried as they spread to my 5 gal ffof pots as well. They move kind of fast to take a good picture

Looks like predatory mites but I'm no expect when it comes to insects.
Very cool, I looked at the pictures and they do not look like spider mites to me, you also mentioned your guys move fast and I have never seen a spider mite move faster than a slow crawl.
So I looked up Predatory Mites, they move fast and look like what you have going on. Here is an article on them:

It says they should disappear on their own when there are no more spider mites to eat.
Sounds like you got a bonus with your new plant.
