Are these Broad Mites?

Hello friends,

I've got a blueberry plant that's been giving me trouble this past week (currently week 5 of flower)

First I noticed the pistils were turning red too early but I couldn't find any signs of being a hermie. No nanners or pollen sacs anywhere. I checked symptoms everywhere and found something online about broadmites potentially causing this. I got a 60x lens and I think my girl has some, can you guys help me confirm?

I have a closet tent so I'm currently try to heat up your tent to 115F for 20 min method. Do you think it's worth it to keep this plant or should I chop it and start fresh?

Growth has been slowing the past few days. Honestly I don't see any deficiencies in the leaves, I became suspicious when my plant started getting red hairs too early. I have yet to see any male parts and I read somewhere that broad mites can cause this so I got a lens and found this buggers crawling around under the leaves.

I had em once. It fucks with the new growth. Skinny and curved leaves. I cant tell what you have, looks like white dots, but nukem kills broad mites if you do have em.

I just set my tent at 112F for about 15 min. I noticed a lot of dead mites, but also some still alive so I plan to do it again. I definitely noticed my girl wasn't to happy about it though :/
