"Farang"?? Lol... no need to guess which country you're in then??

Firstly, here's a pic of one of my girls which was taken on 1st June... [attachment=o285161] now they are much much bigger and growing fast.

One thing, I'ma bit worried about helicopters... any thoughts on this?

For spider mites, the best bet is to locate habanero peppers (small devastatingly hot peppers), chop them up very small with seeds then simmer in about a litre of water for 20 mins or until the vapour makes your eyes water. DONT boil. Allow to cool then strain it through some muslin gauze and spray it all over your plants. NOTE: wear swimming goggles and gloves / don't alllow it to go on your skin. Your plants love it, the spider mites will dissapear.
