Hey tatan. I've been messing around with my watering since the getgo and have finally gotten to a good schedule. I think they're doing fine now. Thanks for stopping by man.
I've got an update coming tonight. These two have taken off since being in the new soil.

Whaaaaatssss up?!
So. The plants are now 26 days old after sprout. Things are looking good so far. I think these two are right on track. All growth is healthy, which includes a lot of new top growth and some lower growth as well. Since I put them into the new soil, things have looked up.
I've been reading alot about the SCROG method, and I really want to try it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to. I'm afraid I might mess something up if I try it, but I guess there's no better way to learn how to do it than to try it. If I do, I'll be using a combination of LST and SCROG. So, we'll see what I decide to do.
Thai (Pictures 1-3) My Thai plant is looking beautiful. This one has definitely shown way more growth than the Sour Diesel, but I think that is because the SD is still in shock from the transplant. Either way, I love to see the new growth on this one. Plenty of top and lower growth, and starting its 5th node, so I'll be starting to train this one this week sometime.
Sour Diesel (Pictures 4-6) My Sour Diesel plant is on the less attractive end of the scale, but I have confidence that this one will bounce back fully. As you can see in the pictures, I have been doing some clipping and pruning, trying to keep the dead or dying parts of leaves removed. It doesn't look quite as bushy as the Thai plant does, but I think its in shock from losing part of its rootball during transplant.
Picture 7 - Overhead of both in new pots.
So, let me know what you guys think about these two little ones. I would love any info or input on the SCROG idea. Peeaaace out duuudes

I need to find myself some hooks. Looks to me like that is working out well for you. Anyways. I'm not going to be delving into the cloning part of it for a while. I want to make sure I can grow it first.

Yeah, I lucked out and found some in my basement. I'm going to tie my Thai (Hah, Tie the Thai) plant right now. I'll post some before and after pictures along with it.

Whats going on guys? I was only planning on updating my Thai plant and the LSTing I did on it. But, I noticed that there was some new growth since yesterday so I decided to go ahead and update both plants.
I'm 27 days in since sprout and things look amazing.
Thai:
Here's a snapshot of my plant before I did anything.
Second picture is the first tie I made. It's close to the bottom of the plant.
The third picture is the second tie I made. This bent it pretty much horizontal.
Picutures 4-6 are of the finished product.
Sour Diesel: (Pictures 7-10)
This one has started to bounce back really nicely. I think it has grown out of its stress and is going to start taking off into the new soil. The last picture is another overhead, like always.
So. Let me know what you guys think about the LST job so far. I'm going to need to add some more hooks around the edge of the pot, but I just put as many as I need at the moment.

Thanks alot man. I'm good friends with the guy who gave me the seeds and he said they're all feminised. So, if he's right everything should be smooth sailing from here on out.
