Today is
Day 7 for these
Lil' Wild Lambs. I awoke to find them where I expected.
I mixed my soil yesterday in anticipation of transplanting today - And prepped my containers. One will be going into a 7 gallon fabric pot, and the other will be going into a standard Earthbox. This'll be my first SIP grow.
Here they are before the chaos began:

In my rush to get everything prepped and done between work obligations, I made a big damn mess and might very well need to start over. We'll see though. I'm not going to give up on either. Historically, I have never struggled with transplanting, but today I managed to give both girls a really rough time. With one, I just didn't get it leveled right -- so I basically had to pull the roots out and re-seat. I've done this before. I anticipate some slowdown while she recovers, but here she is in her new 7 gallon smart pot.

The Earthbox gal went down fine, but as I was trying to get her steadied (She was leaning hard), the clip that was holding her tie abruptly snapped off the Earthbox edge. It all went flying, and she lost half of one of her true leaves.
Fuck's sakes.

I'll come back with updates once they've had a couple days to recover. I'm monitoring closely and will pop new seeds if it looks like I've set them back too far.
