@JohnnyShake Your opinion on whether or not I should LST or not and how would be appreciated as well if you want to shed some knowledge.

Put em under your LED asap. Then let em go nuts. The more light, the bigger and badder they will get. Don't leave em outside much, unless you want to possibly deal with pests. I wouldn't worry about LST'n until you can grow some dank, then you can figure out increasing yield and all that fancy stuff. Keep it simple for now if you notice who grows the dank on this forum, it's without LST or complicated nutes schedules. Letting nature do its thang. But that's just one stoners opinion.
@StraightKRACK, you are at the perfect stage to start LST. I wait until I have four whorls of leaves, then bend her over. I use pipe filters and run one from the edge of the pot and attach to the plant right above the cotyledons. This is just to hold the plant upright while I take another pipe filter from the opposite side of the pot to the top of the plant and pull her over to nearly horizontal. You may have to pull her part way one day, then a little more the next day or so. Check out my THC Bomb and BPK grows in my signature, I LSTed both those grows and have pictures. LST is certainly not rocket science and will double the yield of your grow. Tuck big fan leafs underneath the growing tips so the growing tips get full access to your light, You should be able to giver her full lighting at this point. Hope this helps.
If you put the LED back in, leave it up to like 30 inches or so, your girls look like they could use a little stretch. It will help during LST to get the branchs out above the fan leaves as quickly as possible.
Thanks heavy

Hey @StraightKRACK bro. I agree with the guys above get the led in there and if its still to hot move it up another few inches.
Your doing a good job man! If you dont feel confident doing some lst then just try some leave tucking like hm suggests.
And like hecno said, if in doubt just ask. Happy growing brother im subbed up now

I apologize for updating so quickly but I made more changes and wanted to update you all. I decided to pull out my man card and built a cfl growlight using vent ducting, bathroom light fixture, 2 chains for hanging, pack of quick links, threader rod, 8 ft tool replacement cord, and a couple washer and bolts. Paid about $55. Have 2 x 42w (150w equivalent/5k bulbs) 2 x 55w (200w equivalent/2700k bulbs) 2 x 42w ( 150w equivalent/2700k bulbs) and 2 x 23w (100w equivalent/6500k bulbs).

Received my ph meter storage solution and ph buffer today and still currently waitng on the silica to help strengthen the babies against heat, pest, and overall health. LST going on as well. Will wait it out until after their next feed before I add Led and may throw a scrog in there

LST is looking good. Watch those lower branches start shooting out in a few days. You got a great grow going on, keep up the great work. 
So I've realized that the bottom layer of coco may have been a bad Ideal. The new growth on my lady in the root builder pot is coming out dry and somewhat brittle. My top soil seemed to be dry three days ago but from the looks of my plant, I didn't look as if it needed a watering so I wanted to wait. Then, it was just a portion of the soil but today the entire top of the medium is moist. I've moved the other plant outside and it's doing way better than what it was inside and is not having the problem that the one inside is. I've made some bigger drainage holes in the pot to help dry the over saturated soil and will place it outside for a few hours in hopes that it will assist as well. I will post pics in a couple days. Stay tuned....
Good luck to you. I was wondering about that medium setup, was wondering about wild pH swings too with the coco and the soil. I think each will have it's own pH. Do you have a pH soil probe? It would be interesting to push the probe all the way down into the coco, then do a shallow reading from the soil and compare. Might work out super and you just invented a novel new grow method!! Best of luck your way friend.
