Well Luke you are being very methodical. I cant see to much wrong with what you are doing. You have to remember though, as your trees grow so will your plans so i think first and foremost get them set out how you want and then get them growing.

i agree bodhi, since i have began taking photo history and progression sets on all of my trees, i have become quite methodical 'shrugs' :D
iv chosen a plan for this display, and i was so close to potting them up earlier! but wire planning stopped me! :? ;) Im going to sleep on it all for couple nights.
cheers :)
