Greetings and Salutations 
fans! I've floated around here for a while now and have decided it is finally time for me to begin a journal. These are not my first plants but I am by no means an experienced grower. This will be a very simple, basic grow. No fancy training will be involved. While those highly trained plants are incredible I haven't the dexterity for that,... maybe someday. 
So, what are we growing? We have one Harlequin, Sammy. She was the one and only viable seed from my first colloidal silver project. Something killed that mother plant and it was way beyond me to save her. It was such a bummer but I got the one seed and she's really looking pretty good. Not perfect, but good. She has vegged forever (first of February) in the tiny closet in my laundry room. (I call the laundry room Mt. Washmore...) Sammy vegged under an old style TopLED 100 x 3w until 6/21, and was in super soil that had about 50% recycled from the previous grow. I gave her a moderately heavy defol then she was potted up into the soil mix Sweetleef put together in a 3 gal. tall plastic pot. This will be replaced with another cloth pot in the next grow. More on the soil in a bit. It is worthy of it's own post to discuss it's loveliness. Truly.
We also have one HarleSin clone that Sweetleef left with me Sunday. Toni is for our next seed project. She is in a 5 gallon cloth pot that Sweetleef made and filled with that gorgeous soil.
Her tops got pinched or something in the shuffle Sunday but I think she will work it out. I'll keep an eye on her.
In an effort to keep from rambling too much, I will add just a few more things. The girls are now in a 4x4 'space' that Sweetleef put together, or enclosed, for me with some furring strips and panda film. It is not yet light proof, which will be dealt with over the next couple of weeks. I also need to decide on exactly how to finish the 'door'. I believe that will end up with a zipper...and we left the panda film long in case we have some adjustments to make and to keep light out at the bottom. We hung my new Mars-Hydro 144x5w, a nice upgrade from my first light, but not enough for my entire space. We just placed the plants accordingly. Due to my physical limitations, things are still trial and error as to what setup will work best for me. Things are subject to change without prior notice, but probably not!
I've not done very well at all in my effort not to ramble on, but I would be remiss in not thanking Sweetleef. He always goes above and beyond for me and is the reason I get to have these amazing plants in my home. Sweetleef is pretty amazing for a creepy little brother and you will be hearing his name again. We flip to flower on July 12th and I am excited to get it moving! Thank you so much for stopping by! Pictures to follow!

I wouldn't miss this for All the Tea in China! 
Great Intro and Sweet Setup! 
I am happy to see you! I have so much catching up to do today. I will pop over to yours and check out the girls in a bit!
She has twisting leaves. I had her in a complete soil and had begun to supplement with cal-mag for her last two waterings before re-potting. I have not given anything except water, on Monday, waiting to see how she adjusts to the new soil, room, light and defol. She's had an eventful week. It is my hope that once she gets her feet into this new soil things will turn around for her. For now I plan to just watch and see and give her a bit of time. My highest temp we've reached in the new room was today, up to 86. Low of 74. RH high of 57, low of 45, a bit on the low side for veg.
