Hey hey! UserName, Stepinrazor, you made it at just the right time :D

Don't have to suffer through the agony of the "Hunt for the Seed Killer"!

On a positive note, things have indeed (finally) launched in the veg room, and holy CRAP, that DWC is going like MAD. I'm kinda frightened of it :D

So, with all good indications, the MM babies were flushed with plain RO, then fed thier first dose of light nutes. They had already put out some new growth in the last few days, so all seems well.

DWC girl will head to flower very soon, or else I'm gonna have a problem with an overgrow me thinks. I always knew DWC was fast, but holy Jesus!

Pictures will come tonight, or at lunch (just to rub it in one more time :muahaha:), depending on how hungry I am :D

As promised, here's the lunch update :)nanana:)

Here's the veg room, sorry for the darkness, had the wrong setting on my camera :bat:

Check out the DWC girl :wink: See why I'm concerned? :D

If not, you'll understand from this pic of the Swt13 Reveg in the flowering pod. Remember how I said she was trying to claim it all for herself? Well, you can see her touching the wall on the right. See that heater there? It's on the left wall :yoinks:

51213-15swt13rvd291212.jpg


And look at her stacking on the buds! Much much better since she's not struggling with low wpsf. Looks like I'll FINALLY get a harvest to do this girl justice!

This is on day 29, so she's got at least another month. Yeah baby! :joint:

Til next time, :wave:

Hey NT, looks like things are finally starting to come back to life. Your DWC girl is starting to look really nice. In a month from now, I'll be wishing that I could be smoking it with you. Those buds are gunna be huge. Still cant wait to see what your new beans are gonna do. Things are looking good, Keep it up NT!!!

No hurry

No hurry

Sorry NT,
Its not that I'm in a hurry, but I have always been very interested in the TFB. I like to watch how it grows as it comes from my favorite strain of all time which is MTF. Too bad we cant get any more males from the strain. Only females to play with. Gotta have the right friends to be gifted clones. Anyways, I hope everything goes well for you, and when you do get a little room in your veg chamber, I'll still be :lurk: and :joint: learnin a thing or two from a respectable grower with great knowledge.

About time for another update, isn't it?

And, I feel a bit odd about this update, because it doesn't have anything negative in it!

:woohoo:

Everything is doing great, all happy and healthy!

Let's take a look at something we haven't seen in a while - A happy, healthy veg room!

BrainWarp says ROAR as it attempts to conquer the veg room. The MMs next to the say 'peep' as they add another layer of growth.

The DWC girl flexes those powerful nute juice muscles

And the mom sits in the back, finally growing some new babies.

Meanwhile, over in the flower room, the Flowering Swt13 keeps packing on weight like she's gonna go for a linebacker slot in the NFL :woohoo:

51213-18swt13rvd321212.jpg


As a plus, we've hit the downside of the flowering curve - she's passed the 30 day mark! At day 32, she's looking great, and just to give you an idea of how many buds we're talking about, check out the top view :woohoo:

51213-18swt13rvd321212topview.jpg


Ah, it feels so good to have things dialed in and under control. Plus, as an added bonus, since using the R/O water in the DWC, my PH has become much much more stable.

Ti'l next time :wave:

Time for another one!

Veg room is looking great! The sativa is coming out in the BWs though, stretching like crazy, even though the light is right above them. The MMs and the mom are looking great, and got a better position to get more light.

Did you notice why they got a better spot? :wink: Look who's over in the flower room now :woohoo:

51213-21swt13Ad01212.jpg


This is officially Day 0 in 12/12 for her. She'll get her first 12 hours of dark tonight, and I'm really excited.

Especially when I look next to her and see this

51213-21swt13rvd351212.jpg


This is our Reveg, obviously, and she's up to day 35 and looking fantastic!:woohoo: As odd as it may sound, I think she's missing her small CO2 dosage she was getting. I had been keeping 'ghetto wine' brewing in there, with a hose run right up her stalk to the branches. I haven't had one in there for the past few days, and I would swear her growth has slowed a tiny bit. You wouldn't think it would make that much difference, but I'm convinced she's missing it.:confused: But we'll find out soon enough, more 'wine' will be going in tonight, for both of our flowering girls!

Til next time :wave:

I hate to ask and show just how little I know, but I would rather have the knowledge instead... What do you mean by "Ghetto Wine Brewing" are you really fermenting grapes in there with yeast? or is this another technique that I have never heard of before?

Oh and I almost forgot... Things are looking really great NT. Im surprised to see that the re-veg is coming out so nice. Was there any foliage on it when you started, or was it all stalks?

Oh, when we harvested here, we cut her down hard. It had maybe 1 or 2 tiny busites left, and maybe 2 leaves :D

The ghetto wine brewing is, indeed, fermenting grapes. Well, actually, I cheat and use 100% Grape Juice. I add about a cup of sugar and one packet of Fleischmann's yeast. I wrap up the bottle in black and white poly, drill a hole in the lid just big enough for some airline tubing, and run the tubing up the plant. Let it brew for 7 days, then bring in the next bottle. My wife, the wine drinker, is loving it :D

Can't beat CO2 for $6 :wink:

Nice Work NT ...ya I could see the wine bubbler might have some effect on things. As for the wine though do you cover the carboy from the light? Does it effect temps or have you noticed?

Peace man...good luck with her

Thanks BG!

I don't cover the tube, and haven't noticed any problems, and haven't noticed any temp change.

NT no I meant cover the glass from UV light. Isn't that bad for it? in the past when I made wine it always bubbled in the basement out of the light as I thought that to be the right way...if ya thought I was a rookie with growing you should see me with wine...don't ask me for advice man.

I seriously wouldn't know but thought it best out of light is all

Hello again Nite Tiger,

congrats on the start of 12/12 for another one of your ladies. :yes:
nice to see that the re-veg girl is cruising along fine and generally budding away to it's hearts content, lol. in fact she must be at least 4 weeks in by now right? so not that much longer and you'll have some fine bud off her.

any news on the seedlings?

peace and good growings to ya.....:wave:
