Tiger's Den 3 - TRC Sweet 13 and PlanB Brain Warp

Thanks Bud, glad you liked it!

Quick Update:

I got a lot done today.

I got the new MH assembled and in place in its cool tube. Got the air pump for the cloner and got it a bubblin' away with a full load of clones (6).

Plus, I managed to tweak some things and was able to get the temps up in both the veg and flower rooms. Flower is sitting at a nice 68F, and the veg room is cozy at a balmy 82F.

Only issue now is my RH. It's absolutely wretched at 29% :yoinks:

But that I can deal with, basically boils down to more watering.

Feels nice to have everything going finally. Time to get down to it :joint:

The plan as of right now is to go ahead and flip the big SWT13 reveg over to 12/12 in about 3 days. I'm to the point now that I just wanna get moving. So either the SWT13 clones take this time (I'm 1-4 on cloning this bitch, hoping the bubble cloner will help sort things out), or they don't and I just lose the genes. Hate for it to happen, but things gotta move. If I can't clone it, I don't need it anyway.

Once the Brain Warp seedling get large enough, they'll be rinsed out of they're soil sprouting cups and put into DWC buckets. Once sexed, the females will be put straight into flower.

Within the next week or so, I'm going to pop JLP's Mississippi Mud and get them started. I have a feeling I'm going to be looking for a mom out of those, which is another reason I don't mind passing on the SWT13 genes if they don't make it.

Now, if the SWT13 clones do take, then we're off to the races. 4 of the clones will be put directly into flower after a weeks veg, DWC style. The other clones will be kept as a mom.

So, if all goes well, here's the Harvest schedule:

SWT13 Reveg
SWT13 Clones
Brain Warp
Mississippi Mud

Hopefully, it'll time out to about a month between harvest.

April 15 will be 60 days from this coming Wednesday. That's the day the SWT13 Reveg goes 12/12. Should be nice and dry just in time... :joint:

Good stuff nitetiger. It really is a labor of love. It takes to dang long to get seeds ready for flower.


Seems everything is falling into place, house situation, landlord, etc. Heres to a great summer harvest, and many more. :woohoo:

peace, mp

My PH meter just came in the mail! No more Drops!

:woohoo:

I'll be posting a small update here soon guys, the Reveg just started her 12/12 last night, and the seedlings are LOVING the new 400 MH.

Here's an update!

The Seedlings are loving the new warmer temps and the 400w MH, absolutely loving it :yes:

The clones, however, are not happy with the sudden loss of nutrition and drop in light. It's not as bad as it looks from the angle of this pic, though. It's just the leaves that are wilted, the stems are standing up nice and straight. I think at least two of them should survive. Actually probably 5 of them, one I'm a little doubtful over :D

The babies look happy! Too bad about the clones... :badday:

Enjoying it so far, learned a bunch from reading your stuff! :joint:

FlipMode - Meh, I'm not too worried about the clones, they're only 2 days off the mother, it's noemal for them to droop. The stalks are still standing up and a nice green, so I think they'll make it. Like I said, the pic doesn't really give you a good angle on them.

TimTim - Glad you're tagging along bro! Hang in there, we should have some buds here soon! :D

Mpro - Indeed it was! Now, if only one of the clones survive, so I can keep the genes available. You'll understand why when this girl gets to budding again :wink:

Hey Nite Tiger! Looking good! The clones' leaves can be cut in half to lower the amount of water loss. You can mist them with a spray bottle too. Hope they recover for ya! :canabis:

Yeah, I've been misting, and I actually think I've been doing it too much :bat:


Dunno why I didn't do it, I normally do :D

Also in the winter time, the cooler air is not able to hold as much moisture, so just heating up cold dry air isn't going to put moisture into it.....Dryer air would make them wilt even easier. A humidity dome or 1-2 L bottles over the clones would raise the humidity and help conserve moisture.

Yeah, I just put a humidifier in the room the first day they were in there. One of the steamer dealies.

2L is not a bad idea tho...

Went a lil S&M on the Reveg today. Bent her over, stretched her out, snapped a few limbs.

Then I smoked a bowl in there.

I felt just evil.

So, today, my new breaker finally arrived. :woohoo: We can get that extra 30A circuit in, and get a big heater put in the flower room. Which will be nice, since the small heater I had in there died today :badday: :pointlaug

Poor reveg is gonna get a tad cold tonight. Lights on temps were hovering at 58 :yoinks: So, she'll drop down a bit tonight, but I dont' think it'll be anything she can't handle. I'm still going to try to slide another heater in there tonight, but all I've got are big ones, and I don't think the circuit will handle it.

The seedlings are doing great, and the clones are perking up a bit, which was nice to see. Got the humidifer up and running a coupla hours ago (it had stopped working too :pointlaug ), so that should help too.

Oh, and the reveg got a dose of heavy veg nutes. After reading some more on Lucas formula, I realized that I should be doing 8ml in veg and 16 in flower. This might explain some of the poor results from the last run. I mentioned she was a heavy feeder a coupla times, so I think she'll respond very well to the heavier nutes.

We'll see soon enough :D

Oh, and today was my first day at my new job - passed the drug test :woohoo: Awesome job too, I couldn't have asked for a better one. (Well, except for as a Caregiver in Cali :D)

So, all is well in the Tiger's Den.

'Til next time :wave:

interesting about the lucas formula. would explain the lowish yield last time.

keep up the good fight :D
