Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Virgin Ground]

Time for the Monday update!

Both seedlings are still alive(!) and transplanted on Saturday- the Chem Dawg (photo, 12 days old) into a 1 gallon,
and the Alaskan Purple auto(10 days old) into it's final 3 gallon home.
The Gelat.og auto is taking well to the quadline training, and remarkably,it's not flowering yet (29 days old)
I've begun adding a little Silica Blast to their feed- I have on good authority ( Thanks @InTheShed !) that silica is good for the plant's structure, and it helps make the plant more resistant to pests and other things that you don't want happening to your plants...so we'll see how/if it works.

Here's the Saugaview®...Gelato.og on the left, Chem Dawg middle, and AP on the right.
I wasn't going to grow another AP right away...but I managed to kill the last Pink Kush seed,so I didn't have much choice...
The Gelat.og is getting 4g/gal Mega Crop, and the little ones are on 2g/gal.

Same thing,different angle:

One of the arms on the Gelat.og auto split into 2 branches...the last two autos I've grown both had a double buds on them, looks like this one is going for the same thing...
So I'm trying to spread them apart a little...double buds look cool and all,but if they're too close together, they don't really do very well.

Not much else going on in there, so lets take a look at the outside girl:

She's continuing with the "maybe I'm flowering, maybe I'm not" thing- she put out nothing but funny leaves for a week or so, then yesterday, more pistils started popping out. She's 102 days old today, and 49 days into flowering/not flowering. Fed 6g/gal of Mega Crop+ 4ml. Silica Blast/gal.
Only 16.5 inches tall, possibly thanks to her Low Ryder mom.

You can see what I'm talking about here:

All the sugar leaves have a black border on them- doesn't mean a thing, but looks pretty cool !

So she gets to keep growing till she makes up her mind what she wants to do...

And that's about all for today!

Thanks for Looking!
And thanks for the support here, and in the Nug o the Month contest!
I appreciate you all , please stay safe out there!

Congrats on your win darlin.
I'm a bit behind. Trying to catch up with everyone.

Thank you carcass. I thought it was Sunday.

Everything is looking sweeeet carcass keep doing what you doing

 

[Carcass]

Thanks for that info, farside!
I'm set for awhile with silica, but when I use that up,I'll use your recipe to make some more

What if the whole thread is full of misinformation

To be fair,I also made some assumptions that I should have researched further before opening my mouth!

Congrats on your win darlin
I'm a bit behind. Trying to catch up with everyone..

Thanks VG! I hope your friend had an uneventful evening- we had some looting/property destruction go on last night too,down the street from my Daughters house...here's a direct Quote from an email she sent us:
" Walmart by home Depot just got looted. Fucking idiots "... yep, she's a wordsmith, just like dad!

Thank you carcass. I thought it was Sunday.

I thought Sunday was Friday,so there's a lot of that going around!

Everything is looking sweeeet carcass keep doing what you doing

Thanks, Smokey...I'll keep doing everything except the "killing seedlings" thing-I'd like to stop doing that

 

[VetSmoke85]

Hey friend! Been a while but I'm going to get active on here again and hope to start the next grow soon. Good to see you're still going strong.

 

[MrSauga]

Thank You,Mr Sauga-I was way off-totally missed the buffered soil as the reason for not pHing the water-
I checked my soil (Black Magic) ingredients, and it is not buffered...so it's a good thing I've been pH ing .

Here's the Saugaview®...Gelato.og on the left, Chem Dawg middle, and AP on the right.

Congrats on NOTM!!!! Nicely done!

 

[Carcass]

Congrats on NOTM!!!! Nicely done!

Thanks, MrSauga!
And thanks for setting me straight on the buffered soil/pH thing- I've done a lot of reading on here, but the word "buffered"apparently went right over my head(?)
I'm either going to get some Promix HP for my next grow, or make some of @farside05 's faux mix-
depends on what our crappy Home Depot has in stock....
They don't sell my usual (unbuffered) Black Magic soil anymore, so I've got to switch to something!

 

[Carcass]

Been a while but I'm going to get active on here again

Great to see you, Vet!!- How are you and the family doing? Staying healthy,I hope!

I'm still at it...hell,I wouldn't know how to act if I wasn't growing something...
Be sure to tag me when you get something going-I'd love to see what you're gonna do next!

 

[MrSauga]

They don't sell my usual (unbuffered) Black Magic soil anymore, so I've got to switch to something!

I did look it up on their website and it has lots of good stuff. I'm surprised they wouldn't go the xtra mile and throw some humus in there. Their FAQ's are really hit and miss on their pH'ing answers.

 

[Carcass]

It's always worked well for me, but I guess HD didn't sell enough of it to keep stocking it.
It also comes pre charged with soil gnats (always a treat) so I won't miss that !

 

[InTheShed]

Congrats on the NOTM carcass! And you no longer have seedlings...you have plants now.

 

[candycane]

Congrats on the NOTM win and the girls are looking fabulous as always!

 

[Pbass]

Holy crap I fell off at page 117...but nothing changed...I love your work! Congrats Mr. C your shit is DIALED!

 

[Carcass]

Congrats on the NOTM carcass!

Thanks,Shed! I think the purpleness is what won it!

And you no longer have seedlings...you have plants now.

....they grow up so fast....I can barely keep up!

Congrats on the NOTM win

Thank You,Candy! Funny- that stuff wouldn't get a fly high, but it sure was pretty....

.I love your work! Congrats Mr. C your shit is DIALED!

Not quite dialed- I still have a hard time coaxing them out of the ground...my last 4 seeds sprouted, but two of them dropped dead....
Great to see you, Pb!

 

[Old Salt]

....they grow up so fast....I can barely keep up!

Just like children... It seems like yesterday they were cute babies, and today they're know-it-all teenagers

 

[Carcass]

Just like children... It seems like yesterday they were cute babies, and today they're know-it-all teenagers

Mine are all past the "difficult" years, now they're telling me the stuff they got away with in their teens...
None of it surprises me much...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree- but I'm glad I didn't know what they were doing back when they were doing it!.

 

[Backlipslide]

back when they were doing it!.

Isn’t that the truth!! My mother said the same thing when I started telling her all the crap I did and not get busted for lol

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Mornin carcass! Congrats on notm!

 

[BeezLuiz]

Garden is looking great, Carcass.

The Gelat.og auto is taking well to the quadline training, and remarkably,it's not flowering yet (29 days old)

Your Gelat.OG is looking good! I wish I had one growing...

She's continuing with the "maybe I'm flowering, maybe I'm not" thing- she put out nothing but funny leaves for a week or so, then yesterday, more pistils started popping out. She's 102 days old today, and 49 days into flowering/not flowering.

My Trainwreck was like that last year. By the time I harvested her, she was in flower/not flower for about19 weeks!

 

[StoneOtter]

Gardens looking beautiful Carcass. Just came by to say high .
