Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

I think Monsanto is the parent company of Black Magic.

It is -Black Magic is made by Scotts, which is part of Monsanto...I don't think they'll miss me....I'm not going back.

Plus Pro Mix and MC are made for each other.

My DrSeedsman will be enjoying the combination in a week or 2 -everything else is in the last of the Black Magic ,so I'll see how they compare...

had something like a plate of bacon and got absolutely trashed, like the fat of the bacon set it off again.

I usually have a bacon sandwich for dinner once a week or so-I take a gummy right before I eat,and I'm buzzed in like 15-20 minutes-I don't know if fat will re-activate the thc, but it sure speeds up the initial absorbtion..

1 Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.

Yes, at 66 years old, I just learned that the day before yesterday....

Fedex just stopped by- 30 days after ordering it my Promix showed up- $32.00 with free shipping
seemed like a deal I couldn't pass up. (free shipping means slow shipping,evidently)
Home Depot doesn't sell my usual Black Magic soil anymore, so I figured it was time to try "the good stuff".
I guess I don't have to pH my water anymore with this stuff, so that's a good thing..

I've only got one plant left to up-pot, so I'll have plenty left for the next go-round-I'm happy!

No sure where you are located but that seems a little pricey. For a couple dollars more I usually pick up a bale of promix and it's pretty readily available where I am western Canada.

I found it cheaper($22) a couple places, but the shipping was like 20 bucks (30 pounds)

I'm in central Cali. ,and no one around here carries it right now- they say they do, but there's none in the stores...
And I'm not in a "shopping" mood with all this virus shit going on...
That's also a bigger bag than the stuff I usually get, so I'm happy enough with it

Aloha Carcass!! The ribs look killer! The plants look stupendous and my nipples went to France! Nah just kidding! My nipples ain’t going anywhere with the travel ban.

I think Braddah backsliderippah already mentioned it but you really are the silhouette picture king! You would make Albert Hitchcock’s side profile look about as good as those ribs!!

Pro-mix has to have a shortage or something. I haven’t had any here to sell at work for n weeks. I just got a shit ton of FF Ocean Forest though. I hope all is blessed in carcass land!! Sending lots of love and respect from Hawaii!!

bale of promix

Yeah when I picked mine up, I think it was 36.99 for a bale. But having it come right to his door is pretty convenient, even if it did take 6 weeks to get to him lol

 

[oldsmokey]

No to often it's you find a item cheaper in Canada than USA.

 

[Sunnyskies]

The going rate for here in hawaii is $48.99 for a bale of prom mix HP

 

[Carcass]

Thanks, Sunny- You just gotta have a cheap growbox with a real bright cheap light on in the background

But having it come right to his door is pretty convenient, even if it did take 6 weeks to get to him lol

I was surprised at the size- the Black Magic was $18 for 1.5 cu/ft,The promix is almost twice as much(2.8 cu/ft) so the price is fine with me- mine isn't a bale,though- they call it "loose fill"
It would have been here sooner, but the first bag went to Wisconsin (?)

No to often it's you find a item cheaper in Canada than USA.

That is unusual, although the Promix can be priced right, but they'll lay you away on the shipping in the US

$48.99 for a bale of prom mix HP

I didn't price a bale, but I wouldn't be adverse to paying 50 bucks for one- there's enough for 2 or 3 of my grows in the bag I've got, so I'd be set for a couple years with a bale...
I've seen the bales at Lowes- they always seemed to have them in stock...until I needed some- right now they've got zip...

 

[BooWho2]

Thanks guys!
Half of them went to a needy family (my Daughter and Granddaughter)
along with a can of grillin beans, and some fresh baked cornbread...so I guess I do bake bread, but only from a box, so it doesn't really count...

Bread from a box ALWAYS counts if someone else is cooking!

Well then. Well done!

Thanks, BooWho...and welcome to my journal!
I didn't know BlackMagic was a division of Scotts till I read the fine print on my last empty bag...there's evidently not much that Monsanto doesn't have their fingers in...

$70 ...wherever I am, and I live Canada adjacent.
That's where all of the peat comes from.
How on earth can you get it cheaper in Hawaii??

 

[candycane]

Super late but your garden looks beautiful and healthy! I hope all is well in Carcass land!

 

[Carcass]

How on earth can you get it cheaper in Hawaii??

When I was looking for promix, I saw bales for $110- one of the reasons I went for the smaller loose fill.
I've practically got oil wells in my backyard, yet gasoline costs more here than anywhere else in the country...
It must make sense to someone, but not to me...

You're right on time, Candy! Thank you so much!

Holy smokes! $70? Ours hast to get barged over from the west coast. We are still waiting to get it back in stock. My margin is total shit and I don’t make hardly anything on it but it’s whats In heavy demand. I’m always looking for other brands to bring in.. The Mother Earth brand soils based out of Washington has been doing well too.

Have you thought about @farside05 and his home made HP ? Didn’t look that hard to put together. All the promix hp I ran on line to get a deal was I had to buy $300 worth . Gas here is $1.89 .9 Gallon and that’s too much it’s 21 miles to the boat ramp .

I am in western Canada 107 Lt bail of promix is 36 - 38$ it's available at Rona home Depot local garden centres but I get it from my local grow store it's the cheapest and they don't store it outside bigs are nice and clean haven't been sitting outside all winter. And they'll carry him out to my truck for me.

Mine took 30 days to go 160 miles-it probably would have gotten here quicker if I ordered it from you

Have you thought about @farside05 and his home made HP ?

I have...but I didn't get around to making it in time, and I needed soil...so I ordered it from an LA based company, thinking it'd be here in a day or 2- when that didn't work out, I just went with some used soil from my last grow

Gas here is $1.89 .9 Gallon and that’s too much

It ranges from 2.99 to 3.59 per gallon here, but I only have to buy it once a month now because I don't go out much lately...

I read that, and should of made some up a month ago, but I procrastinated on it a bit too long...

Canada 107 Lt bail of promix is 36 - 38$

If Home Depot or Lowe's actually had any in stock, it'd be $44-$46
WalMart does have it in stock...for $119 a bale (wtf?)
I've got enough for 7 more grows now, so my $32 worth will last me about a year and a half @$4.50 per grow, which is not too bad...

 

[oldsmokey]

Sounds like Walmart's doing a little bit of price gouging.
