Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

We can live with you calling it the Tuesday update going forward...

Monday is going to be baby day for awhile, So Tuesday it is!
So... here's the Tuesday update!
Not much going on in the box right now- the Wedding Cheesecake auto is the only permanent occupant- the 2 Dr.S. clones do spend about 4 hours in there in the evening to keep them from flowering for awhile-
they'll be too big for that in a few more days.

The WCC was topped on the 17th,(at 12 days old) and the quad training began on the 22nd- she's 20 days old now- not flowering yet- hopefully she holds off for another week or so...she's being fed 4g/gal. Mega Crop&4ml Silica blast.

The Saugaview®:

She doesn't look much different from a different angle, so let's just move to the outdoor ladies-

Chem Dawg#4 on the left, Dr.Seedsman on the right...CD is 36" tall,Dr.S is 34"
I used to grow outdoors in 3 gallon pots years ago, and 36" tall is just about the limit for that size pots-
big enough for a decent yield, but small enough to move around easily. (these both come in at night)
Remarkably, no pests on either one yet, and fortunately, powdery mildew isn't a thing around here (at least I've never had to deal with it)

one more...slightly different angle...(Both from seeds gifted to me by @13goody13 )

The CD is being fed 7g/gal MegaCrop+4ml Silica Blast- she started yellowing a little at 6.5g so I boosted
it up a little,and the yellowing seems to have stopped progressing. It's been hot,so she gets watered and fed every day.
She's been flowering for 27 days now, 93 days old
Sorry for the crappy pics- I should of gotten a stool or something to stand on...

And the Dr.S.- 71 days old, flowering for apx. 10 days (21 days since "flip")
being fed 6.5g/gal. MC,4ml/gal Silica blast every day (and loving it)
I really like the way this one's growing- I'm gonna have a lot of branches to stake up when the buds get a little bigger..

She's got an odd bud on her- this one limb is going to be more of a pain than usual to trim- it's got about 5 leaves per node, instead of the usual 2...

Then there's the Dr.S. clones- the topped one is 15" tall, the un-topped one is 17"
I'll be transplanting them to 3 gallon pots in a few days, and discontinuing their additional light, so they can start flowering- they won't get very big, but If I don't get them flowering soon I may run out of good weather before they're done...

Last but not least, here's the final weight on the dry and de-stemmed Alaskan Purple auto, Harvested last Thursday... not too bad for a 12" plant...(3.7oz/104g)

So into the jars she went...

And that's about all for today-I'm totally out of jars now, so I'll have to find some reasonably priced ones before the outside girls get chopped.


Thanks for looking-I appreciate the support!
I hope you're all having a great (or at least a tolerable) week, and staying as safe as possible..

Beautiful plants, Carcass! Very nice colors.

Congrats on the Purple plant. It looks like a winner.

To solve your jar shortage, buy and eat more pickles.

That Dr Seedsman is going to need some serious staking, it's already almost scraping the floor! Nice work on keeping that auto out of flower. I'm sure it knows you're training it and want it to wait. Autos just have that go-with-the-flow quality I've found .

Nice haul on the AP! Tiny plant, solid nugs.

 

[Amy Gardner]

totally out of jars now

congratulations!

A weekly treat as always. Good result on the AP. Those buds look tasty. Hope you've been enjoying the time with the little one.

 

[MrSauga]

Looked like a centipede on the Dr. S flower when I first looked. Pretty cool. Everything looks great carcass!

 

[BeezLuiz]

Plants are looking great all around!

Not bad at all!

I really like the way this one's growing- I'm gonna have a lot of branches to stake up when the buds get a little bigger..

And the buds will get big and bulky if it does like mine is currently doing. I'm really impressed with this cultivar.

Sorry for the crappy pics- I should of gotten a stool or something to stand on...

We'll let it slide. We're easy to please here.

Remarkably, no pests on either one yet,

Mine are just now starting to get some aromas going - that's when the moths show up. I sprayed my Dr.S with BT this morning. I'm determined to avoid the caterpillar fiasco from previous grows.

IKR, it looks so weird. I want one of those!

With the price of mason jars right now, I'd come out ahead if I threw the pickles away and just used the jars...

congratulations!

Thanks,Amy! - If I hadn't saved the pickle jar, I'd of had to make oil today out of those last 2 ounces...

Nice work on keeping that auto out of flower. I'm sure it knows you're training it and want it to wait.

Yes, autos are known to be a cooperative bunch...
Anything past day 21 (tomorrow) is bonus time...according to 13goody13, I may have 5 or 6 more days
before she goes through "the change"

Hope you've been enjoying the time with the little one.

Very much so!- She really likes grandpa, because grandma doesn't have a beard for her to yank on (thank goodness!)

Looked like a centipede on the Dr. S flower when I first looked.

IKR? it's going to be interesting to see how/if that bud grows!

And the buds will get big and bulky if it does like mine is currently doing. I'm really impressed with this cultivar.

I am too- I'm not sure why, but I thought a cbd plant wouldn't be anything special- but this thing is
just growing crazy good- I should thin some of the smaller buds, but if you know my history, you'll know that's not likely to happen- I'll just spend a little more time in trim jail...

I want one of those!

There's so many leaves on that branch, I hope there's room for flowers!

Everyone looks happy. That WCC looks like it’s a few days before where mine was when I first saw sign. As you know, it does all of its growing after that anyway
As for the Dr. S, the only thing I can say is there’s no need to over feed it. I think I caused mine to finish early giving 7g + supplements with everyone else, and it probably wanted to give me more, but couldn’t. I’m going to take it easy on the clone and see it it will bulk up a little more in the later stage. Glad you got those all going, I know you have big plans for them.

 

[Carcass]

As for the Dr. S, the only thing I can say is there’s no need to over feed it.

Actually, I mistakenly gave her the nutes meant for the ChemDawg about a week ago (6.5g) and she didn't complain (no tip burn) so I'm just sticking with that dosage-

Glad you got those all going,

I figured only 1 if any, would root- so it's icing on the cake that they both lived...

Mine was the same kind of situation, and was drinking everyone else’s food and loving it. It’s the supplements (fed every time) that pushed her too far, I’m sure.

 

[Carcass]

I keep talking myself out of adding a little Bud Explosion into her feed- she's doing so well as-is, I can't justify any additives- not yet anyway...

 

[oldsmokey]

Garden looks great carcass

 

[Virgin Ground]

Highya carcass.
All caught up. I'm sure I will fall behind right away. Just missed ya and had to come and see what you've been up to.

 

[Carcass]

Garden looks great carcass

Thanks, Smokey!

Highya carcass.

Hi,VG- Thanks for stopping by, great to see you!
I'm working on getting caught up...life has actually been kind of busy for me, so I'm way behind on everything- but I'll get there.
Right now, all my plants need water- those outdoor girls are a very demanding bunch!

 

[Carcass]

I've got a question for the resident MegaCrop expert:
I ordered some MegaCrop the other day- it got here yesterday afternoon- I was expecting the new stuff (without the little balls) , but the stuff I got has the balls- no big thing, since that's what I'm used to...
But...I compared the label, Same ingredients in both bags, but a few of them are in different quantities than the v2 that I've been using...

@MrSauga - could you take a look at these labels, and maybe tell me which version they sent me?
The old stuff (which I think is v2) is on the left ,and the new stuff (complete with little balls) is on the right.

The NPK is the same, but a lot of the other things have changed...

 

[InTheShed]

Looks like the cut the Ca by a third, bumped the Boron, halved the iron, and generally messed with down-ballot formula. Or that's just the bag they had on hand but the stuff inside is exactly the same!

 

[Virgin Ground]

Omg. If they changed their formula again this quickly, I'm gonna lose my mind.
That probably means that there was something seriously wrong with the last batch.
Which I bought 22 lbs of....

 

[Carcass]

Or that's just the bag they had on hand but the stuff inside is exactly the same!

I wasn't going to open the bag till I needed it, but you got me wondering...so I opened it- it's now off white, odorless, and with white balls.. kind of like a half step backwards..(pic below)

If they changed their formula again this quickly, I'm gonna lose my mind.

@13goody13 just got some about a month ago (I think) and it looked gray with no balls.
They're as bad as I am- they can't just leave a good thing alone...hope they haven't fooked it up..

the new MegaCrop:
