Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Trala]

Hi Carcass

Sorry to read about your challenges. End stage dementia is such an awful disease for the family to endure. The person with it copes better than the loved ones who have to watch in heartbreak as their loved one slowly loses precious memories of both life and love.

I have told my partner and son, if I am ever diagnosed with end stage (which I know I will be given the damage my brain has suffered), I want them to find me a good clean nursing home, drop me off and never look back because watching the memories, and personality traits and habits that makes me uniquely me slowly evaporate will devastate them.

And to be honest I also have concerns that I’ll be that sexually inappropriate demented patient that is constantly taking their clothes off and touching other residents inappropriately. While those behaviours would make sense to my partner, I don’t want that to be one of my sons last memories of me...

Difficult stuff indeed. Interestingly, I just heard about some positive research on CBG and dementia. Having lost several family members to Alzheimers, I hope there are some strides in this area.

Hi Carcass. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. It’s Tuesday.....

It’s Tuesday.....

It’s Wednesday!

It's always 4:20 somewhere?

It's always 4:20 somewhere?

Right then. That’s totally true. Ergo, I’m tokin all day!

 

[Carcass]

Sorry to read about your challenges.

Thank you, Trala- My Mom's been going downhill for 17 years now, so I'm pretty used to it by now- Mrs.C.'s Mom is just starting down the same path, and she's going to be one of the mean ones...
hopefully not a naked mean one....

constantly taking their clothes off

Yeah, there's a few of those at mom's nursing home- Before covid locked me out, I saw way more naked 85 year old women than anyone should ever see....

Hi, grh!
Thanks for stopping by!

I just heard about some positive research on CBG and dementia.

I'll have to read up on that- I already take a daily dose of CBG (isolate from @OregonHempFlower )
and I plan on keeping that up, so maybe I can head dementia off at the pass...although I'm not sure whether it's hereditary or not in my family...

Thanks, Nutty- that was a fun contest, and I voted for the winner, so no regrets here- I didn't win, but I was on the winning team! (Congrats to you @VetSmoke85 !)

Hi Carcass. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Hi,Boo!
I'm doing well, enjoying the first day in 3 days without a grandchild running around the house...
I Iove 'em, but grandpa needs a few days to recharge!
My Mom's also doing well- the test may have given a false positive, because she's showing no symptoms,
so that's a real good thing!

It’s Tuesday.....

And we know what that means....
It's time for...Tuesday's Update

The Super Silver Haze is just chugging right along, with no problems at all so far...She's been flowering
for 48 days (almost 7 weeks) and she's 97 days old today.
Still feeding her the same as last week, and she's still drinking the pot dry every other day...

The Saugaview®:

She's just a tiny bit taller than a week ago (18" now)- I moved her 1.5" closer to the light, since it's a safe bet that she's not going to stretch into it....

Average lux in the box @ 13" from the light:

Detail view of the special Carcass extend-o-sensor®:
(Sensor taped and rubber banded to a broken arrow shaft)-It's higher tech than it looks- that's a carbon fiber arrow shaft!(it's just as easy to check lux without the extender, but you know how I like to fiddle with stuff...)

So, back to the buds...
Gettin' a little frostier all the time:

Gettin' stinky too, especially when she's thirsty...

And finally, a little silhouette shot...getting her out through that narrow door is a challenge, but she's pretty flexible...

And that's about all there is for this week- she (allegedly) has 3 or 4 weeks to go, so she should fill out quite a bit more before she makes the ultimate sacrifice...

Thanks for looking, I really appreciate the support!
And as I've said many times- Please stay safe out there!

 

[VetSmoke85]

Said it before, and I'll say it again, you are the man. Couldn't have done it without you. Literally, since you voted for me Can't thank you enough for the help and support you've given me the last 2 years. Nothing but love and respect for you my friend. It's been a blast and I hope there's many more years of it to come. Can't wait to be lined up with you for MOTY 2021.

The SSH is looking brilliant. With a while to go too. Wish I could try some with you and head out for a dance down the biscuit aisle

 

[Carcass]

It’s Wednesday!

It won't really be Wednesday till Thursday...

It's always 4:20 somewhere?

It's always close enough!

Ergo, I’m tokin all day!

I microdose all day.... I'm working my way up...

 

[Carcass]

Sorry, Vet- I missed this one earlier...

It's been a blast and I hope there's many more years of it to come.

Best time I've had in awhile!

The SSH is looking brilliant. With a while to go too.

Thanks! As long as she keeps doing what she's been doing, she should end pretty well...

 

[BooWho2]

Your SSH is looking lovely as usual. I'm beginning to wonder if I've got a faux myself....I'll give her 42 days and then flip if I need to.

Mom's also doing well- the test may have given a false positive, because she's showing no symptoms,
so that's a real good thing

That is a real good thing and I'm so glad to hear it. Fingers crossed that no symptoms continue.

 

[Carcass]

Thanks for the kind words, Boo!

I'm beginning to wonder if I've got a faux myself....I'll give her 42 days and then flip if I need to.

There's a lot of that going around this year...the silver lining is we save a bit on electricity

Fingers crossed that no symptoms continue.

I'm going over there to visit (through the window) in a few minutes, so we'll see...

 

[InTheShed]

Something about the buds in the Saugaview® that makes them look like jeweled brooches (it doesn't do them justice, but something like this). So cool! And of course the plant is looking amazing. Neat carbon fiber extend-o-sensor®, though when you market it I'd go with "fibre."

So glad to hear your mom is doing well.

 

[Carcass]

though when you market it I'd go with "fibre."

Noted!- that should help with international appeal... (kicks it up another price point too...)

So glad to hear your mom is doing well.

Thanks, Shed- I just got back from visiting her, and she seems to be doing fine, according to her...I checked with the staff and they confirmed it (can't always trust what she says because no short term memory)

What was the Lux reading out if curiosity? I couldn't read it in the pic ha

 

[Carcass]

Hi, Timhomegrow! Thanks for stopping by!

What was the Lux reading out if curiosity?

48,400 lux- that's just the average- the taller buds are at 50-54k, and the shorter ones are at 38- 45k or so...
I am using a $7 meter, so I can't vouch for it's accuracy...but it's probably at least close ...

On fucking fleek!

Honestly you grow the most beautiful looking plants. If you are still happy to/have the time/can be bothered I am going to tag you to mentor me once one of my clone is at training stage. Totally understand if you are busy though.

My first question, when do you know when your clone is at training stage?

I am so excited at the prospect of learning this style of grow. My pet hates are yellow leaves and unhealthy plants. They both literally give me anxiety. I have to pick the yellow leaves off. Tbh I think this is why my Tangies look so shite. I love the fact your plants stay so happy looking. It makes growing so joyous.

I am so disappointed I didn’t grow the Tangies better given they were special seeds. I have maybe two Tangie clones, definitely one, and I’d love to be able to get a second chance to make them beautiful.
