Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

Really like how you've placed the driver and control box, this is a perfect use case!

Thanks!
It's out of the way, and takes advantage of the heat from the driver (which isn't much @ 62 watts)
It's very nice that you guys thought to include that extension cable -perfect setup for my box!

I still have faith in the Iced Grapefruit, looks a little like my GSC (#2) who sort of woke up on the wrong side of the bed too. Not an auto so lots of time to catch up
Cool that you got it all set up, looks good in there. I’m sure great things will happen!
I don’t like change either- but light upgrades are a good thing. And GF is about as close to MC (easy) as you can get, and seems to be working well for other growers here.
Looking forward to the magic

Yeah, I thought of your little problem child when she came up damaged- doesn't necessarily mean they won't end up growing well, but they kinda mess with the schedule when they take an extra month to get straightened out .
But, I wouldn't know how to act if everything actually went according to plan- that would just be odd

Congrats on your new stuff! As a guy who grows outside and knows almost nothing about lighting, you did a great job of explaining your new @Atreum Lighting light. I found it quite interesting.

 

[Stunger]

Yeah, the 36 hours of darkness turned her almost all red (ish)
Those colors did make it interesting- even Mrs.C. had to admit she was a pretty one..

I wouldn't mind trying out the 36 hours darkness myself but I don't think be able to do in a suitably stealthy fashion.

Great going with your new Atreum lighting, looks a beauty. And it will be interesting how you find the Geoflora after the MC. Good stuff Carcass!

 

[Carcass]

Thanks! I read up on it a few times before it got here so I'd (appear to) know what I was talking about

And it will be interesting how you find the Geoflora after the MC.

I don't always do the 36 hour darkness thing, but this time, I needed the space in the box- I'm not sure if it helps anything, but it doesn't hurt anything either...

It will be interesting- I've been using MC for over 2 years, so I'm a little nervous about switching, but if I don't try it, I might be missing out on something even better than what I'm used to...and they were free, so there's that too...

A cross-country battle has begun

Stay tuned, this one's just getting fired up..

Very cool carcass!! You’ve been talking about getting a new light for a very long time! Very cool man you deserve it buddy!

I sure wish geoflora shipped the winnings from contests to Canada. I was looking forward to trying it out. I even tried contacting them to see how much it would be for me to pay for the shipping..... but no answer, I guess they really don’t like Canadians lol

 

[BeezLuiz]

Congrats Carcass, it's like Christmas in March!

Yes!

An epic battle is unfolding!

Ha! Right now, the smart money is on the one with at least 2 real leaves!...but it is early....

I sure wish geoflora shipped the winnings from contests to Canada. I was looking forward to trying it out.

Will that change after covid? or is that just the way it is? Doesn't seem fair at all

Congrats Carcass, it's like Christmas in March!

Thanks, Beez!
The gift that keeps on giving!- I'm using 62 watts now, as opposed to the 220watts I was using before- so the electric bill will give back a little every month!

An epic battle is unfolding!

Hopefully, some real leaves start unfolding too!

 

[Carcass]

I uppotted the little mutant IG today- we were out of 16oz clear solo cups, so she was in an 8oz. one-

Little Miss IG, luxuriating in her new 32oz. home....She also got her first little taste of @GeoFlora Nutrients - she looks pretty sad, but she seems pretty happy...If I were a certain little GSC seedling from Washington State, I'd be worried...

Great harvest carcass, and those buds are so colorful it's like you shot it with some insta filter! Nice weight to height ratio too .

So here she is in the closet

If it doesn't have doors, is it still a closet?

showing the unique LED spacing- this is done so the light in your growspace is as intense around the edges as it is in the middle -it also eliminates "hotspots" in the center of the space.

Brilliant! Should be standard operating procedure really.

I don't think that from top of the west coast to middle of the west coast is what they mean by "cross-country" though.

Still...should be epic!

I'm using 62 watts now, as opposed to the 220watts I was using before

Whoa! Have you a lux meter to compare the two?

1100 miles (1770km) it’s a pretty good span of the west coast, but I suppose it’s more road trip than cross country.

 

[InTheShed]

I love road trips! That's my idea of a vacation if my wife won't let me lie on a beach for days on end, which is my real idea of a vacation .

 

[Carcass]

Great harvest carcass,

Thanks,Shed- it was worth the 11.5 week wait!

If it doesn't have doors, is it still a closet?

Actually, it's more of a cubbyhole now I guess..

Whoa! Have you a lux meter to compare the two?

I've got a cheapie lux meter, it reads the same with the Atreum 100w light as it did with the old 200+watt LED- 40k@16"from the light...

but I suppose it’s more road trip than cross country.

Vertical cross country?

I love road trips!

I used to, haven't really been anywhere for years!

:noice: Who doesn't love a 50% savings?

Vertical cross country?

LOL!

I used to, haven't really been anywhere for years!

I love driving, but I haven't done much since February 2020 when we did the college tour for my son. And I haven't been on an actual vacation since 2018.

 

[Trala]

Carcass I’m going to ask the big question everyone wants know!

Did you paint the exterior of that butt ugly growbox of yours?

Because at the moment your grow area makes as much sense as a woman in a bad burka wearing Victoria Secret lingerie.

 

[Carcass]

I haven't been on an actual vacation since 2018.

2014 for me...I gotta get out more....

Did you paint the exterior of that butt ugly growbox of yours?

Oh, Hell no! That would mess with her "mojo"
I did put another sticker on the door, but that's all the "gussying up" she's gonna get....

 

[Backlipslide]

Will that change after covid? or is that just the way it is? Doesn't seem fair at all

No probably not. There’s a lot of sponsors that don’t ship to Canada. It’s almost as if our currency was more then the states or something... lol

Nahh it is what it is, I was aware of them not shipping, so I tried contacting them to see what it would cost and I’ll pay for shipping, but no answer.
Ohh well, Saul Goodman!
