Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Trala]

I lost the runt challenge. Mine is not even in the same weight division anymore lol. Sometimes seeds are just assholes.

Bad workman always blames his tools...

Your dad dominated you, boy. Just accept it.

I was owned, served and shown up.

For now

The real test is in the final weeks anyway, not the first weeks
I WILL get that runt to grow one way or another...

I WILL get that runt to grow one way or another...

I don't doubt that a bit...I'm not counting any chickens yet- the finish line is a looonnng ways off...

And, it's Monday, so it's Update time!
I hope everyone's week is starting off well, lets see how things are going in "the box"...

First, a little stroll down memory lane...here's the Iced Grapefruit and Kalashnikov auto 2 weeks ago:

And today...They seem to be liking the GeoFlora nutes, even though I overfed them on the first dose
The Kalashnikov is due for her first dose of GF Bloom nutes in 2 days, and the IG will get her second dose of GF Veg nutes in another week. The corrected dosage will be 44g per plant (1/3 cup)

The Kalashnikov auto has grown 3" in the last 4 days- she's 6.5" tall now, while the IG is only 2.5", but she gets a little wider everyday...The IG is 26 days old, the K.a is 33, flowering since day 25...

A closer look: (IG) There's 4 main branches there, but 2 are growing real slow so far...
You can see by these pics, that 50% too much Geoflora nutes has had no negative effects on either plant..

And the Ka She's growing almost an inch a day- I hope she keeps it up for a little while...Dope Seeds says it'll be a short plant, and yield apx. 90g- so we'll find out how accurate those claims are...(I'm ok with "short", but 90g sounds a little low...)

A Ka top:

Since the Ka is flowering, I turned the wattage up to 90 (from 65) on the @Atreum Lighting Hydra-1000...
which is doing a great job, btw- Impressive performance for a light that uses less electricity than the floor lamp in my living room...

And that's about it for today!

Thanks for looking- I really appreciate the support..

Please, stay safe out there, and I hope everyone who chooses to, gets vaccinated soon...

Wow Carcass...no wonder Trala wants to keep you alive! Amazing growth over the last two weeks.

And I can see where overfeeding 50% wouldn't hurt the plant with the GF organics, but I can see where it might hurt the wallet after a while!

First (maybe only?) vaccine appointment on Friday!

 

[BooWho2]

Yikes Carcass! They are looking great! So the Kalashauto looks like it gave you 26 days before going into flower? Noice!

 

[Trala]

The growth you have there is AMAZING!

Can I get those nutes here? I am desperate to simplify. I have like 236 different bottles and I drives me crazy! When I say 236 I mean 4 components for veg, 4 components for flower.

 

[Carcass]

Thanks, Shed!

but I can see where it might hurt the wallet after a while!

Although...with 14 days between applications, it gives you time to realize you used too much the first time...

First (maybe only?) vaccine appointment on Friday!

That's great news, Shed! One shot would be nice, but going back a month later isn't really that bad- I think my neck of the woods only gets the Moderna , at least so far...

So the Kalashauto looks like it gave you 26 days before going into flower? Noice!

Thank you for the compliment, Boo!
It did! I consider that to be 5 bonus days- which comes in real handy for the training!

Can I get those nutes here?

Thanks for the kind words, Trala!
I don't know the answer to that- I don't think our Canadian friends can get it , so my guess would be
that Australia can't either ....
I think GeoFlora was going to start a support thread on the forum, but I don't know if they did it yet...

They grow up so fast with a good guardian!

Looking good, @Carcass!

 

[Timhomegrow]

Looking great!! Curious to see how the Geoflora does.

 

[Nev]

The canopies on your plants are sure eye appealing. You have got to have a table to work off of.

Thanks, GDB!
I got used to that last photo doing things at a "normal" pace- I almost forgot how fast the autos grow...
I just hope she keeps it up for a little while...

Looking great!! Curious to see how the Geoflora does.

Thanks, Tim- good to see you!
It's too early to say for sure, but I think GeoFlora might really be on to something!

The canopies on your plants are sure eye appealing.

Thanks, Nev!
And thanks for stopping by my journal!
The canopies usually look great until the stretch, then they tend to get a bit funky!
So far, so good on the Kalashnikov, but it's early...

 

[BooWho2]

So true. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I struggle with getting an even canopy in veg and flower. Im glad I get to watch you and your Grapefruit - in your box, correct?

 

[Carcass]

Im glad I get to watch you and your Grapefruit - in your box, correct?

Yes, that's how it's gonna go- the IG will stay in the box, and the Kalashnikov is going to end up outside- it's already taking up more than half the space in there, so it won't be long ...and...the only way to flower the IG is to keep her indoors, unless I veg her for 4+ months outside, and I don't want to do it that way- that's too much schlepping!

Hey carcass, dropping on to see what you've got going on. I shouldn't have to read back to far (thankfully, 200+ pages ) with that 2 week comparison shot at the top of the page, wow! You really got something going on there

Beauty of a setup you made with limited space, love it. And the plants I've seen you post pictures of so far are even more beautiful. I'll keep on watching to see these ones.
Just realized I still have all of my kalishnakov beans from photo of the month 2 years ago

Might want to drop one or two. @Mr. Sauga and @Virgin Ground recently harvested a pair of beauties!

Thanks Shed, and I may add that it smelled and tasted just like weed.

Thanks for the link shed! I still got so many different seeds here, and more arriving this week because I needed autos for outdoors. I'll have to check but I think I grabbed 10 of them and 10 of something else.

I'd love to start more, but I have 10 potted and 2 dwc on the go because I couldn't help myself with germing more seeds

Thanks Shed, and I may add that it smelled and tasted just like weed.

Thanks for the great info...



I'll hop over to the journal and check things out soon!

That's also where I got mine- PhOTM second place quite a few months ago,from Dope Seeds...

@Mr. Sauga and @Virgin Ground recently harvested a pair of beauties!

Hopefully, I can make it a trio of beauties...

Cool! coincidentally, that's exactly what I'm going for!

That's a lot of plants..you're gonna be a busy guy!

 

[MrSauga]

Thanks for the great info...

Actually I put a better description of it in the journal. Didn't want to ruin the surprise for you .

Hopefully, I can make it a trio of beauties...

I personally have no doubts.

Congrats! Eventually I will get some pictures built back up to enter the contests again. I'm in no rush and just throw one in for fun here and there really. My win was because of my wife, she had the better camera at the time and took the photo haha.

Yep I'm sure it will get a little busy here soon. It's been quite moderate so far, just some topping and lst.

Actually I put a better description of it in the journal. Didn't want to ruin the surprise for you .

Thanks Mr. S! I'll have some free time this week so I know I'll get to check them out. I enjoy seeing the ones that I have in stock.

Now I want to go and check on this... see what beans are actually there.
