Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[BooWho2]

If it is covid, then the vaccine is doing a great job...

That was kinda my point. But, I can imagine we aren’t seeing the same kind of Delta variant testing as we did with the “regular” COVID. I hope you feel Better soon.

That little Blackberry has grown half an inch since I took the pics this morning-

That Blackberry will be one of my first fall/winter grows once I drag the summer grow to the end. The CBD fauxto is going to town in bloom! Thank you again for her. I’ll post pics tomorrow when I have time to do proper updates.

The CBD fauxto is going to town in bloom!

Yeah, she's way bigger then all 3 of my CBD photos were- you'll be fixed for CBD for quite awhile!
Keep your eye peeled for PM- I had it on all 3 of mine...I sprayed it with a weak milk solution, because I didn't have citric acid at that time- the milk works, but also requires daily spraying....

 

[InTheShed]

And it stinks!

She’s beautiful! And she smells sweet, which I’m surprised by. I guess because she’s not weed…. She’s not shown any PM but I have had a little bit of it on the GSC and here and there on the PSM and GK. I’ve been using the citric acid spray and it seems to work well. But I’m also starting to spray for caterpillars and am worried about creating some sort of toxic environment. The Blow Dream fauxto is right next to her, a little bigger than her, and she is barely into flower now. So odd.

She’s beautiful! And she smells sweet, which I’m surprised by.

She'll also taste and smell great once she's dry (which surprised me!)
Low 'n slow dried tastes even better, but I only did an ounce that way, then the spare refrigerator went to my son's house (never to be heard from again...)

I’ve been perfecting my low and slow over the winter grows. I need a spare refrigerator for the summer!

 

[Carcass]

I think I'm actually going to buy a little one (something too small for the kids to want )

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

I hate the dripping most of all....I've got a kleenex tampon in each nostril right now...

LOL! I supposed that's better than a tampon kleenex!

 

[Carcass]

Much better! and the ripcord string doesn't get in the way...

 

[HashGirl]

And then there's the little @Weed Seeds Express Blueberry auto (from J )- she got transplanted yesterday morning into 3 gal. of ProMix, amended a few weeks ago with 50g Geoflora veg, and a half ounce of EarthAlive soil activator. I also added 1 tsp. of Dynomyco to the hole at transplant time.

You didn't plant the BBa directly into its final pot the way J recommends?

The plants are healthy,but I woke up with a bad cold yesterday- nothing serious, but very annoying....

Sorry to hear you have a cold as well.

LOL! I supposed that's better than a tampon kleenex!

I know this is Boo's saying but I think the situation fits. Ridiculous. Simply ridiculous.

 

[Carcass]

Good Morning HashGirl!

You didn't plant the BBa directly into its final pot the way J recommends?

No, I don't do it that way- I start the seedlings in "the box", in solo cups- the 80f temp in there is just right for them.
Since there's always an indoor plant growing in there, there's not really room in there for 2 more 3 gallon pots, so I leave them in the cups till I get lots of roots coming out the bottom- then they go into the big pots, (just like photoperiod plants) and I move them outside...
I know lots of folks say not to transplant autos, but I do it anyway...I'm pretty careful, and the transplant doesn't seem to bother them at all...even when I top them at the same time.
I tried x3-3 gallon pots in the box (temporarily) in my last grow, but it's just a little too crowded in there...

Sorry to hear you have a cold as well.

Thanks- It's actually quite a bit better today, which is unusual-they usually hang on for at least 2 weeks

Simply ridiculous.

 

[Rexer]

Hey @Carcass

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to finally drop in with a hello
I kinda skipped a few pages, to be pleasantly surprised to find you've just started another run
I love how your autos turn out and hope to follow along to learn

Congratulations on that Chocodope! She's a real sweet harvest for that height, my jaw dropped at the weight

Anyhow- glad to hear you're feeling better and hope your cold passes soon

 

[Carcass]

Hi, Rexer, Great to have you stop by!

Congratulations on that Chocodope! She's a real sweet harvest for that height,

Thanks, Rexer!- funny- when she stopped growing at 12", I thought she was going to be kind of a dud (her sister was a big plant, @BooWho2 's POTM winner)...then she started to get fat, and kept it up till the end....

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I have to wonder if I've been harvesting mine too early and not letting them swell enough at the end. Only one way to find out I guess!

I would never have guessed a weight like that from a 12 inch plant. So much learning to do

 

[Carcass]

I think I've been chopping a little early too....

I was all set to harvest her 2 weeks earlier, but I took @InTheShed Shed and @BeezLuiz ' advice, and held off till she slowed/stopped drinking- she gained quite a bit of weight in those 2 weeks...
I thought waiting would probably give me more amber trichomes than I like, but she really didn't amber up much more- she was at about 15% when I decided to wait, and (surprisingly) only about 20% after the 2 weeks.
I haven't smoked any yet, but I think she's going to do ok...

Interesting, I have one that started out in my hydro setup that got stunted. I threw her in soil for fun since she was determined to live (long story and I don't want to ramble away too much). I was going to harvest her a..couple? weeks ago as well, and completely forgot (she was out back). Long short is- she got that nice chunky look that yours got. I just snipped her yesterday and she's drying in the fridge now.
I just popped some new seeds and I think I'll let my last one go a few weeks extra to see/confirm if I'm chopping too early.
Thanks again Carcass!

 

[Carcass]

You're welcome!
I'm thinking that's how I'll do it from now on too- indoors and out, since under the led some plants don't seem to want to amber up no matter how old they are.

Happy Monday ! It's Update time once again!

The plants have been doing pretty well, no problems to speak of, at least not yet!

So here's the 54 day old Gorilla Glue photo, flipped to 12/12 3 days ago- no stretching or flowers yet, but it's early...I think this one is going to fill the box up pretty well as time goes on...

The SaugaView®:

11" tall now- still a fairly flat canopy, but it's not apt to stay that way once she starts to stretch...
The @Atreum Lighting Hydra-1000 is at 100 watts now, and the plant seems real happy with that...

She's chowing down on 4.5g of "the gray stuff" now, and seems like she may want more pretty soon..

So on to the 2 outdoor autos- first up is the WSE Blueberry- 19 days old now, not flowering yet, but that's probably right around the corner...Both outdoor autos are being fed 2.5g of the gray stuff, every 3-5 days now...This one was topped above the fourth node 9 days ago...

From above:

I evidently cut a bit high when I topped her, because I ended up doing an accidental fim (I've only fimmed twice- both were accidents )

On to the FastBuds BlackBerry auto- This one is 16 days old, and seems to be a slow grower so far...

I don't think I'll top this one, since she's pretty small for her age and could start flowering in 5 days or so, so I'll just let her do what she does...
She's a real healthy little thing, just not growing much yet...

And, both of them outside on their little table, soaking up the sun/heat...

And that's about all the goings-on around here for this update!
Thanks for looking, I really appreciate the support...

I hope everyone has a great week- and please, stay safe out there- we've made it this far, let's don't blow it now....

 

[BeezLuiz]

That GG is looking great so far - love the flat canopy.

Our plants look similar. Kimee and your girl. That canopy C Song. You are the Canopy King!

I love your neatness and order. Still hate your ugly arsed box tho.

What is FIM again. Coz I’m thinking Fuck It Man, but I‘m prolly wrong...
