Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Lerugged]

Some of the plants I grow, the pure sativas will drop a ton of leaves around stretch no matter how much nitrogen they get, or other nutes for that matter. Even with crazy fertile soil, it will happen. The buds are not affected from what I can tell. There is also always a lot of leaves left. I think of it as the plant making more space to get more light onto the buds.
The only time it doesn't happen is in winter outdoors. I am pretty convinced that they do this as they know there is an abundance of sunlight here in Africa and they don't have to work hard to photosynthesize as they are in full sun from sunrise until about an hour before sunset.
Dunno, just something I have noticed.
Sure its got nothing to do with what is going on in your tent. She is a beaut either way

Eight inch buds is heuuuge in my eyes. Stunning plant!

 

[StoneOtter]

She's a beautiful show off Carcass!

 

[Carcass]

Thanks, Lerugged!

I think of it as the plant making more space to get more light onto the buds.

The loss of leaves definitely let more light in, especially around the buds...probably about how it'd look if I did a bit more defoliating...so you may be right about why she dropped those leaves pretty much all at the same time...That's why I say the yellowing doesn't appear to be hurting anything now- It's ugly as sin, but other than the ugly parts, the plant is doing fine...

Well, it would be pretty convenient for me to just blame the Grow Dots... but I'm not sure if they're the whole problem- it's not really acting like just an N deficiency...

Eight inch buds is heuuuge in my eyes.

Thank you, Carmen...
They're not all that big yet, but the smaller ones may catch up in the next 3 weeks or so...

She's a beautiful show off Carcass!

Thank You, Stone!

I honestly don’t know why I find myself yearning to gaze at this plant.
It makes me so depressed when I peer at the little gems in my grow room.

Nev! Great to see you, man!
Coincidentally, I was getting ready to post a few pics!

I've seen your plants, definitely nothing to be depressed about there!
This little girl is only 13" tall...so height doesn't really matter much anyway...


A couple of Saturday Zkittles pics...
112 days old, flowering for 44 days, probably about 14 to go...81 days in the Grow Dots..

Quite a few fresh pistils, so she's still fattening up...

Funny thing- only the upper leaves are pale green or yellow, the "underneath" ones are nice 'n green (verdant)...but, with only 2 weeks to go, I'm done worrying about the yellow (it didn't help anyway...)

About a month ago, I said I hoped she'd end up being "nothin but buds" ..she seems to be headed in that direction...

The yellowing hasn't changed much, if anything, it's a bit worse...

That's it for the Saturday quickie...
Thanks for your interest..
see you again on Monday!

Great looking lady Carcass! Love the buds and even canopy. Well done sir!

 

[DeeBoy]

You may be right about that, Shed- although, the problem it has now is the same problem it had before the calmag pro was added ..and adding more Dots has had no effect that I can see...
And, there's always the possibility that that's just how the Dots work, and there's really no problem- at least not one that can be corrected.
I'm still learning about The Dots...

Thanks, Shed! Like (I think) you've said before- we're growing flowers here, not leaves..


Thank you so much, Carmen!

I think you might be right about just how the Dots work. They’re easy, but not perfect. I have realized that my 3 gallon soft pots are 3.7 gallons actually. So, I am going to boost the Dots next plant.

Thank You, GG! This is the payoff for all the fiddly work early on...this one only stretched 3 inches, so that helped with the canopy..

I'm definitely going to try the Dots again- even with all the yellowing going on, the buds are still doing great.
I'll have to check the capacity on my soft pots, and I'll add more Dots accordingly...although, that probably won't help with the "running out of gas" thing.
But, I can live with the yellow, as long as the buds do alright...

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Looking great Carcass!

I am not not jealous.

Good buds, just not centerfold leaves.

Thank You,GDB!
Nothing to be jealous of- I've seen your plants, and they're amazing!

Good buds, just not centerfold leaves.

They'd actually be pretty, if they were any color but yellow ...
But, I don't think I've ever grown a plant that was all green till the end...some just start turning colors a little earlier than others...

 

[InTheShed]

The flowers look delish and there don't appear to be more yellow leaves, just more fade on the already yellow ones!

 

[Lerugged]

Yeah I'd hit that... hard. Looks delicious

I love that strain, Zkittlez.
Grew a couple this summer.
Yours looks terrific.
Nice thick colas.
Fantastic work my friend.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday.
Take care.

I'm not jealous too! Sweet growing Carcass!

You're right, Shed- I looked back on some pics, and the yellow just got yellower...and some of it is starting to turn orange now, so she might be colorful (other than the yellow) a week from now...

Yeah I'd hit that... hard. Looks delicious

Thank You for the kind words, Lerugged...and that's exactly what I'm going to do...

I love that strain, Zkittlez.

Thank You, Bill- I've never smoked any, but my sons say it's been one of their favorites...looking forward to trying it...another week or so, and it's "tester time"...

I'm not jealous too! Sweet growing Carcass!

Thank You, Stone- I've got to admit, she's kinda pretty for an LP....( little plant)

 

[Carcass]

Happy Monday! Time for a little Update on the happenings in the box...

First, I've got to show you some of the cool stuff that Trala sent me, just because she's so nice..
it almost makes the box look not-so-ugly...(I added the flags)

And the little Kookaburra stash box:

Was that nice of her, or what? She also sent some biscuits (cookies) which I made short work of, (Tim Tams- damn those were good!)
and a cool mobile/seashell thingy for Mrs.C..
Thank You so much,@Trala

And now on to the little @Weed Seeds Express Zkittlez...115 days old, flowering for 46 days...according to WSE, she should go 56-63 days, and I think they're pretty accurate with that...

The SaugaView®:

Lots of yellow there, but very little of it is on the buds...

The canopy is hanging in there...she's 24 inches from the light, which is crankin' out 215 watts...

A bud or 2- They're still putting out new pistils, but the pistil production is slowing down a bit...

Bud #2

A true colors pic- No shortage of yellow on this girl!
In the last few days, she's developed a real interesting smell...if a skunk put on some peach flavored cologne, it would probably smell similar...Sweet 'n Skunky

A silhouette shot- buds are a little fatter than last week..and there's the other sticker that Trala sent!

And that's about it for today!
Thank You for looking, I really appreciate the support...

You may also want to check out Mine and Trala's comparative grow here...
Trala is on holiday for a few days, so her update will probably happen later on this week...

Have a wonderful week, and I'll see you next time!

 

[Stunger]

Beautiful Carcass, and Tra's sendings look great!

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

She looks sweet Carcass!

@Trala is a sweetie. Just be glad she didn't send you a cake.
