Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

Thanks, Shed!

With three days of rain maybe the AHa can live a bit longer in the box?

She'll probably have to...although, I can't train either one any wider till she's outa there...
Lots of rafters in that garage to hang a light on, so I might fire up the Atreum Hydra-1000 for the
rainy days.....

I love the levelness of those canopies Carcass,

Thank You, Stunger!
Hopefully, I can keep 'em that way through the stretch...you definitely know how that goes..

Happy Presidents Day to you sir! I can't stop looking at them!

 

[Carcass]

Happy Presidents Day to you sir!

Thank You, Stone!

I can't stop looking at them!

In those SIP's, you can almost see them grow (if you look long enough )

Girls are looking great Carcass
Happy Presidents Day ———

Happy Presidents day, folks!
Time for an Update on how these 2 SIP girls are doing-

Saturday was flip day for both of them, so today is flip+2 days

The ATF was flipped exactly when Grow Dots recommend (6 weeks of veg)

The AH was flipped 13 days early. Not sure how much that matters, but we'll see...

The Amnesia Haze (r) is still sharing the box with the ATF (L), but they're really in each others way in there, so it's just about time to finally get the AH out of there and put her outside...just in time for 3 days of rain...

The ATF- 59 days old, 36 days in the SIP- 10" tall..she's pretty healthy going in to flower..

And the Amnesia Haze- 45 days old, in the SIP for 23 days-9" tall- Never did really figure out if she's an auto or not, but now that she's been flipped, it doesn't matter...

They're both drinking half a gallon per day- it was 3/4 gallon, but flipping them reduced their water uptake, probably due to the cooler temps in the box at night...they still both seem pretty happy...

A true colors shot- front, ATF /rear, AH- you can see by this pic that the ATF is going to need all the room she can get in there, real soon...

And, back in the box- The Grow Dots/SIP combination is working pretty well so far- all I've added to their water is a little Aloe Vera powder, and a bit(1/2g) of Real Growers Recharge once a week- Both plants got top watered the day they went into the SIP's, but they've only been bottom watered since.

Both canopies are still good, but they haven't started stretching yet...

And there you have it!
Thanks for looking,
I appreciate your support..
Have a great week- See you next time..

Girls are looking great Carcass

Thanks, West! Easiest grow yet- between the sips and the grow dots all I've got to do is "just add water"

10/10 as usual carcass just another day at the office in cruise control

Thank You, GF- They're both doing so well, I hate to have to move one out of the box- feels like I'm throwing one of my kids out in the cold...

This is going to help a little on the days the sun doesn't come out...

 

[Nev]

Both plants are showing the appreciation of their master grower. Beautiful ladies C!

If I had a choice of staying out in the cold and rain or in a closet with the warmth of the Atreum lighting, I’d be all over that closet.

 

[Carcass]

Thank You, Nev!
Ha! The closet is just for her 12 hour dark period, (per my agreement with "the boss" ) so the light is hung in the garage- so, not quite as cold as outside, but not as warm as in the box.

 

[Nev]

not quite as cold as outside, but not as warm as in the box

Still way better then being homeless.

 

[Trala]

Hi C Song!

The girls look perfect! Its like double the delight!

 

[StoneOtter]

That Atrium Light is a sweet rig! Bonus for them they figure out how to set their name on it well!

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Looking good Carcass!

Who saw that coming?

 

[Carcass]

Still way better then being homeless.

Way better!- it's 50f and cloudy out there today, rainy and cold for the next 4 days..the garage is only about 65f, but that sure beats the (wet) low 50's...

Its like double the delight!

Thanks, T!- These 2 are doing a little better than usual, thanks to the SIP's

That Atrium Light is a sweet rig!

Thank you, Stone!
It is a nice little light- only 100w, so,barely enough for flowering, but fine for veg...

Who saw that coming?

Thanks, GDB!
I almost didn't...I was so worried about the closet. it didn't occur to me to just set the light up in the garage...duh!
I can only run it during the day, though- don't want the neighbors wondering "what's he growing in there"?

@LKABudMan is growing this under a 100w.

Hang a couple of black garbage bags around it and they'll just think you left the garage light on.

The wheels turn slower than they used to, but they still turn!

 

[LKABudMan]

@LKABudMan is growing this under a 100w.

And my last Auto in that tent was 7.5oz of dense little buds. I'll admit I was surprised how well she turned out under only 100w, 20/4.

 

[Lowrider72]

Going Well Carcass,
Never done Autos, photoperiod man here.
So looking on with interest.

 

[Carcass]

@LKABudMan is growing this under a 100w.

It could of just been the plant that I grew under it- Iced Grapefruit, which looked ok, but the buds were pretty "airy", didn't have much weight to 'em..

Hang a couple of black garbage bags around it and they'll just think you left the garage light on

I'm just going to turn the light and the heat mat off and put her in the closet around dusk...

The wheels turn slower than they used to, but they still turn!

Ha! just give me a little time, I'll probably get there...

And my last Auto in that tent was 7.5oz of dense little buds.

I've seen that!
I think I had the light too far away or I had some funky genetics because 100w will definitely do the trick, in the right hands...

Thanks, LR!
Well, I thought one of them was an auto, but it hadn't flowered by day 45, so
I just flipped it to 12/12 on Saturday...so we'll never know if it was an auto or not...I'm thinking not...

 

[Carcass]

A mini update?

I finally got them separated, both are on flip day#5...ATF is 61 days old, AH is 47..
Now there's enough room to train the ATF like I want to- She's 4" wider than she was an hour ago..

I think she'll end up wide enough without training past the edge of the pot- she's 2" from the walls now, and she should be touching them by Friday..she's grown 3" since flipping her on Saturday, so she's already stretching a bit...The light is set to 200 watts, according to the kill-a-watt it's plugged in to, and
she seems happy with her present situation...
It's funny- she was 10" tall, she grew 3", and she's still only 10" tall....shows what a little training can do...

And her buddy, the Amnesia Haze, spent her first night in the closet last night, and she's going to spend her days beside the box, basking in the light of the Atreum @ 85 watts until the shit weather gets past us..
It's almost 20 degrees cooler in the garage than it is in the box, so this one may grow a bit slower than the ATF . The seedling mat is to keep the res/root zone warm, which sure can't hurt..

I had to use my only seedling mat for her, so I ordered a bigger (21"x21") for the box- when I pulled the mat out of the box, the temp dropped 3 degrees, so it does do a little bit of good in there...
This one's grown 2" since Saturday- she was also a little taller before this morning's training session..

And that's about all for todays mini-update
I hope your week is going well, and your gardens are thriving!
Thank You for looking..

 

[Nev]

I’m pretty sure they are both going to be much happier now that they’ve been given some room to stretch out those limbs.

Just curious, do you wear a coat in the garage when you do your training? 65 degrees not so bad for the plant but may be tougher on the trainer.
