Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Grand Daddy Black]

No known treatment for that condition unfortunately, so you might as well just embrace it.

I keep thinking sooner or later @Azimuth is going to miss an opening to promote SIPs.

I haven't seen it happen yet!

Thanks, Deeve!

The only acceptable answer is ' I asked my wife and she said No.'

Ha! actually, the shed was her idea, but she's taking a dim view on the heater and a/c unit...
And, I'm happy enough with where I grow now, so the shed is sort of in limbo right now...

tell me though has this one in the SIPs gone a little longer than usual?

It seems like it- 125 days old for the ATF, 111 days for the AH, both have been flowering for close to 65 days, flipped around day 50 or so.

I looked it up in my little book, and the last one (Zkittles) went 125 days, flowered for 59 days- so, this grow's going just a little longer than usual -the Amnesia is going to be done soon, but the ATF has another week and a half, maybe more.
The Grow Dots were scheduled to run out of juice around day 112, but I don't think they've quit working yet....
@Grand Daddy Black told me about a new "extended release" version of the Dots, so I'll be running them next grow..

No known treatment for that condition

I've definitely been hooked on worse things...

You should try one- find out what all the buzz is about....
You wouldn't be sorry- the ease of watering alone is worth the price of admission...

Just trying to spread the love.

 

[Carcass]

Just trying to spread the love.

And doing a great job of it!

And, while I'm here, how about a Saturday bud rot Update?

Last night, as I was schlepping the Amnesia Haze into the closet, I noticed
one of her buds looked "funny", figured I'd check it out more in the morning..

I did, and it turned out to be a bit of rot:

It had to go, so it went...

Here's what's left...the flat stem means it was a double bud...
I'll be keeping a close eye on this plant from here on in, if I find more rot happening, she'll get the chop a little early...I was thinking Thursday, but Sunday will work too...

Hopefully, the rot doesn't get to the ATF...

And that's about all- I was a little bummed about the rot, but, actually, it's the first time it's happened in a couple of years, so I can't really complain...I can, however, whine about it a little,
which I did....

Have a great weekend!

Damn, sorry about the double bud Carcass. She was great while she was with us. I did notice a little spot that you may want to clip away.

I just wouldn’t want it to spread any (if it’s even rot!)

ATF is so pretty. You always create such pleasing-to-look-at plants.

the shed is sort of in limbo right now

I think that's obvious by the fact that I'm just now responding to your Monday update.

122 day old ATF- 99 days in the SIP, and she was flipped 70 days ago...still 21" tall...

That is really a beautiful plant, made more beautiful in the pics because:

I turned the light down to 50w for the pics

Works a treat!

The Grow Dots are still doing their thing, except for the p&k, which I started supplementing at apx 70 days in...I'll do that from now on when I'm growing in the Dots...

So you'd say that adding Purpinator to your Grow Dots is your prescription blend?

she's still popping out pistils as if she were a youngster, so she's got some fattening up to do...

Might even rival Otter's Banner when it's done.

Now for the 108 day old Amnesia Haze- it's her 86th day in the SIP, and she was also flipped 70 days ago.
17" tall, 22" wide...

I wanna see what's under all those leaves! I'll patiently wait for harvest though.

She spends 8 hours out in the sun, and 4 hours under the 100w Atreum every day..it's warm enough now that I could leave her in the garage at night, but she wouldn't get enough dark hours if I did that, so she still gets schlepped into the hall closet every night...

I can't think of a better way to grow.

maybe it was something to do with the deluge of weather we had over summer

I hear that gale force winds can be a problem for insects...

And, while I'm here, how about a Saturday bud rot Update?

Aww, sorry to hear you lost the double bud, but if you gotta lose one may it be the less frosty one.

I did notice a little spot that you may want to clip away.

double H!

 

[Carcass]

I did notice a little spot that you may want to clip away.

Thank you for pointing that out, HH!
I think I need to remove another half inch or so, just to be safe...
But, actually, two more buds are getting that "look", so I think tomorrow may be harvest day-
she'll be 114 days old, so she had a pretty good run...and I'd sure rather lose 3 buds
than lose the whole thing..

So you'd say that adding Purpinator to your Grow Dots is your prescription blend?

I would!

Might even rival Otter's Banner when it's done.

Ha! It won't do that well, but it is looking a bit like that 10.2oz. GSC..5" shorter,though..

I wanna see what's under all those leaves! I'll patiently wait for harvest though.

It's looking like you won't wait too long- tomorrow's the day!
I'll have to get the drying box out of mothballs...

sorry to hear you lost the double bud, but if you gotta lose one may it be the less frosty one.

The count is up to three now- 1 double and 2 frosties.....sounds like a Wendy's order....

Works for me!

Mmmmm… frosty

The better late than never Harvest Update..

After finding some rot on a few of her buds, I decided today was her day...it's about 4 days sooner than planned, so not a big thing...Amnesia Haze, 115 days old, 93 days in her SIP, and flowering for 70 days...She's at apx. 5% amber trichomes, I usually wait for about 20%, but it is what it is ...anyhow, here's the pics!

A final shot before fan leaf removal...She stayed mostly green to the end, so that was nice...

First, the rot had to go..the double bud got removed yesterday, these 2 went this morning- so I only lost 3 buds in all..

And, a semi-naked shot...lots of frost was hiding under all those leaves...I tried a little tester on Friday, she's going to work just fine...

A SaugaView®, minus the big fan leaves:

I figured a silhouette shot on her way out wouldn't hurt...

2 Buds..

Trim jail wasn't too bad, but it still took me waayyy too long.... there's apx. 18oz. there, so 4.5-5oz. dry

Before going into the drying box

And, into the drying box it went- probably be in there about a week, maybe a little less...
I'll also need to keep an eye out for more rot for the first couple days...

And that's about it for that one!

A special Thank You to the Va. seed fairyfor the seed that grew this one

I'll be back tomorrow with my usual update...down to one plant now..

Have a great Monday, and I hope to see ya then!

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Happy chop day Carcass! That silhouette shot really shows off how many spears she had. Nice grow my friend!

 

[InTheShed]

Great call to save as much as you did, and you weren't kidding about the buds hiding under those leaves! Nice stacking and looks to be a nice haul for the spare plant.

Trim jail wasn't too bad, but it still took me waayyy too long

Maybe you need sharper tools!

Happy chop day Carcass! That silhouette shot really shows off how many spears she had.

Thank You, HH! She didn't look like much till the leaves came off!

and you weren't kidding about the buds hiding under those leaves!

They're not as long as I thought, but their "plumpness" makes up for it..

Maybe you need sharper tools!

It sure wouldn't hurt, I'll try that! Thanks, Shed and @StoneOtter !

 

[Stunger]

Lovely looking girl and well done on a good harvest!

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Congrats on the takedown Boss! Enjoy!

 

[Cola Monster]

Congrats. on another successful harvest Carcass.

 

[GratefulBud]

Nice harvest!

 

[Azimuth]

Good call on the early harvest. Looks like a pretty good haul!

 

[StoneOtter]

Might even rival Otter's Banner when it's done.

Almost all Carcass's grows do! Just several stories lower!

This one hanging has some really fisty colas! Sweet harvest!

 

[Carcass]

well done on a good harvest!

Thanks, Stunger!..and only 4 days early! Ya just never know about that rot...

Congrats on the takedown Boss! Enjoy!

Thanks, GDB- If the scissor hash is any indication, it's going to be very enjoyable

Congrats. on another successful harvest Carcass.

Thank You, Cola Monster! I'm glad the rot waited as long as it did...

Nice harvest!

Thank You, GB!...this is where the "accidental plant" thing pays off...

Looks like a pretty good haul!

Thanks, Azi- The 2 dollar SIP worked out real well! Later on in the week, I'll see what the roots were doing in there...

This one hanging has some really fisty colas! Sweet harvest!

Thanks, Stone- the real "fisty" ones are the ones that got topped...damn rot!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, it's Monday, which means, it's Update time!

The ATF is doing pretty well @ 129 days old,
she's been in her SIP for106 days now (and loving it!)
77 days since 12/12, still living on Grow Dots and Purpinator...

One pic before I turn the light down: (215 watts)

The rest are @ 50 watts, looks more like real life..

The SaugaView®:

One side..

The other side...

A bud.....and a tag I borrowed from some dispensary weed my son had..

A few more buds..

The "big bud" from node #1...

Best I could do for a silhouette shot...she's only coming out of that box once, on harvest day...

Lastly,a flash shot from before lights on..

It's hard to say how much longer she's got- still quite a few white pistils popping out, she's still drinking her usual half gallon per day, and she's still mostly(pale) green, and zero amber trichomes...
10 days at least...
as long as the rot stays away...
And that's about all for now..
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate the support..
Have a great week- both you and your plants!

Might as well use all ten pics- here's the (stinky)
Amnesia Haze today- no new rot..
