Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[InTheShed]

Wow, that's a lot of K in the Purpinator!

Nah, but 15ml is a lot more than 4.

If I match it with the Plagron, then it's too much phosphorous...

Indeed. No one needs that much P.

Next plant, maybe I'll try 10ml/gal of Purpinator..when the dots run out of gas...

Why not the 15ml if it worked last time? If the Dots have completely run out then 137ppm of K would still be on the low side by most standards.

Have never burned one with Purpinator yet (unlike all my other plants) even with easy weed thrown in there and this one probably is far enough along that a larger dose couldn’t really hurt anything right?

Hard to know what's still in the soil in a SIP since they tend to be on the un-flushable side, and you can definitely burn a plant with Purp if you're adding it to another nute with K in it (MC or Remo for example), but if the Dots are basically wiped out then I don't see an issue at 137ppm of K.

I'll stick with 15ml, then- that 137 just sounded awful high to me...although, any numbers except the NPK are just a mystery to me...

Purpinator says you can't..but I'll bet I could...

and you can definitely burn a plant with Purp if you're adding it to another nute with K in it

For the rest of this grow, I'll forgo the Plagron, and just use
the Purpinator ..(like in the good ol' days )

I'm sure glad that's settled. I need to decide on how much Terpinator to use on my Forbidden Fruit when the Dots expire, which I expect they will soon. So absent any advice to the contrary I'll go with about 12ml per gallon. (Cause I'm too chicken to use 15.)

I second this. Great info!

If you want to hit the same K number that Carcass is using you can use the same amount of Terp (0-0-4) as Purp (0-2-4) since they have the same amount of K.

15 seems like a lot, but it's actually pretty mild stuff- The Purp/Terp folks say you can use it from start to finish...but of course, they want to sell lots of it...

Answers abound on 420 Magazine!

They do! ...I should of asked some questions 6 weeks ago

I second this. Great info!

Hi, NTH! I third it!

you can use the same amount of Terp (0-0-4) as Purp (0-2-4) since they have the same amount of K.

Good to know, for when my gallon of Purpinator runs out...then I can start on my 2.5 gallon drum o Terpinator...

Alright Carcass… you’ve convinced me

I was staring at your indoor lady and her skinnier buds and a (dim) light popped on in my head. Right before I made that batch of fem Wookies seeds, I had reversed a Hindsight photo (same seed that @Virgin Ground is growing now) in the next room.
Slight possibility of cross pollination from that photo would explain a lot of differences and the flowering. And the hindsight buds looked a lot like that.
Total opposite of the taste spectrum though, it was much more diesel-like. Great bud either way!

Carcass, get your money back!

That would explain her "different" look ,and her reluctance to start flowering...

Great bud either way!

And that's all that really matters!

Carcass, get your money back!

Ha! We'll wait and see how she smokes before I demand a refund!

 

[Virgin Ground]

Wow.
This Purpinator/Terpinator sounds amazing.

Maybe they should sponsor one of the contests?


Anyone know how long that stuff stays good for?

I’m still on my first jug even though I feel like I use it constantly…and it still smells like banana peels after 2 years I’m pretty sure it’s still good

 

[Carcass]

Hi, VG!

Anyone know how long that stuff stays good for?

My Purpinator is at least 2 years old, and it seems to still work...better on some plants than others, though...
I didn't find a "best by" date on it...

And how does someone lose/misplace 2.5 gallons of Terpinator?

He gives it to his brother in law 2 years ago, and then forgets that he gave it to his brother in law 2 years ago...

 

[Virgin Ground]

and it still smells like banana peels after 2 years

feeling fortunate that I never gave it a whiff. I have an aversion to bananas.

seems to still work...better on some plants than others, though...

Hmmm....

I think mine is from 2019.

 

[Carcass]

I have an aversion to bananas.

...As I sit here puffin' on my "Banana Ice" vape...
When I was a kid, Bananas would give me asthma if I ate too many...glad that worked itself out!

While I'm here, may as well post a pic or 2...
Still yellow, but now there's some other colors showing up too..although mostly on just the dying leaves..

Funny- on Monday I thought she had about a month to go...need to revise that a bit...how's 2 weeks sound?

she's "ripening" real fast this week-I think Wednesdays 97f in the box sped things up a little...

The buds are bulking up a bit..

And that's about it for now!
Thanks for checkin' her out..

 

[InTheShed]

97º ripens me up too! Maybe ignoring pistils this go round would be a way to go in terms of harvest timing?

 

[Carcass]

I usually go more by the trichomes and water intake than pistils- although, very few fresh pistils usually goes hand in hand with those other two things...
I do know that 97f can make me smell pretty ripe...

 

[Azimuth]

I do know that 97f can make me smell pretty ripe...

But in a good way, right?
