Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Trala]

Good morning C Dogg

She looks so beautiful. Carcanopy FTW!

 

[Carcass]

Anytime after 4 weeks is what I remember, so you'd be right on track.

Thank You, Azi- I went ahead and did the backbuilding cuts this morning- tried it on one bud, and ended up doing them all..

Plants are looking sticky icky!!! 2024 firing on all cylinders for you buddy!!

Thank You, @Scottay ! only 9 days in, but I'm liking 2024 so far...

She looks so beautiful. Carcanopy FTW!

Thanks so much, T!- I wish they all grew like this one...

 

[Virgin Ground]

Dayum!!!
MrC., she's a showstopper

 

[StoneOtter]

Plant supreme brother!! You're very artful! She's a heartthrob!

An absolutely gorgeous plant, Carcass! One of your best out of many beautiful plants you've grown.

So, I think we've finally figured out what to do when the Grow Dots run out of gas.
The Dots feed her for apx. 50 days, so, at the 50 day mark, you start feeding her your nutrients of choice, and it makes for a seamless transition from Dots to conventional nutrients.

Thanks for this update. My son used Grow Dots last season with pretty good success, but started supplementing a little too late in the game. I'll pass this info on to him this next season.

this bud looks like it means business...we might see a little color on her before she's done..

This pic could seriously contend for Photo of the Month!

 

[Carcass]

I went ahead and did the backbuilding cuts this morning-

I had a few more small buds to do today, so I got a few pics to show what I did..

Before the backbuilding cut:

After the cut- notice she's got a flattop now...it's important to do a little calyx damage, or the plant won't know it's been cut

This is all that was removed- so now we wait and see what happens...

This should make the buds grow rounder, instead of taller and pointy- I don''t think it makes them grow any bigger, but maybe?...we'll see in 30 days or so...

And, the quotes:

Dayum!!!
MrC., she's a showstopper

Thanks so much, VG..
About 3 inches taller, and she would have stopped the show!

Plant supreme brother!! You're very artful! She's a heartthrob!

Thanks, Stone- I can't wait to see her a month from now...

One of your best out of many beautiful plants you've grown.

Thank You, Beez!- And she's the biggest, too...(28")

I'll pass this info on to him this next season.

Took me 3 plants, but I finally got it figured out- Glad I could help!

 

[Stunger]

Beautiful work Carcass!

 

[Trala]

Good morning C Buds

I might try this bud building thang!

 

[Carcass]

Beautiful work Carcass!

Thank You, Stunger! She's a pretty good way to start the new year!

I might try this bud building thang!

Cool! - This is the first time I've done it- I don't think it'll make a world of difference, but the buds might get a little rounder and less pointy, so they'll (allegedly) look a little better.
I'll know more in a month or so...

Happy Monday/MLK Day everyone!

Seems like maybe a good time for an Update on the happy little Blue Gelato 41- 104 days old today, 91 of those days in the SIP...flipped to 12/12 42 days ago, flowering for apx. 37 days..

Grow Dots fed her for her first 55 days in her SIP, then she transitioned to Rx Blend nutes 35 days ago without any problems...

A SaugaView® from the corner...

and...from the other corner...

From the front...

She's slowly grown another inch...so, now she's 7 inches from the light at 170 watts... seems too damn close, but nothing's getting burnt yet, so I guess it's ok...she's now 29+inches tall ...

A bud- I can't really tell yet if the backbuilding is going to do anything....

Another one-

One more....I'm finally seeing some tip burn, so her feed must be just about right..

It gets a bit noisy when leaves get sucked into the fans- doesn't really hurt anything, just makes a little "buzzy"noise...

And this is about all you can see through the big door....she's staying nice 'n green so far...

Here's what she looks like from the ground up...

Still drinking over a gallon per day..she's a pretty happy plant

And there you have it!

Thanks for stopping by,
I really appreciate your support!

I hope everyone has a good week, and your gardens are thriving!

What's to say besides and carry on!

She's slowly grown another inch

The colas may be an inch longer, so there's that.

It gets a bit noisy when leaves get sucked into the fans- doesn't really hurt anything, just makes a little "buzzy"noise

It's the grow-box equivalent of the baseball card in the spokes trick.

 

[Azimuth]

A bud- I can't really tell yet if the backbuilding is going to do anything....

Think you took enough on that first pass? I usually take a smidge more than you did. Could always do another pass on a few buds and see if that makes a difference.

 

[Carcass]

Thank You, Shed!

The colas may be an inch longer, so there's that.

Oh, I wasn't complaining (and who can't use another inch? ) I may not need to worry about her proximity to the light, but I'm sure I'm going to worry anyway...(6.5-7")

It's the grow-box equivalent of the baseball card in the spokes trick.

Exactly! My son said "hey dad- your box is whining at me.."

I've kind of given up on rotating her- there's only one spot where the fans don't rub real bad, so I pretty much just leave her there now..

Think you took enough on that first pass?

Thanks, Azi-
Yeah, I think I may have went a bit light on the cuts- I'll re-do some/most of them tomorrow. (I'd do it today, but the light goes off in about 3 minutes)
I was originally going to do it this weekend anyhow, so I'll just cut a little deeper this time around.

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

That plant is stellar, Carcass.

I don't think it would be any less so if you cut off the fans that are getting into the fans.

 

[Carcass]

Thank You, GDB!

if you cut off the fans that are getting into the fans.

Ha! I've found the one spot where the fans don't get into the fans, I think I'm just
going to leave her right there till the end...
I thought about raising the fans, but the lazy meter went apeshit, so that didn't happen... and..the plants aren't usually this tall, so next time, those fans'll probably be fine..

 

[GratefulBud]

A bud- I can't really tell yet if the backbuilding is going to do anything....

Well, it's making me drool over this sweet bud.
Looking fantastic!

 

[Carcass]

Well, it's making me drool over this sweet bud.
Looking fantastic!

And they should be drool-worthier by harvest time!
Thanks, GB!
