Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

Omg where has the time gone? It only feels like yesterday when you birthed magic and I birthed a fucking monster!

Time does fly by, don't it?...a couple more weeks, and I'll be ready for our grow #2.5...

Maybe your fan will show what a  real bud topping can do.

Maybe!...and we can call it "back beating"...

Truely beaut budage bro

Thanks so much, ThirdUncle! and Thanks for stopping by!

Glad to hear you're past the bug!

So am I, Stone- that shit was rough...I haven't been that sick in 30 years or so- glad it was only a 3 and a half day thing...

And Blue Gelato grows on like she owns the place! Stunning!

And she does own that place.... at least for another week and a half or so...

Good morning C Horse!

And yeah boiiiiiiiiiiii!

I’ve caught up again on your thread, Carcass. The Blue Gelato is a very pretty plant. I think each successive grow, your plants look better and better.

Sorry to hear you got the flu. I had that one as well and it definitely wasn’t pleasant but at least I didn’t have to put up with a power outage. I’m happy to hear you’re feeling much better.

 

[Carcass]

The Blue Gelato is a very pretty plant.

Thank You, HashGirl!
She's trying to stay like that all the way to the end, and that almost never happens...

I’m happy to hear you’re feeling much better.

Thanks, me too..
that was rough...
But at least it wasn't covid...I've managed to dodge that bullet so far..

She's about a week from harvest and she's still got her looks...

Thanks, con!
Yeah, she's using about as much space as she can in that box..

Been down with the flu for the last 3 days, finally feeling human again today..I was too sick to even fill the rez on my plant on Saturday, so she went thirsty till Sunday morning...when the power went out and stayed out all effing day..

So she had a drought day, followed by a day of darkness...which definitely can't be good for her, but it didn't seem to bother her all that much....
Anyhow, how about an Update on the 125 day old @Barney's Farm Blue Gelato 41?
It's her 112th day in the SIP, and she's been suckin' up the RxBlend nutes for 56 days. GrowDots provided her with nutrients for her first 65 days (apx.)

The SaugaView®

She was flipped to 12/12 70 days ago, and started flowering 12 days later...

Corner shot...

She's finally fading a little bit, but just in a couple of spots..

The other corner shot...

Those are some very dense buds...

Through the little door:

I scoped 5 or 6 buds, and still not an amber trichome to be found..seems like there should be a few by now...the low temps in the garage may be slowing things down a little..but she'll get there, eventually..

The big bud...

A leaner...

A chunky little bud..

A little "below the canopy" bud...it looks like it's growing some fur..

The box was making a "buzzing" noise this morning- and I found this poor little bud was stuck in the fan .....kinda got the shit beat out of it...

And finally, a not so good shot thru the big door....

And that's about it for today!
Thanks for looking, I appreciate your support..

I hope your gardens are as happy and healthy as can be!

Stressing plants near the end can produce more trichomes.
Or so I'm told.


Looking GREAT!

 

[Trala]

Good job C Monster!

You just gotta bring her home now!

 

[Carcass]

Thank You, Grateful!

Ha! I've considered droughting a few plants, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it for more than a day or two

You just gotta bring her home now!

Thanks, T!
Just waiting on a few amber trichomes now- she actually looks
ready to me, but the trichomes say not quite yet...
And, she's still drinking a gallon a day@ 130 days old...

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

And, she's still drinking a gallon a day@ 130 days old...

Sounds like she intends to hang around for a while!

That being the case, I'm going to go out on a limb with a bold prediction:

Those leaves are not going to stay green until the end. They're going to fade into a variety of lovely fall colors. But they will not dry up and most will not fall off.

I see you agape. Yes, that is my boldest prediction to date!

 

[Carcass]

Ha! I like your prediction!
And it actually could happen in her last week...
or two...

that's what the GSC did..

Of course it did!

It was the basis of my bold prediction that you just exposed as, perhaps, less than bold.

Sheesh.

 

[Carcass]

It was the basis of my bold prediction that you just exposed as, perhaps, less than bold.

Ha! I was hoping she would get colorful, too- although, I've always suspected that those colors showed
up on the GSC because I wasn't feeding her quite right....

We'll see with this one- my "7 more days" prediction is looking wronger and wronger as time goes on, so she may be with us for a couple more weeks-

What say you, Shed? Ten days or friggin' nine?

Lookin good mate

 

[Carcass]

Shed might say I need to have 2 harvests- Harvest the larf now, and the rest "later on"...

Lookin good mate

Thanks so much, Absorber!

 

[InTheShed]

Sorry for the delay...weird weekend! Plant still looks stellar and the flowers are quite fat I must say.

What say you, Shed? Ten days or friggin' nine?

Without seeing the trichomes and the fact that it's already Sunday, I'm going with 8!

Shed might say I need to have 2 harvests- Harvest the larf now, and the rest "later on"

Harvest (and bin) the larf 6 weeks ago.

 

[Carcass]

Thank You, Shed- Those buds seem to like it that close to the light..

I'm going with 8!

Ha! I'm going with at least 8..

Harvest (and bin) the larf 6 weeks ago.

I did that about 6 weeks ago!
.... but it all grew back...

 

[Carcass]

Happy Monday, folks!
It's update time for the @Barney's Farm Blue Gelato 41!

She's 132 days old, and she's been in her SIP for 119 days.
Grow Dots fed her for her first 55 days in the SIP, switched to RxBlend 63 days ago..
She's been on a 12/12 schedule for 77 days, flowering for 65 of those days...

She's a healthy girl!

A peek thru the little door:

SaugaView®:

She's getting pale in a few spots, but overall, she's still mostly green...

I scoped a few buds, and I'd say she's at apx. 2% amber, so she's slowly getting there...

Her buds are pretty dense- the big ones are 9" from the light@ 175 watts/60k lux...
I'm surprised I'm not seeing any light damage, but she just soaks it all up..

A few buds:
There's very few new pistils popping out, so she's getting closer...

She still drinks a gallon per day- she should start drinking a bit less pretty soon

A lower bud- not bad for growing in mostly shade...

...and then there's this...

And there you have it for today!
Thank You for looking,
I really appreciate your support

Have a great Valentines Day and a happy, healthy garden!
