Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[con]

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!

That plant is KILLER nice!, i think that 1 bud wants to sacrafice itself for a tester

Thank You, con!

Ha!- It'll have to get in line- I've already got 2 testers in various stages of dryness...
The little one I tried last week got me seriously zooted a couple of times..
these 2 might be even better...

she does look real good, i'm sure the more nature buds will even be better, Enjoy

 

[Scottay]

Looking damn fine!! Happy Monday!!

 

[InTheShed]

Still standing, still stunning!

A peek thru the little door:

The peeks show less and less every time. What's up with that?

Grow Dots fed her for her first 55 days in the SIP, switched to RxBlend 63 days ago

If they still made Rx Blend you would have an Rx for all future grows, but alas...

She still drinks a gallon per day-

Whoa, good for her! I'm keeping my powder dry.

...and then there's this

Ooh ooh, she's a little runaway!

 

[Carcass]

i'm sure the more mature buds will even be better, Enjoy

Thanks, con- and I'll probably know for sure by tomorrow..

Looking damn fine!! Happy Monday!!

Thank You Scottay!
Speaking of Monday, this may be her last one...

The peeks show less and less every time. What's up with that?

That damn plant gets a little closer to the door every week...

If they still made Rx Blend

Yeah, I know, when I'm out, I'm out...I'm pretty sure I've got enough for 4 more plants...then I start on Remo Nutrients...maybe, if they're not expired by then...

Whoa, good for her! I'm keeping my powder dry.

If anything, she's drinking a bit more than usual...but she seems to be
putting it to good use..

Ooh ooh, she's a little runaway!

 

[Trala]

Good morning C Valentine

Roses are red
Your Blue Gelato is awesome
Talk to the wife
See if she’s up for a foursome…

Omg that one even made me lol and I wrote it!

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Speaking of Monday, this may be her last one...

Looks like I’ve strategically timed things exactly right, and shown up to dinner right as the food hits the table!

Corner shot...

MMm!!! (said with some stank on it!)
You have done a beautifully perfect job of filling that box Carcass. You’ve really outdone yourself this time!

I'm amazed that everything down that low is still green..it's friggin' dark down there!

Now that’s what I call deep penetration! (I’ve been hanging out with Tralal too much lately )


So I totally read this one wrong, but it was so funny to me!

Thank You, T- Whoever

First glance, I thought you were referring to her like she does you

Hey C Legend!

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

HA! That was my first thought too!

---

What a beautiful grow Carcass, I’m so impressed. Looks like I’ve lost my yellow leaf harvest buddy, cause you have absolutely nailed it. Too bad the rx nutes are no more, I would’ve jumped on that train too. Alas, I’ll just have wait for you to figure it out with something else Looking forward to the harvest update, I’m betting she will be your heaviest hitter yet!

p.s. Happy Valentines Day to you and Mrs. C!!

 

[Carcass]

Omg that one even made me lol and I wrote it!

...Happy Valentine's Day to you and your soul mate, Trala !
Although, I'm a day late

Now that’s what I call deep penetration! (I’ve been hanging out with Trala too much lately )

It had to be said.....

HA! That was my first thought too!

Yeah, most of the buds around the edges have a little bite taken out of them...I swear, they like getting all up in those fans..

I’m betting she will be your heaviest hitter yet!

p.s. Happy Valentines Day to you and Mrs. C!!

I think You're right, HH- I'm interested in what she's going to look like out of the box, with no walls to lean on..

And a very Happy Valentines Day to you and Mr H!

 

[StoneOtter]

WooHoo! Day by day now Carcass?

 

[Carcass]

Day by day now Carcass?

Pretty much, Stone- To me, she looks done, but trichomes say not quite yet...
and she's still drinking as much as ever, so she may have 4 or 5 days to go...
She's 135 days old, flowering for 10 weeks, so I'm sure It'd be ok to harvest her any time now, but I'd like to see just a little more amber before the chop...

 

[Trala]

...Happy Valentine's Day to you and your soul mate, Trala !

I prefer to think of him as my sole mate coz I like to keep my foot firmly on his throat.

 

[Carcass]

Happy Sunday, 420!
How about a Blue Gelato 41 bud rot update?

Notice that the circled bud is just a tiny bit different color than the rest?

A closer look- those random yellow/beige leaves means something's going on with that bud...

I can't rotate the plant to see behind the bud, (and my head won't fit thru the little door) so a little mirror helped me out- that's rot in the mirror.. I was careful to not disturb the bud, don't need more of those spores flying around in there...

Rot isn't a "let's wait and see what happens" thing- that crap's gotta go now..so- I covered the bud with a baggie, snipped it off apx half an inch below the visible rot, then I gave what's left a blast with 3% hydrogen peroxide, to hopefully kill any spores that are left behind..

So I'll be on bud rot watch till harvest time- fortunately, that's likely in 2 or 3 more days...

Thanks for looking..
I'll be back in here tomorrow with a regular update, it may be her last.
Have a nice evening- see you tomorrow

 

[KeithLemon]

I hope you got it. I had bad bud rot last year, but I grew outdoors. Any bud rot sucks.

Hope you got all of it would hate to see that plant & all the work you put into it go to waste,

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

Good catch Carcass. Glad her due date is right around the corner. I hate that feeling of bud rot worries.

 

[Carcass]

I hope you got it.

You and me both, Keith! I've also had it on outdoor plants, this is my first indoor bud rot...

Hope you got all of it

I think I got all of that one, so I'm watching closely for any others now...
Chances are, I'll just go ahead and harvest her if I find more..
With bud rot in the picture, "a little more amber" doesn't seem that important...

Thanks, HH-
Me too- glad this didn't start a month ago... if it had to happen, now's the "best" time..
I know worrying won't help, but I'll do it anyhow......

 

[InTheShed]

Good ol' eagle eyes! And to spot it on the back of a bud is even more impressive. Great save and may that be the last of it.

 

[StoneOtter]

Super good looking Carcass! Another crisis averted! What kind of rh do you see?

 

[ThirdUncle]

Yes sir good thing u noticed that rot !!! It just shows that your a keen & watchful gardener , your connected with your plant & it shows , those are some mighty fine flowers , peace & take care
