Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

Monday update time....
Things have changed a bit for my one lonely plant....
and not in a good way...


Yep,it's my fifth regular seed male in a row- I'm going for the record,evidently
So I'm Starting over with a couple of autos- Not much to show with them yet,since they just went into the solo cups this morning....

Here's one final look at my plant in the box- I was planning on flipping to 12/12 on Saturday,but,needless to say,that didn't happen...

Didn't get a side shot, not that it matters now, but it's 8" tall .....

Here's the damning evidence:

And the quad training was going so well...
Bummer.... So much for that.

So the autos are cozy in their cups now,after a 20 hour soak...

30:1 Pink Kush CBD auto on the left,Alaskan Purple auto on the right, both from @SeedsMan...both fems.
Hopefully I have better luck sprouting these than I did with the last bunch...

And the houseplant is ,of course,doing fine....I try to get him outside for a couple hours of sun every day...which doesn't matter in the least,since he's another damn boy...

That is just about it for today..the box is once again dark and empty for a little while...
I hope to have a couple of fresh sprouts by this time next week.

Thanks for looking...(even though there wasn't much to see)...I appreciate your support !
Have a great week,see you here next Monday (or sooner if something sprouts)
Happy Growing everyone!

Carcass how often do you add water to your seeds that you’re starting?

 

[Carcass]

Hi,Chef!

how often do you add water to your seeds that you’re starting?

I start with a cup of well watered,loosely packed soil, then just drip a little warm water on the surface every few days till they sprout. (like half a teaspoon or so)
I soak them in distilled water for about 20 hours before they go into the cups.
I put domes on them,so they don't dry out much sitting on the warmer (stove).
The domes come off as soon as the seedling pokes thru the soil,so they can get used to real world conditions right away.
The seeds I'm sprouting now are replacements from SeedsMan,since I had such bad luck with the last seeds I got from them-hopefully these do a little better....time will tell...

Yep,it's my fifth regular seed male in a row- I'm going for the record,evidently

I had 6 males before I got my first female which was the Fat Purple. I was starting to think that it was a conspiracy lol.

I have to go back a few pages I think. Playing catch up is as taxing as trim jail

 

[Carcass]

I had 6 males before I got my first female

That had to be rough...I used to get about 50/50 girls and boys from regular seeds,but this last year
it's been 100% males...I'm beginning to think fem seeds are the only way to go....
Although..1 of my males was from a feminized seed....I must've pissed karma off or something....

 

[ChefDGreen]

I remember you saying you have trouble with germination. I would suggest that you stop giving water and let the cups dry out a bit. If you watered them before hand the cups will have plenty of water to make the tap roots search for water. If you let the cups dry a bit the tap roots go searching and the seedlings come up better.

So much testosterone running around your house carcass . Sorry to hear the bad news but that quadline is a sight to behold..all for naught.

Come on autos, do your stuff!

 

[Carcass]

I would suggest that you stop giving water

Thanks,Chef-I'll try that this time-I don't give much anyway, but I'll just let them sit undisturbed this time-with the domes,they can't really dry out much anyway...

Sorry to hear the bad news but that quadline is a sight to behold..all for naught.

Thanks,Shed- everything was going according to plan, until it wasn't ...

 

[ChefDGreen]

dang carcass... what if you were to pop 4 reg seed at once? Instead of training them super early let them grow like Christmas trees just to see sex early as possible. Then either LsT the females into filling your space, or supercrop if the stems are too Woody to just bend.. you’ll have better chances to get a female and not waste so much time on plants that turn out to be male.

 

[Carcass]

I'm thinking that for my indoor grows I'm going to stick with feminized seeds from now on,and leave the regular seeds for my outdoor grow- I've got a crapload of regular seeds,so I can plant a bunch outside and cull the males as I find them.
If I let them grow like trees in the box,they'd probably reach the lights just about the time they show sex.

Funny you should say that. 2 of my first 6 male regs were from Karma Genetics.

Dang, that’s a bummer carcass. beautifully quadded male.

I think that’s a great idea. Box space is valuable space - ladies only!

 

[Virgin Ground]

Stinking males.....of the plant variety.
So very lame.

Hello btw.

 

[Carcass]

2 of my first 6 male regs were from Karma Genetics.

The fem that was male was from Seedsman, but the other 4 were homemade,so "carcass genetics" has a pretty shitty track record so far...

Box space is valuable space - ladies only!

Exactly...no room in there do do the "wait and see" thing again...

Stinking males.....of the plant variety.

Thats right- I'm hoping to get with some ladies,and they keep stalk blocking me...
Nice to see you VG...

 

[Backlipslide]

Sorry to hear about the male (again) carcass!! It’s not all that bad though! Your other sausage and egged plant looks great! Just to be culled!
hope you have better luck with these autos!!

Bloody hell Cass. that is a lot of males buddy. Thankfully your last harvest was a great one while you move on with the auto girls. He/she looked damn good tied up and trained too. I cant cope with pot luck ( no pun intended !) so have avoided regs entirety. seeing the availability of pollen now has also been a final nail on their coffin for me now too. Scrapping plants is a painful affair. good luck to you on the autos again mate

 

[Carcass]

Sorry to hear about the male (again) carcass!!

Thanks,BL- This'll be the last time-nothing but fems in the box from now on...

My regs are all going to be outdoor plants from now on...maybe if I plant 20, I'll get a female or two....or maybe I won't

 

[Backlipslide]

This'll be the last time-nothing but fems in the box from now on...

Do you promise?

 

[ChefDGreen]

If you plant 20 and get 1 or 2 females.... throw that seed in the fire!!!

 

[Herb Dean]

Finally found you mate

bloody stoner haha.

plants look beautiful man. Sorry to see your she was a he in the end. Chalk it up as practice rounds. At least you can take pride in how nice you had it looking.

cheers mate
