On with the show,
Growing LUI w/ the 3LB - From seed to weed!
Twas 10 days before Xmas, and there at the nest . . .
Not a creature was stirring, not one single pest . . .
The fluoros were hung over the seed beds with care . . .
In hopes that sweet seedlings soon would be there . . .
Back in October the birdies had cried . . .
Where can we find LUI’s we’ve looked and we’ve tried . . .
Then ~RC~ himself answered one fateful day . . .
I’ll get those seeds for you through Heaven’s Stairway . . .
Then Poppy and ~RC~ packed those lil seeds with care . . .
And within a fortnight the 3LB’s order was there . . .
A loud shout of hooray was heard through the nest . . .
Then birdies were plotting which start date was best . . .
Tonight those little seeds are nestled in right . . .
Packed tightly in moist earth they’ll sleep through the night . . .
But soon they will grow up to be big and strong . . .
And their sweet buds will be smoked in the 3LB’s bong . . .
So the story continues of those LUI seeds . . .
And the three little birds, and their growing deeds . . .
when it comes to organic soil alternatives, there should be plenty of
options. generally we look for something called "organic" and then start
reading the labels to see what's actually in the soil. we avoid soils with
chemical fertilizers and chemical wetting agents but don't have any special
preferences beyond that. when we see a decent soil on sale we tend to buy 10 bags and ask questions later. for that very reason there are several bags of FoxFarm OceanForest here at the nest as well as a couple more bags of that GardenSafe soil. there's a bunch of bagged mushroom compost. a few bags of composted humus and manure. a full bale and a half bale of plain peat. and also a bag of earthworm castings still hanging around from before we decided to raise our own worms. about peat pellets. we've tried those ourselves in the past and were generally disappointed with the results. they seem convenient and look simple to use but they always caused us more trouble than they were worth.
it all begins with a seed. one of the most important factors in growing good
cannabis is the genetics you start with. when choosing seed. a new grower
should consider their gardening skills and physical abilities and how that
might effect their strain choice. they should also consider the specifics of
that particular strain and think of how it will meet their personal needs.
good strain information can be found using the search feature here at CW to
look at what folks have said a particular plant. the overgrow strainbase and
heatherbud's wonderful cannagenetics.com site can also provide information
provided by real life growers on specific strains. for this thread the three
little birds will be growing Legend's Ultimate Indica. often known as LUI.
the seeds were produced by Breeder Steve of Spice of Life Seeds and
purchased through ~RC~ and the friendly folks at Heaven's Stairway. btw - we do want to offer accolades to Spice of Life Seeds for choosing to sell their breeding efforts in 15 seed packs! we greatly appreciate the breeders who follow this practice! We actually prefer to start with at least 30 seeds when trying a new strain, so the 15 count packs are a great convenience. Kudos!
LUI was chosen for a number of reasons. primarily for it's medicinal use at
the nest. it's just one strain we've tried in our search for the ultimate
herb to alleviate pain and insomnia. LUI has a reputation as being good for
pain relief so it was worth a try at the nest. LUI is billed as 100% Indica
and that usually indicates a heavier more sedative or "body stone". many
recreational users may find this effect boring and prefer the more soaring
high of a sativa or sativa dominant hybrid. however a heavy effect is just
what tthe doctor ordered for medicine at the bird's nest. Indica's are
generally easy to grow indoors compared to sativas. overall, they tend to
stretch less and feature quicker finishing times. all of which makes for an
easier grow for some medical users with physical disabilities. For all of
those reasons the LUI is a good prospect for our garden. and as an additiona
benefit. lots of folks at CW have experience growing it our already. so it
also happens to make a great example of what the 3LB can do in our organic
garden. in the end it all starts with a single seed. an investement in good
genetics is almost always handsomely rewarded!
