So far I'm super pleased with the LUI. It definately grows well as a lollipop and doesn't stretch out of control. I've seen some sweet SCOGS with it as well. Definately a must have strain for a microgrower. Now I've only popped a couple of seeds so far but from what I can tell the strain is pretty stable. Apparently there is an Ortega and a Sweet-Tooth pheno that can come out and they are coveted.
My only regret with this plant is that I chose to grow it as a lollipop in a large pot. If I woulda LST or SCROGGED, I'd be looking at 2-3 zips.
Trimmed the rootball back on the LUI in reveg this morning. She's now in a 4" pot. This makes it alot easier to water and not overwater it. She wasn't very rootbound. I didn't need to repot to the 8" pot. Looks like the 6" is the right size for the single cola lollypop style.
Daaaaaaaaaamn, you did it again Red!
Definitely putting an order in for some LUI next round!
You continue to be an inspiration, you bad ass Canadian you...
Brilliant!
Can't wait to hear how that LUI smokes, especially after a few weeks in the jar.
That Thai Lights is a beast! That thing looks like it could easily go 16 weeks -- or 16 feet; whichever comes first.
I'm spoiled from my easy access to clones so I'm just trudging through the slow start from my seeds
It is a lot of fun to see the different phenos emerge though!
Looking really good there Red!! That Thai looks like it's going to hit the ceiling soon!
I can't wait for the smoke report on the LUI.
I'll be growing her in the future (she's in the frige) so many new genes coming that I'd like to pop first.
The LUI is now dried and came out at 19 grams and is now in the jars for curing.
I've been snipping popcorn bud off the plant all along and vaporizing. It's gonna be potent and stoney. The vaporizer doesn't give the same effect as a joint as the heavier stoney canabanoids don't make it through but I can tell it's a stoney indica. The LUI is touted for medicinal benefits for pain and will put you to sleep.
The popcorn off the Thai that I've snitched has been a bright happy high. I can't wait for this one to finish.
The main bud is a beastie. I gave it the full Brazilian haircut so it will dry right. This thing is like a warclub...
I cut the rootball back and have it repotted for revegging in a 4" pot and gave it a drink of 5-1-1 fish ferts. I'm not too happy with the rootball forensics. It didn't hardly grow into the new soil from being repotted from 6" to 8" in flowering. The roots weren't overly healthy like the LUI. I figure a combo of too large a pot, a bit of over wattering and the soil being a bit heavy.
Now there's a bit of room in the flowerbox for the LUI and Thai-Lights.
Test smoked the LUI in a joint this morning with a bit off one of the seeded lower buds. Found my first LUI x TL seed. I did a good job on the finish by using Molasses for the last two weeks as she burnt nice and white. 1/2 joint got me nicely toasted. The buzz is stoney and mellow and long lasting. The taste and smell is very nice sweet berry with a background hashiness. I gotta stay out of it until it cures.
Hi there Red.. Ive been building a dresser that uses the exact way of cooling your lights but befor i found your thread i had done stuck 2 65 cfm fans in the top.. One for blowing air in and one for sucking it out .. I see that youve only got one fan sucking air out of the light chamber .. My qustion is are there any gaines or losses by doin that .. I would say one gain would be less noise and thats what i would like to have cause those 2 fans in there sound like a vacum cleaner . But as far as i know it seems to be coolin the chamber really well which has 150hps in it .. Any advice would be helpful cause the Dresser is still in my Wood Working Shop but wanna get all the last details in befor i move it to my Spray Booth to start refinishing ( Its an early 1900's Chest of Drawers mise well make it look nice ) ... And by the way your plants are looking GREAT .. Been scanning thru this thread to look for incuragment for awhile now hahahaa
