LUI Day 45

LUI Day 45136 LUI-Day-45

here’s a couple pics of our LUI’s on Day 45 . . . if folks are curious about how much they’ve stretched so far . . . the door jam and hanging electrical cord can serve as a frame of reference from earlier photos . . . they’ve stretched a few inches it appears . . . later today we’ll cull some males . . . then see what’s left behind in terms of “plants of the feminine persuasion” . . .

it’s been a little while since we’ve shown our LUI clones . . . so here’s what they are looking like today . . . definite 100% success rate with the LUI cloning and they are all looking pretty good . . . the clones were given a nice drink of plain water today until there was some slight runoff from each planter . . . and then a little closer look at one of our LUI backup clones on day 45 from the plant’s germination . . . some minor leaf tip curling and some leaf tip burn are evident in this shot . . . this goes back to the accidental feeding with full strength ferts a few days back . . . it won’t effect any future growth and the plants are really thriving now . . . so in the end “no harm no foul” . . .137 LUI-Day-45—LUI-Clones

a nice clone

138 LUI-Day-45—LUI-5-clone

we culled 5 LUI males today . . . one was culled earlier . . . so we had a total of 6 LUI’s express as male out of 13 . . .

Aww. . . so sad. . . too bad

A nice closeup of the evidence. . .

140 More-LUI-males

so that means we had a total of 7 LUI’s out of 13 (54%) expressed as female . . . the LUI girls were watered today . . . 1 TBSP of 2-4-1 fish fert and 1 tsp of Maxicrop liquid kelp concentrate were mixed in each gallon of water . . . each of the seven LUI girls got a 1/2 gallon drink . . . the water mix is very slowly and carefully poured on to cover and wet the entire soil surface . . . we also rearranged these babes in the 3 containers they had been sharing with “da boyz” . . . that means there are two containers with 2 plants each and the third 2′ x 3′ container holds the 3 smallest of the LUI girls . . . it’s kind of a toss-up at this point if we use two or three containers to hold our 7 remaining ladies . . . using 3 containers (18 sq feet) allows more light to penetrate and will likely lead to somewhat higher overall yields . . . that’s what we’re doing right now . . . using 2 containers (12 sq feet) would likely lead to a somewhat diminished overall yield but a greater final gram per watt figure since these babes would be using less of our garden space and some other plants could then move into our bloom area . . . at least that’s what we’d logically expect and project in yield expectations . . . here’s a day 45 look at the girls all spread out and “sunning” themselves . . .
