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 . . . [...]

LUI Day 41
here are the girls on Day 41 . . . the LUI’s recieved little care besides a simple “rotation” . . . we simply repositioned our 2′x3′ containers that hold the LUI’s in their 3 gallon planters . . . since they are on wheels (the containers [...]

we missed getting in pics or posts on Day 38
. . . sorry about that . . . life happens even for birds . . . the plants did get one more drink of plain water during Day 38 . . . we could have used any of our standard grow [...]

LUI Day 36 and friends
Here’s a Day 36 shot . . . we caught some of our garden helpers in action . . . the gnomes are the real secret to our success . . . at least since the Hobbits moved out . . . and a closer look at [...]

This “grow along” of LUI actually dates from 4 years ago! Our sincere and heartfelt gratitude is due to the efforts of knowledgequest . . back from CW days. . . it is directly because of his and other’s diligence of saving our posts and reposting them that we were [...]

LUI Day 32 - Group Portrait
here’s the (no longer so lil) LUI’s . . . these babes are turning into quite the bushy little plants . . . here’s a nice one . . . and pictured with an individual LUI @ Day 32 for perspective is a Gallon of FoxFarm GrowBig [...]

LUI-Day-31
Here’s a group shot of the LUI’s . . . they are getting so big it’s almost hard to call them babes . . . they are turning into legitimate lil bushes . . . Day 31 care [...]

DAY 27
though the plants appear to be looking great overall they did show some minor transplant stress . . . the mushroom compost/FFOF mix actually seems to be a little bit rich in transition from the seedling mix . . . a couple of the babes showed the slightest bit of burn [...]

LUI Day 26
today’s shot.

LUI-Day-26
there is no real odor to these soils beyond a sort of general earthy aroma . . . the FFOF has a kind of a forest litter sort of smell but nothing strong . . . the mushroom compost is darker and richer but didn’t carry much scent at all [...]

LUI Day 23
today is Day 23 for the seedlings and Day 1 for our LUI clones . . . the 13 original seedlings were watered tonight with about a gallon of water shared equally between them . . . we used the Age Old Organics grow [...]

LUI Day 22
tonight we top cloned our babes . . .
if we’re fortunate enough to get a 100% success rate at rooting this will provide us with a prefect set of back-up clones so the original babes can be moved to bloom . . . our soil mix for clones is [...]

LUI Day 20
our normal routine would be to top-clone these babes and as soon as we’re sure that the new cuttings/clones are rooted. . . then the originals (from the seed) move to bloom. . . so looking at a calendar we’ll be doing some top-cloning in the next few days. . . .then it’s [...]

LUI Day 16
the intermediate step is usually gallon or 5 quart “ice cream” buckets. . . . . . from there we’d normally step up to our 2′x 3′ containers but in cases where the babes are not sexed yet we’ll use 3 gallon or 5 gallon containers as the final destination. [...]
