Legends Ultimate Indica - Hempy Buckets -Stealth CFL Cab - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

ThisBuds4You · 12-12-2008, 05:18 PM

Hey All!!!! Well, I'm just about done with my first run in my new IKEA Wardrobe CFL cab. I ran Apollo 11 and I am in the flushing stages

Had a great run and now I'm onto the next project: Legends Ultimate Indica (LUI).

My last documented grow I didn't really comment on the plant developments, just mainly posted photos so I'm going to do this one a little differently. Every 5-7 days I will do an update with pics, documenting the size of the buds, nute mix, tric development, smell, etc. Hopefully this will help a lot of noobs that need a helping hand

Please feel free to post comments and questions. I'm starting this grow in flowering, veg is boring to watch anyway, lol. This is my first attempt at growing LUI, should be fun!

LUI #2

LUI #3

petemoss · 12-13-2008, 12:01 AM

Hi ThisBuds4You! You have good taste in strains! LUI and Apollo 11 are my favorites also. Have you seen this thread about LUI? https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=17174 Good info about the different phenos of LUI. Not sure, but I think I have two distinct phenos of LUI. The Sweetooth pheno seems to be the predominant type, while the Ortega pheno is more rare and sought after. Supposedly you can smell the difference between phenos, but my sense of smell is shot from too much cigarette smoking.

I notice you are using the same Can 2600 as I use, but you have a 250 cfm fan. Is the fan speed controlled? The specs on the Can 2600 give a surprisingly low max CFM rating of 42 cfm, so you may run into odor problems with such a strong fan. Fortunately, the LUIs are a fairly low odor strain. But with something smelly like AK47, your fan may draw the air thru too quickly to remove the smells. just a thought.

ThisBuds4You · 12-13-2008, 02:34 AM

Hey Pete,

Thanks for stopping by. Your grow is pretty awesome BTW, I love your SOG

Unbelievable buds, everyone should check it out! I did get a chance to read the entire LUI thread, man it was long! But it has a lot of good info. I can't tell the difference between these 2 yet. I've also got a LUI male I am flowering in my other 250 watt cab. I'm going to try and make some seeds in a few weeks (I've got 3 more LUI seedlings in veg). I'll have to take pics of my 250 watt cab, I used your cab for inspiration (as well as icough2getoff)

Thanks buddy! I think I will do a few coco grows in there pretty soon. And I had a typo on the CFM rating of my fan. It's actually 140 CFMs. Thanks for catching that! This filter does a great job of cleaning the air, when it's not on it reeks in here. I'm not even going to try something like AK47, I think it would be waaay to skunky for me.

i'm currently growing lui also......here's my pics under 1800w of hps one of my phenos smells like grape sweet tarts......

you know that when you get to smoke that LUI, you're not going to be able to get off the couch.

Plant Health / Stats

Plant Height: 14"-16"
Bud Density: lots of buds forming - 1" tall, 1/2" diameter
Trichome Production: little frost forming

Notes:

These 2 LUI plants are stretch monsters, I was surprised because this is an Ultimate Indica. I've LSTed the main branch & side branches. I hope the stretching is just about done. I have been able to keep all plants at the same height. I mistakenly broke a branch

, so we'll see how SuperCropping works! LOL. I haven't taken any LUI clones, but I will take clones and post in the next report (noobs, don't take clones this late!) LUI seems like it will be easy to clone, unlike Apollo 11. Forgot to post a pic last week, so new pics coming in the update this evening.
I also want to make a note of the pistils on the LUI, they are kind of thin and wispy. Other strains I've grown have been very fat, thick pistils, but not the LUI. I will keep an eye on this and we'll see if it changes...

overmind1632 · 01-16-2009, 11:42 PM

What!!! A11 is know to be super easy to clone. Thats too bad you had trouble cloning A11 cause its a keeper.

petemoss · 01-27-2009, 03:50 AM

Hey ThisBuds4You, haven't seen any updates/pics for a while. How's those LUI coming?
Your Apollo 11 plants finished beautifully! Guess you've been busy smoking some of those fat buds! And all done under CFLs - very impressive. I wanted to ask you about your LUI grow but not sure if you are still around.

ThisBuds4You · 01-27-2009, 06:38 PM

Hey Pete,

Lol, yeah, you're absolutely right. I've gone from smoking once a week to several times a day since the Apollo finished, lol. I've been tweaking the CFL cab and now I've got my temps to stay at about 80

. Since I've been able to get the temps down a little, I was able to add bigger CFLs. I've also added a UVB bulb, I'm quite sure this has made a big difference in the resin production in the plants. I have one Apollo on the UVB shelf along with the other LUIs and they are insanely frosty. I've also got the other cab up and running (250W HPS) and I've got a new and bigger veg cab. I've started a bunch of new seedlings (Mazar-I-Sharif freebies) I got from SBay and some older stock I had. Sorry about the updates everybody!

The LUI is doing great. Its moving along slowly but surely, should finish at 70 days. I snapped this awesome bud closeup a few days ago. As I stated before,these LUIs are the some of the frostiest plants I've ever grown. I have taken the PPMs up to 1500, I think this is as far as I want to push them (I burned the tips of the leaves a little bit). I will start flushing in 7-10 days. They smell nice, not really sure if I can tell what they smell like yet. Maybe a few more days will tell... I've got some closeups I need to post, but I think the server is down for maintenence. I will get a better overall pic up here when lights are on also, I've gotta feed today anyway
