Another week of decent enough growth, probably sheer inertia from the smart protein, got some more in now so hopefully these will get enough kick heading into flower, still doing my cycle looking for phenos is difficult though i dont know which one to keep, seems like it's a question of how many you run right? somebody's got to go though, who's it gonna be ? waiting for it , i did some light defoliation on all the plants including these c99s. saw some deficiency early symptoms so i added bactrex boom boom spray and orgatrex. they're going strong still small though i'm not complaining at three weeks i'm counting enough leaf nodes to enjoy myself. c99s are meant to be stocky, but my lights are way up i dont event know what to tell you, first time photo first time c99 so i dont really know what to expect ! Advice welcome ! ๐
Hey guys, third grow first pheno hunt... i'm feeling sanguine aren't you ? which one of the C99s should i kill which one? who will have those deaths on their conscience, who??
I really can't decide between @thebudwhisperer 's and @hellishjam 's answer ... do you all wait until flower to choose or maybe take a cutting first? i can always reveg them right?
@Hellishjam, unfortunately my landlord's been trying to enter the lab, gonna beef up security and end up moving the lab after this run, so they'll all end up getting harvested, and i wont really be able to take cuttings and clones ... until i reopen the lab if i can... because clearly i'll have plenty of pot so...
@CRiSPrGrow, reveging IMO is tricky and a bit of a risk if ur looking to propagate a quality pheno. Def. with @hellishjam on this one. Snip ur clones prior to flower and wait on who shows as a front runner... in my Defense, I still really like the idea of a sacrificial chicken though.๐. Good luck homie๐๐๐
Hi @CRiSPrGrow! If you don't know yet which plant to select and which plant to kill, try to stress them all with various techniques. You can play on light intensity and expose them to a very intense lighting for a few hours, see how they react. You can play on temps and give them a very cold night, see how they react. Making them stress will help you selecting the strongest phenos. However, a real pheno hunt would involve growing them all to the end and include the taste/effects in your selection criterias. Let us know how this goes, happy hunting! ๐
@Stick, thanks man, it's my first pheno hunt, but i'm only now realising even 10 plants per strain is like... way not enough, not really not for a "real hunt"... maybe next time i'll see if i can get bulk seeds and some large tray tables and let's see lol
@hellishjam lol that's an idea but i just dont want so many plants you know... doesnt matter how big they are in my country ... i need your help to find which one, but i take your point about the smoke test, clearly that's the best and only way huh... i even got some phenos that cure differently from eachother lol
@CRiSPrGrow, haha weโll picture number 7, those 4 bushy very nice looking ladies look to be the best looking to me! And if you are going to flower only one, find a spot on each 4 and rub the stalk, donโt pinch to hard while rubbing just enough to release some terps! no weโre not being dirty here ๐๐๐ then smell your fingers and youโll get an idea how of theyโll smell and pick the best one that suits you!
Looks amazing my friend๐cant wait to see them full flower๐Why dont you try to pollinate 1 Bud for a crossbreed its the perfect time for it๐๐
Looks very nice iโm actually going to cross the c99 with frutilla haze should make up for a nice combination๐but no matter what the c99 is the queen of all hazeโs for me๐๐๐
Hi @CRiSPrGrow!
Those in pic 7 seem to be doing pretty good... they look strong and healthy.
Also, pic 9 (are those C99 too?), those in the first two rows from the bottom seem to be going really well compared to the others.
Let us know how this goes on... we're more than curious! ๐
@Female_Seeds, ha thanks folks, i will do, they're all doing great but have been wrestling with the weather in Paris thinking of getting some sort of tech so i dont have to run around adjusting widgets all the time lol , these have probably another two weeks ten days veg from today so plenty of time left to light a candle in the church to pray for these gens
Canโt wait to start a full biotabs grow dude. I promised myself Iโd clear all other grows Iโm creeping before pickin up new ones but when u add a biotabs test run and c99 yeah - I got no choice but to follow buddy. Cheers and good luck!๐๐
@TheBudWhisperer, @biotabs_f69 is great so far, i think they've recently added some liquid nutes to their line up aswell, just what you need in flower, but then you kinda have to ship liquids with trucks which is so 2006 (that's an eco joke!) , best thing about a biotabs grow is that it's just water 90% of the time
@DILLIGAF, from our website:
"Years of experimenting with the original Brothers Grimm C99 led to the creation of our very own C99. The origins are difficult to establish, but it was a long flowering Sweet Tai landrace crossed with a short flowering Sativa. Most likely, the Durban Poison. "
Thank you! If you have more questions, just ask... :)
@Verlido, ahaha ! you realise this is my third grow ever right? you can see my previous ones in the diaries lol thanks for tagging along, it's already going much better than the last two times lol
@CRiSPrGrow, lol! Figures eh. Yeah dude - some gorgeous pics u got of er too. Real pretty leaves on er for sure๐. This strain is definitely on the grow list for me as well.
@TheBudWhisperer, yooooo thanks for writing me, you made me notice that i had accidently duplicated my T46s with the Cindies , it's all fixed now, MY BAD , hope you think the C99s are sexy still - let me know ! ๐
