Wow! I've never considered myself to have a refined sense of anything...but the smell of sweet grapefruit from these C99's is undeniable! They definitely grew in a pattern i associate with sativa strains...long and willowy. Their smoke is pretty in line with that also, mellow but uplifting, not overwhelmingly long lasting, so a perfect daytime or early evening strain.

I used the full Green Buzz line through this entire grow, and it all worked beautifully especially the More Roots product. I had to bump up the doses on the Grow liquid but other than that it all worked well.
I've had good results from plant success and they're fairly easy to get hold of. Since their sister company is Great White I figure it's a win.
I noticed the biggest effects when i used superthrive to help boost my slow seedling stage, but handy throughout the grow.
I love Fox Farm, they're easy, reasonably priced, and make good soil. You can't really go wrong with any of the products I've used.
Dyna-grow works good for me. The only negative thing I could say is the O.D.A did sample studies on various products and protekt reported slightly higher #s or percentages of ingredients or spore counts than there actually was...so just something to be wary of. That just because the bottle says something doesn't mean it's wholly true.
Undecided about the positives of adding this in, but will try again and use in the recommended weeks of flowering versus the end weeks.

I had a great time growing the C99, they turned out gorgeous, I got to try some new things like the Schwazzing attempt, learned more about removing unnecessary branches and leaves, got a polyploid bud, and got to do a full test of the Green Buzz products. The plants probably didn't respond to the Schwazzing as well as I had expected, but it was also a 1st attempt and I do not have as powerful lights as the 3 A Light people. Next time i will try doing it accurately to only one plant and watch for difference. Even with all the training I did, LST, extreme defoliation, removal of all bottom bits...I still wound up with a large amount of Larfy buds, both in the center of each plant and at the lower ends of each main branch. At least 23 grams were trim and larf, do we cry over this? No....instead making some edibles or something like that sounds like a good idea, so I popped all that into the freezer so it'll stay fresh for when I'm ready for a concentrate or gummie day. The most difficult part of this grow was definitely the last 3 weeks. I was having a very difficult time being patient waiting for trichromes to change their glassy appearance and give me the signal to harvest. However it was wonderful to have other same strain diaries to look at and get ideas from and had so many fellow growers here cheering these plants on and reminding me to chill out. πŸ˜‚ Thanks so much for everyones support of this grow, encouragement and advice. βœŒοΈπŸ’šπŸŒ± Happy growing, harvesting, and puffing.

Has anyone tried that Schwazzing method on here? (Extreme defoliation right at flower). Successfully or unsuccessfully. Any tips if so?

Scribsanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey dude - I grow a Sativa and although she's way less bushy than yours, I still defoliate/prune to ensure all leaves get equal exposure to light. As said in another answer, leaves are like solar panels, and those getting minimal lighting or living under the shade of other leaves are basically draining more energy than they produce, whereas fully exposed leaves can produce energy at optimal levels thus offsetting the energy cost. A solar panel in the shade is useless. Also, more leaves = more energy consumed, energy that's not going into growing buds. For example, when you clone, the reason you cut half of each leaf's fingers is to reduce the cost in energy consumption from the leaves, slow down the pace at which the plant processes the remaining nutrients in the stem, and focus the remaining energy instead on root growth vs upward growth. When I prune & defoliate, I basically reduce the plant's maintenance cost from leaves, so that the saved energy goes into buds, and I only get rid of buds or leaves that receive minimal light. In flowering, I've pruned dwarf budsites that would never grow more because completely underexposed. Hope this helps.

I hear ya @doctorphilgood I'm usually very modest with my pruning because i agree with the solar panel aspect and it just breaks my heart cutting away at a plant. The 1st time i heard of this Schwazzing was on kisorganics.com cannabis cultivation and science podcast and then its popped up since then. So i think i only have it in me to do a side by side exam versus hacking both plants to bits. I have definitely seen great results from cutting away low branches on plants though....all trial and error i suppose.

@Fitzwell, think i should tie down a few main branches as they grow, or just do the easy main single stem tie down?

@Experimentgreen,u only need to lst after you get your third set of branches until flowering then let it ride.

@Fitzwell, lol thanks. I'm so bad at trying to lst too late and breaking branches. So even though i topped em i figure i might as well tie...i can always undo if need be....maybe.🀣

@Mrs_Larimar, it's crazy how orange it's tip got... some photos i took it looked almost red! it was so easy to spot amongst the other buds it's almost funny.
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarweek 16
The C-99 is wonderful for mainlining and structured grows.... ... i gave my girls only 3 branches to grow and shook her every morning ( softly shaking the branches so they strenghten up) give it a try and feed them some silica ( next time=?) that strengthen the stems and branches too. Your Girl looks very nice . hows the smell=?
Experimentgreen
Experimentgreen
@Mrs_Larimar, that's a good idea...usually i have a fan blowing gently to strengthen them but i think they needed more when they were younger. I have been doing the silica though. Thanks girl you've got the best advice.πŸ˜˜πŸ’œ Actually i was squeezing them last night and the smell made me think of a sweet grapefruit....definitely a sweet citrus smell going on. I think they'll be ready for the chop here soon.

@Mrs_Larimar, i thought i did see some of it...maybe early on? I'll have to go peep it out. Mine grew so strong and big for the minimal light it got. And resisted the bugs so that was great.

@Mrs_Larimar, thank you 😘. I was a bad girl this last week....I was super sick and christmas i had let them go a bit too long without water. The one was so wilted it lost several bottom leaves. But they bounced back after getting a good drenching thank goodness. The one plant has a mutant branch/bud. Poyploid.

She looks terrific and sure the chop isn’t far at all. Like mine a little dopey too so can appreciate why you’d rather wait than rush it.
