Thanks GardenofAutos for sharing the bean! For anyone new to my diaries, my grows are done on a low budget. I try to keep energy costs low so I am using inexpensive well rated LEDs. I’m growing in a spare shower. I use a homemade bucket swamp cooler inefficiently to lower heat and add humidity when needed. I’m in the southern california premium oceanside agricultural zone so my climate is excellent but I don’t own my land so I can’t grow outside. I am growing under California prop 215 as a medical patient. The only splurge I have made was on the air pots, which I felt was a good investment, and I have a variety of brands—there are good deals on these on Amazon. I also got a carbon filter and fan but I only use it during the stinkiest time of flowering. I’m really excited to grow this. I felt resigned to buy sativa leaning hybrids or sativas because I really don’t have the lights or the space to grow it, but this one sounds suitable as a more compact growing flower. It also sounds like a great daytime strain for me because it’s high in CBD and good for neuropathic pain. I germinated using a nonstick surgical sponge soaked in purified water and wrung out gently, sandwiching seeds between 2 layers and then sandwiching this between 2 cheese plates. (It was handy—I was looking for cotton pads but I am sticking with these sponges because they worked so well). Once a taproot emerged I moved the seedling into a jiffy pellet but because these dry out so fast, once the seedling popped up, I slipped the pellet and seedling into a 1 L (nearly solo cup sized) airpot filled with rinsed Black Gold seedling mix comprised of canadian peat moss and perlite with a little compost. She seems like a happy little princess so far. She’s in with the big girls for 12 hours while they finish up and gets additional time under a CFL for just the next week until the big girls get harvested. From Female Seeds: Genetic lineage: C99 x C99 Indoor: 8-9 weeks Outdoor: YES. See page … for suitable Outdoor zones worldwide and corresponding harvest periods Height:Indoor: 80-100 cm | Outdoor: 150-200 cm Yield: Indoor: 500-600 g/m² | Outdoor: 400 g/plant Taste/smell: Sweet and fruity smell of pineapple and grapefruit Effect: Warm, glowing, happy and uplifting Sativa high fueling creativity It was one of the first strains in female seeds that was launched at the birth of Female Seeds in 2003. But Ferry actually first started working on this strain back in 1999 and the first batch he produced of this amazing variety were regular seeds for a different seedbank. 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. The current batch we are selling was backcrossed to stabilize the genetics with two specially selected C99 phenotypes, a Grapefruit and the legendary Pineapple pheno. The result is the holy grail of cannabis strains, a fast flowering Sativa that has the taste and high of an exceptionally sweet landrace Sativa. A landrace that would normally take up to a half a year of flowering. Yet our C99 flowers in just 8 to 9 weeks. Our C99 has an unusually high CBD content for a Sativa strain. It actually resulted in a new chemotype, CBD-Sativa. The C99 does not stretch too much and grows like a dream, very vigorous. If you really want to maximize yield, we suggest you veg the C99 for four weeks. Outdoor it stretches more than average in the flowering stage reaching a height of between 2 to 3 metres. This C99 is a Sativa dominant hybrid and has 2 phenos. One is slightly more compact and the other stretches slightly more. The C99 forms one giant, candle shaped bud with several smaller nugs on lower branches. All very dense and frosty with resin. Topping this strain or LST is not a problem for the C99. She is also a great strain for outdoor finishing mid-October in more temperate and warmer climates. The C99 is very mold resistant outdoors due to its bud structure. Therefore high humidity is not an issue for the C99. One phenotype has that wonderful grapefruit smell. The other phenotype has that legendary, sought-after pineapple smell. On the whole, a very nice balanced taste between fruity sweet and pleasantly acidic. The high is a typically Sativa; a warm, glowing, happy and uplifting effect. This high is long-lasting and stimulates the mind providing you with plenty of creative energy. Medicinal: Neuropathic pain management (class A) Relief of symptoms for Crohn’s disease and Colitis Ulcerosa (Class A) Relief of symptoms of insomnia (Class B) Relief of symptoms of spasms and MS due to its CBD content (Class C)

This is a nice eager princess with jazz hands up towards the light though she was tacoing a bit so I raised the light another 2” and give her an occasional timeout by setting her away from the light for a few hours. She is the tallest of my 3 seedlings. I topped her once and have been using Cal Mag as a foliar spray.

This is the nicest looking plant right now. Feeding 1x per week and watering about every 3-4 days. I lowered the light to 14” from top of plants. Will start some LST next week.

Growth has been pretty slow. Finding a sweet spot where the lights don’t burn but also where they aren’t stretching has been tricky. I have topped at the third node. Any tips on training for blurple low watt LED scrog appreciated!

Just transplanted and didn’t want the photos to get confusing. Will add more images through the week. Did some lst. No nutrients, just water, microbes and mycorrhizae.Recipe 420 soil from EB Stone Organics, with 30% perlite added.

I’ve pulled a few leaves to encourage side branches. This is my first sativa and I also am appreciating the art that Female Seeds put into this plant. Magic. It’s really gratifying to see this plant take off. These are the biggest fan leaves I have grown. Raised the light to 20” above leaves after consulting with @bigpun who is growing some amazing weed. The internodal spacing seemed a bit tight. It’s been dry or my hygrometer went kaploey. I’ll fire up a humidifier tomorrow if it continues.

Added a 65w Horticulture Lighting Group Quantum Board, turned my Viparspectra blurple LEDs 90 degrees and raised lights to, currently 18” above canopy. Still looking very green so no nutrients. I have them in the diary at low values so that I don’t need to reenter them every week for each diary when I use them. Added nutrients 400 ppm and nematodes 4/25. Some light defoliation.

4-30 Beginning of the week, watered and fed, upping nutrients to 500 ppm as she’s a bit light. 5-1 Fed again 600 ppm, just grow nutes as she was still looking a bit hangry and thirsty. She looks extra perky on 5-2, though it kind of looks like she decided to flower. I asked @FarmerBrett about it and he said not to worry about it. So I am not worried. I checked my timer. 18/6. I plan to flip soon anyway, 1-2 weeks. 5-4 more water with 660 ppm nutrients including some Terpinator. The color is a little yellow because photos are taken under my 3000K led light, but it’s more pale green than it should be and I want her to be well fed before bloom stretch. I don’t know wtf is going on with the early budding.

5-9 I watered with more Cal-Mag and added some Terpinator to start moving towards bloom which this girl seems eager to do. Next week! 5-8 I rotated her a bit. 5-10 finally looking more green. Watered with 600 ppm grow + bloom nutes 5-11 watered with nematodes. Rearranged space and super cropped

Flipped to flower 6-22 Last water/food 6-24 6-25 Took photos and defoliated a little. Will do more this week. I was concerned that the preflowers might be some weird early budding. Even if so, there are fat spade like bud sites coming in with hairs coming out that look different. 6-26 this plant had so many preflowers that I was curious to see where the budsites would come in. 6-29 Watered/fed lights -> 12/12, were at 13/11

7-16 This thing blows my mind. She smells like overripe pineapple. Frost coming in. Mad stacking. The leaves can be floppy but otherwise look healthy. It’s really hard to take a picture of how huge these colas are coming in. Never thought I could grow big buds like this with my low watt LEDs! 7-19 Fattening up and reeking more with some orange hairs coming in.

This was a surprisingly fantastic plant—biggest buds/colas I have grown. Had a nice sweet pineapple scent then it evolved into grapefruit. Lots of slim fingered leaves. It’s a light easy smoke, tasty like a grapefruit soda, not much dry mouth. Pretty functional.
