Nice little mix of colors in those Griffen.

HGG, those look BEAUTIFUL!!!
How much do you think you'll get dry from that one?

Great work man, blueberry is such a tough one.

Hey y'all, I thought I'd ask some grower's advice for C99.

At day 30f, I can really see how these ones in particular need special attention with their stem support. The buds are filling in nicely but the stems are so thin! Would you say that it just needs a few stakes in the pot and a few pieces of string to hold them as vertically as possible? That's what I've got right now, with the string about 5 or 6 inches from the tops of the plants. Or, should I go out of my way more than that?

I stake everything, even strains with the thickest branches, with the idea being that it allows the plants to divert more growth energy from stabilization to flowering. Usually around the end of week 2. For some types of fruits and vine crops, farmers have been doing this for a very long time. The stakes do not need any readjusting after they have been put in. If you are interested in trying, you can buy bamboo stakes for quite cheap and they will last a few years. The plastic-coated metal stakes cost more but will last forever. Home Depot is a good place to find those.

I’m very excited about this cultivar. I chose it as my outdoor Indica for its fast finish time but I did read that it’s susceptible to mould in late flower. I plan to top where I can and hopefully keep the bud size down a bit although I’m not sure how big they are normally. It’s also in a 30 gallon smart pot so it may be possible to move under cover when necessary in the fall. Indoors I have 3 clones ready to go into flower I’m just not sure if I want 4 or 8 colas

Neither BB nor Purple Kush are known for growing large colas. It could still unexpectedly pop up in a hybrid though. Thanks for letting me know about the mold issues. I live in a humid coastal area so I always have to be on the lookout for that.

I LST and MST(medium stress training) and never have weak branches or stems since they are forced to build some muscle. C99 demands nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve run anywhere from 50 to 62 days and never had a heavy yield plant. Potency ranges from very good to tingly white-knuckle, rushing punch. No hint of couchlock. Not for babes in the woods.

Hey @H G Griffin. I even made KN F2s. Have fun

Sampling C99 popcorn in the Vapor Genie Aluminum this morning.

Thanks Gio, and anyone who had kind words.

This was a mom that was kept small and stunted. It would have hugely benefited having a few weeks vegging under strong lights before the flip but it didn't get them. This is a wee plant and I doubt there'll be two zips.

Good morning, @hillbill, I haven't grown KNL since I first started growing, so I'm looking forward to seeing how she does. I take it you're a fan if you made F2's. I'm still trying to find a keeper indica for the mom cab.

I'm about to load the dynavap with some Cindy and watch last night's fights. Saw the prelims last night and a dude from my town got a vicious KO. Hoping the rest of the card is as good.

Have a great Sunday, gentlemen.

Northern Berry is more powerful than Peak website lets on.

The reason I'm asking is because I read somewhere on RIU that someone adjusts their stakes DAILY when growing C99, at this point in the grow. It seems a bit excessive to me, but I thought I'd take the safe route and ask your experience.

One thing I'm pretty impressed with is the trichomes on the leaves at this point. Look at the outer edges of the smaller, lower leaves on that stem. The discoloration isn't the leaves, it's from so many trichomes. This may be a good plant for making hash.

Thanks.

Looking great!!

For me it’s the cold October rain. Thanks for the info on bud size!

One good thing about Peak’s BB is that for an indica, it doesn’t seem to have as wide a footprint In comparison to other indicas I’ve grown.

GDP, Purple Urkle and even GSC are taking up way more real estate In my current grow.

Might be another reason to grow BB on its own, you could fill up your room with many and pheno hunt.

Sample size = 3, take all that with a grain of salt, but I’m seeing it in all three plants.

Kush x c99 a few days into flower.

I’ve been holding a pack of PKxC99 for
a year - I need to run those soon...but still thinking my next grow will be skunkberry or
Hazeberry. I need some berry flavours in my stash. I also need ‘stay awake’ weed. @sourshoes now that you have had the hazeberry a while are you still diggin it?

I was digging it, until I smoked it all!

Sweet Skunk is up next for me!

Screwing around in my garden files and saw this photo. Can't recall if I've posted it or not. This is the SB x BB backcross that I am so happy with. Smell, taste and effect are all heavenly.

(The last BB I harvested was not impressive. Maybe some time in the jars will help, but in addition to being small, she also has a fairly strong myrcene/earth smell that I don't care for. It's potent, but I expect more from BB.)

I last posted this one on 42f a few pages back. Here she is on 61f. Getting close.

[sourshoes]

Oooeee that looks nice.

 

[H G Griffin]

One last photo. Full plant shot. She looks so lonely in there, the last survivor.

 

[Snowback]

Looking nice Griffin!

Kush Berries are insanely vigorous in veg so far. Nothing ever bothers them. Not a weak one in the bunch. One of the least temperamental varieties that I have done in a long time.

Northern Skunk in the Vapor Genie Aluminum, out of my freezer and into the bowl, powerful and woodsy and pine and hashish, smooth sideways rush to the face, good Peak NS. Buds are very dense, some English Leather and Lavender smell.
