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.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?
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’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
Thanks Gio, and anyone who had kind words.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.
Looking great!!Hey y'all, I thought I'd ask some grower's advice for C99.

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.

For me it’s the cold October rain. Thanks for the info on bud size!Neither BB nor Purple Kush are known for growing large colas. It could still unexpectedly pop up in a hybrid though.

I’ve been holding a pack of PKxC99 forKush x c99 a few days into flower.
I was digging it, until I smoked it all!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?
