worry not aobut a mother...ime all the fs c99 are keepers...very little variation to the high..as a matter of fact I recommend selfing them in order to have and almost endless supply of beans

maybe some day kite.. female seeds prices are really great though ,so no great panic since i'm such a small scale grower.. if i was like yourself with a full grow room then yes deffinitly.

You tried any other female seeds gear? , i was considering their ice or iced grapefruit or their nl. Though i have white labels nl to try out for my next grow.

just out of interest, these are the beans i have in my possesion ..which apart from the c99 would you want to grow the most .. or have you any experience or opinions on these..

i got

2x seedsman white widow

2x white lable Nl

1 more c99

1 eva seeds pink plant..

have been told by a very reliable source that their Neville's Haze and Neville's Haze hybrid are top notch

Lookin good PUFF. I didn't realize you threw her into flower. I must have missed something along the way. Getting exciting.

Hi ,day 30 update 5th day of flowering.

I gave her her first flower nutes yesterday, 1ml per litre of bloom and topmax as well as 1ml of grow and 4 mls of heaven.

I've got preflowers today.. tried getting a photo but it's trickier than i thought.

She is up to 16 inches tall now.However 1 lower branch is really, really behind the rest ,it's getting some light but I don't know whether i'm going to amputate it or not yet.Maybe wait until stretching finishes and then decide.

You are into your 6th day of flowering, I would prune some of the branches on the bottom where they are getting little to no light. I have heard C'99 is a good 'lollypop' plant... my girls have responded very well to lolly popping so far

edit: I see the limb you are talking about.. either chop or put a good CFL over her... I had to do that my last grow given that 150 watts was not going to penetrate that far down... 600 watt now.. loving it for sure!

Yeah i probably will have to chop that branch ,the alternate branch on the other side is actually alot further up the plant so i may leave it.

It's not like i wil be losing yeild doing this anyway right? The energy just gets diverted up to the more productive tops ,actually increasing yeild..am i right?

edit LG I made an error i am on the 5th day not the 6th

Well, I can not go off of experience... but many growers here who have been doing it for a long time swear by it. There was even a thread about some one talking about removing 'pop corn' buds to divert more energy to the top nodes. I have been keeping on top of 'pop corn' bud and have been removing anything 1/3 down. You can see in my journal that I have been doing this. If no light reaches it, then it will not grow very big at all (maybe 2 hits worth dry lol). From experience I have grown pop corn buds and have had an ok yield (topped and supper cropped) 25 grams from one plant.. but that was mostly from top and side branches (the popcorn buds will be little things at the nodes through out the bottom 1/3 of plant.) I might be able to find that thread and let you read this growers advice.

edit: Here is the link for the thread I was talking about; https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/582709-how-avoid-popcorn-pic.html

incorrect...will hurt yield...watch out cuz all the know nothings are about to attack

I will have to see about this, as I did not do anything last time around and the branch like his was even super cropped. As I stated in my post above, I do not have experience in doing this... well until now that is. I do like the open area around the pot as it makes it easier to water and keep an eye on the health of the plant at the stock. I can see hurting yield if you do not have enough tops to achieve more 'colas' but I do not see it hurting my yield in my situation... or the person who posted the thread that I linked to. Puff's choice, just wanted to give a view from the side I leaned towards (until experience kicks me in the arse LOL).

wass not directed at you in any way ...just that leaves are what drives production...ie yield

kite ,i was aware of the technique already before leaf pointed it out ,thats why i originally said that i was undecided about amputating the branch or not.

You see the offending branch bottom left of the pictures? In a week or so i predict it to be completely shaded out under all the prominent tops.Every other branch on the plant has shot into a decent position but this one is lagging way behind.I have definitly read at least a few articles on lollipopping and it's advantages.Though i am not proposing lollipopping just getting rid of 1 unproductive branch..I am sure i have read that it boosts yeild by letting the plants energy go to areas where light is being effective.Don't forget i'm using a 250 watt hps

Don't worry either ,i do actually know what i'm doing ,enough not to take bad advice from people who don't know what their talking about.

If you have experience that lollipopping does not work that's perhaps a different story ,or maybe this is a big misunderstanding.

my bad... I am interested as to see how much more per plant I do/do not get.... though going from 150 watt to 600 watt will make a difference, I am sure.. maybe some reverse quantitative mathematics LOL

Heres the idea.. i can see the logic in it.Notice the energy on the left plant is being wasted on branches not recieving any light..pop corn producers.


what i'm saying is ,right now ,if the plant stayed this height i would leave it ,but if it gets another foot or 2 taller that banch will not be producing anything as it won't be getting much effective light.It's really more to do with optimising a lower wattage set up
