Looks beautiful Mech..
It doesn't look like yours stretched as much as Puffs. How much stretch do you think you ended up with? Mine has stretched very little so far. I wonder since we vegged longer and are using a scrog that the stretch was less. Or is it because we are using 600w. things that make you go HMMMM!!!! The two little Clones I took from my plant stretched more than the main plant itself.


Little update on my grow..
A few days ago I busted a fan blade on my cheap inline exhaust fan. with my finger none the less while I was raising my light.. lol. didn't hurt my finger but the fan didn't like it. So I ended up raising the light as high as it could go. Temps stay perfect at the canopy, and the plant loves it, seems like some of the yellowing is going away. but it's a little higher than I like. So I went and bought a new 6 inch inline fan and charcoal filter combo today. dang thing is loud. And I better not get a finger in this one, it's a fight i will not win this time. And I should have bought a speed controller for it at the same time. might have to run back to the store. I'll see if I can fit it into my tent after company leaves tonight and when lights are on. Plant doesn't smell at all yet.. charcoal filter is just a precaution and I know i'll need it for future strains.

I wondered the same. My didn't stretch nearly as much as Puffs. Maybe doubled but its hard to tell. Its probably a mixture of the 600, veg time, and maybe because we have so many shoots to stretch. Just guessing though. Dede says it smells like weed but she doesn't smoke and has never smelt stinky weed growing. It doesn't smell like skunk at all but it does smell. Sucks about your fan:( Finger-1 Fan-0 lol..

Looking beautiful man. I think part of the stretch thing is likely due to the number of colas you've got. The plant was spreading its growth hormones over alot more branches so each branch prolly got much less. Where as puff's plant had what 4-6 tops puff? SO the hormones did less traveling and more growing, at least thats my thought on it.

well you need to turn dede on to ol c99

is it smelly fruity?
I smell grapefruit in the left one and I can't make out the right one. Some kind of sweet smell though. I don't have a great sense of smell. Dede will not smoke with me lol. She says it makes her weird..

That was my guess. So many shoots to stretch.. If I would have known I'd have gone another week of veg.

a lot of good finger pointing at the noggin and going HMMM.. Love it!!
Make sense to me Thunder.. Just seeing my clones and how much taller they are after flipping to 12/12 compared to the original plant.. that tells me that the clones have more energy to stretch the single stalk compared to the numerous ones in the scrog. , I know there are other factors such as temp and light intensity that can play a factor.. but having the clones in the same tent, same environment sure points to Thunders logic. + rep

If I would have known I'd have gone another week of veg.
If I could have gone another week in veg i would have.. but my scrog was outa room. I only have a couple inches in each corner available. no way I could have gone another week.
But it's a lesson learned. Limited stretch in a scrog. maybe wait it out a couple more days in veg.

Last years grow for me in DWC was Spicey White Devil. I topped her just as Puff did with 4 main stalks.. She got almost 5ft tall when all said and done. I do like the scrog method.

With all the C99 grows goin on right now.. hopefully others take this info and put it to great use. Never too late to add a scrog and bush her out if your worried about stretch.

I will add A&C that I don't think this will always play true. Roomies scrog he has going is a perfect example of that. His genetics seemed to stretch no matter what he did to them. He flipped at a good point and they are still over a foot above the screen. Just like everything we do genetics I think plays one of the biggest variables.

I'm sure strain is very important when it comes to stretch regardless if it's in a scrog or not.. My very first grow was Trainwreck in a scrog. damn thing still stretched almost 2 ft.. But, I did make the rookie mistake of not continuing to pull her under the scrog after I flipped to 12/12. Where as this one i did as long as I possibly could.

Damn, I love copy and paste.

I mentioned i was going to give an epic update on my girl. Here is the kicker, I found that both Big Daddy Puffindatchronic and the Mechanical Maniac both posted pictures on Day 20 of flower. So why shouldn't I, and to be able to give some comparisons shots of our grows of good ol Cindy 99. I love it when a plan comes together!! Speaking of which, when in the hell are they going to make a new A-team Movie.. Jesus, get off your asses already.. lol


Since Puff started flower before both Mechy and I, he gets top honors with the first pic.

Sorry LG, Checked your Journal and I think the pic you posted was of the Blueberry BG on day 21. If it was the C99 You would have top honors in my post since yours is completed before ours. So you'll get an honorary mention. By no means is this a put down of your grow.. especially after the pull you got.. Congrats.

I present to you a rundown of 3 special grows, all grown by 3 different Joe Blows with 3 unique and special methods, but all hoping for the same end result. LEGENDARY C99.. Or as you newbs would call it Cinderella 99.

I used to always get flat tops.. why the hell wasn't my hair ever this flat after getting out of the barber shop. "Probably had my head cocked sideways staring at the boobs"

If your a rookie you might only count 52-54 budsites.. But if you know what your looking for.. how many do you see? 62-63-64.. well I got a 36" HD computer screen so maybe that helps too.. And I know there are 4-5 that are outside of the picture and I'm not counting those.

Thanks Mechanical for Getting the C99 Journal started. It certainly gave me and Puff some inspiration. I appreciate you letting me hijack your thread at any time :) With this, you will be rewarded with great.... um, cakes.. Spewing loads of crystal covered Nuggets for years to come.

damn this was fun.. OK, time to save this before RIU crashes.. Oh damn, yadda yadda yadda

Still yellowing on me. Not sure what the deal is:( Im hoping it wont hurt my yield too much cause I was hoping these things would fatten up a little more. Oh well it gives me something to work on next time:) Going to 54 days till chop. 52 would require Dede to make decisions that shes not comfortable with. Dede's gonna turn the lights off next Tuesday night and she will cut and hang them Fri night and Ill be home 2 1/2 days later to either keep drying them or trim and cure them. Dede is just gonna cut any fan leaves and just give them a haircut but not manicure them.
Probably my last update till right before the lights go out.

Looking good man, very frosty. This Cindy might be a tough one to keep green puff had the same issue at about the same time as you are. They still look great.

They look great Mech. Puff's added a lot of weight the last 10 days I think, maybe yours will too. Dede will do a great job I'm sure; she has so far.
