I placed an order a few weeks ago of Northern Berry, Sweet Cindy and Skunk Berry. Got my order within a week...with extra Kush seeds.
I had some other plants on the go but I germed 5 of the NB seeds and all cracked in the water after 16 hours.
Skipped the paper towel ans planted into Solo cups and one popped within 16 hours. But the root didn't really head downward into the soil...it kinda just fell over and started drying up by the time I caught it. I figured it was done for but I covered it back up with soil anyway.
Meanwhile the other 4 had popped out so I thought 4 out of 5 wasn't bad.
Then about 2 days later, the seed that I had buried and left for dead popped out of the ground again.
It's smaller than its siblings but still growing!
I've named that one The Zombie....because it was dead and came back to life. Lol
Heres a pic of the 4 others

When I started these c99s I started them in tupur mix and had a real shitty go the first time around. The girls battled nutrient lock out and looked deprived of nitrogen the whole first run, even through flower. I really should have kept clones from my other pheno but I only kept this girl because she was less effected by the shitty tupur and appeared healthier than the others but the smallest pheno did have better resin production/terps. Oh well

Edit: I meant to add now the c99 is in a clean medium (canna coco) she has been healthy from the start and hit flowering as healthy as could be.

I'm expecting this girl is gonna need a lot of support when she hits 6 weeks, lol. I'll leave her with 6 tops when I prune her up in another week. She is not the pheno you would want for outdoor, these limbs would leave you crying after a stormy/windy night but indoor she is a beast.

That has the same style leaves as my c99 female. Looking good man.

It definitely has a small frame of Cindy and this was technically a bx too. Lower calyx ratio is a lil easier at the end.
This will get set aside for now, give em out as freebies to sift thru later, I just wanted to have the genetic material as clone only mom is gone gone gone.
Lots of double serration, which seems to be a skunk mainstay, I see it in just about every Cindy hybrid, like Space dude...From a botany perspective, increased serration is usually a wind assistance trait, although I would guess increased stomata as well.
I could see a skunk ancestor that was a hillside resident and used double serrations to fight wind and maybe used increased stomata to pick up oxygen at night at higher altitudes in the thinner atmosphere and increase evaporation surface area during the day when Uv starts to pick up....babble babble....

4 c99 have hit the towel. Will be riding with 5 Sleeskunk fromDNA. Have 3 NL in early veg as well as 4 CopperChem, all these for sexual purposes.

These NB are growing great. They're about 14 days from seed right now. Could probably be a little bigger but I still have them under 4 - 13w and 1 - 23w CFLs.
I have considered putting them in my veg tent under the MH but I'll be flipping that tent to flower in the next couple weeks.
I am putting LEDs in a 2x5 closet and will use that as another grow area.

Only have 2/4 c99 up in solos and have 3 NL in veg and flower season is here so a couple boys of something will be camping outdoors.

Also got nanners on second Haze x BB and have 1 Indica leaning plant left and looking solid. Mike warned me as mom hermied and he abandoned the project. Ran 2 before and they both threw nanners but later.

3 NS x c99 about 11 days flowering and growing fast. Smallest was not topped and looks like Cindys I have known.

Thanks. I’ve got another pheno of her as well flowering. Only big difference I’m seeing is the leafs on the Cindy not pictured seem to have a broader structure compared to the one in the picture.

Both have a very seeet smell, but nothing to strong yet.

Outside of the obvious different bud structure the wider leaves in my experience are the dead giveaway for the grapefruit pheno. I didn't find either impressive flower growth or smell wise till weeks 4-6 of flowering.
Love how many tops you have on the one you shared. Multi topped and long veg is key to heavy yields with c99.
Cheers

Ordered from peak for the first time last week. Just got the beans. Already have some in the tent ready for 12/12. So the peak seeds will have to wait a few months. But super excited to get those B.B. and C99 in some dirt.

Here’s thst other Cindy

Other then the smell....did you notice any difference between the pineapple and grapefruit Pheno as far as effects ?

And here’s my sweet skunk from peekseedsbc too. She’s looking a wee bit peckish, but doing alright

All three of my phenos had a up beat sativa high, with no anxiety and a positive buzz that is better for daytime/active smoking. I had 2 that I would say cured to a pineapple/bitter sweet fruit and one more bitter fruit but all very similar. I like the high quite a bit and will probably have a clone on hand at all times.

The grapefruit yielded slightly more then the Pineapple. I found the Pineapple to be an intense sativa buzz. Some found it to be too racey. The Grapefruit was much more subdued in comparison. I would call the Grapefruit a tasty mellow daytime smoke and the Pineapple a tasty sativa rocketship lol
I enjoyed both with the Pineapple being more like the Cindy I remember.
Also the Pineapple I refer to is the plant that started out with a rotten meat smell in flowering. It went from a rotten meat smell to rotten fruit, to a funky Pineapple. The Pineapple really came out after some time in the jars.

Well hopefully I got the pineapple pheno.....a racey sativa rocket ship sounds right up my alley

My NB are getting tall after only a couple weeks or so. I'm thinking about topping and doing some LST on them. I'm at 7 nodes already.
Just wondering how the NB do with topping? Or would FIM be a better choice?

Originally, I was thinking maybe I'd top and clone the tops...then put into flower tent to sex while training the parents. But they're growing so fast that I'm probably going to have to just grow them out and watch for males after switching over.

Pics from a couple days ago and I swear they've grown half inch or so since then....lol

Man....these NB are smelling so strong....I had to re-engineer my grow space because my whole basement was starting to smell.
I guess I'm gonna have to get another carbon filter for them when I move them to their new space.
