Thanks, MB. I'm glad to see her grow out on her terms this time... the last one didn't even hint at that kinda structure. Not that it can be blamed...

Here's a couple of in-tent shots of the next F99:

Well... I couldn't help myself tonight. I brought F99 #1 out for a last round of photos. These were taken just before lights-out on day 48. This is the one that smells like Fruit Stripe Gum:

Heya Thundurkel, haven't seen you by in a minute. :smoke:

You're running a pre-2k BB cut, right? I bet that's the shit. I got some Blueberry buds back in the day (a few times... ~1997-1999) with a crazy distinct berry + something smell. A friend brought some over 6 months or so ago that just transported me back instantly - it had to be the same cut. Guess it's still making its way through the old hippie circles around here. Crazy shit.

Hey Sack0, good seeing you in here again. Thanks for the very kind words, I'm glad you dig the thread... pics and prose alike. :smoke:

Here's some more for the eyes. This is F99 #3. She smells a little like lemons - similar to #2 - but very much more like the F mother. Where the F is limes, she's lemons - but otherwise very, very similar.

She's going to be the smallest-yielding of the 5 (I think) but she's got the frost going on and the F funk counts for a lot. I love her bud structure too, rounder golfballs than the others but with the same large, stacking calyxes. The last photo is one of her more tower-like buds and really looks like her sisters. This is @ day 38.

More F99

More F99

So #4 and #5 are beginning to differentiate themselves a little bit.

#4 has frosted up like the other 3 so far but lost much of its fruitiness. It kinda smells like the 'odorless' one... very sweet with just a mild flintstones-vitamin in the background. It's going to yield pretty well, and it's finishing on pace with the rest. It made a few male flowers,though, and the mom has been axed. One down! Pics of her tomorrow.

#5, on the other hand, is something a little different. She still smells like Fruit Punch koolaid - whew - although she isn't as visibly frosty as her sisters. She's also a little slower to develop in the bud area and has a different structure. The towers are there like the rest but built differently - like the F this time.

I hope she plumps up by the end - I'm guessing she'll go 60-65. Here's pics, day 39:

Man, if the ticks are out like this already what are the mosquitoes gonna be like? Aaah, nature.

The C99 daddy I chose for this cross has seemingly bred true for a couple of pretty clear traits... one of them being speed. I could have easily taken #1 and #2 at ~48 days - complete with amber trichs, swollen calyxes and all the signs of ripeness. Hell, #3 a couple posts up looks almost cuttable at 38! (Yes, there's amber.)

And this is straight from seed, not clone. :smoke:

These were started right at the end of the furnace episode... so they got a long veg, although some of it kinda doesn't count. I flipped them at about 12" as I do with most all my seedplants. (The second batch of 3 had to wait on the 2nd tent and made it to about 14".)

Given that C99 is considered a 50-52 day strain and my quickest F run was 54, I guess it's not that crazy... but it sure is nice. I have to say that I am not really interested in sacrificing quality for finishing time - but if I can get sativa-dom headstash at 7 weeks it's all good!

We'll find out what the lemon/FSG/F-dom pheno is like very soon. She comes down tomorrow. I hope it's as strong as the first one, but maybe a little more complex. :D

Unless I totally space and forget it. (I smoke weed.)

Here's the pics of F99 #4, though. :smoke:





You can see the resemblance to #5 in the bud structure, but it's not as pronounced. She looks kinda halfway between that and the other (more C99) structures of the other 3. Now that I look at her she looks like she's going to take longer than the other phenos, but maybe not as long as #5. 55-60? We'll see. Neither is as mature-looking as #3, which is on the same schedule.

lets hope the old pollen takes for you,after looking back over the last few pages it's hard to pick out a fave from these,#3 has the attraction of the lemon smell and fast finish and looks very sog friendly,4 and 5 have many positive notes as well...tough to choose a mom from them:bow::chin:

I'm hoping the same thing... like crazy. I'll get to try it in 10-14 days. :smoke:

My take on the phenos so far:

1) FSG - best smell, most like what I was after when making the cross. lots of resin, beautiful flower structure.
2) C99 - stupid-frosty, colorful, quick, dense, and pretty high-yield... kinda boring if strong smoke. may be excellent breeding plant?
3) LEM-F - very close to #1 but smaller buds.
4) VIT - too stretchy, too many nanners, mom culled.
5) FP - a nice surprise. smells amazing! we'll see what the smoke is like. if it's good, a keeper. fruit punch is one of my favorite smells on the planet.

I'm probably keeping 3 of them for now. Maybe 4. What I really need is males....
