Cinderella 99 F1 Grow - Organic

[hashit]

Well, after much deliberation (4+ months) on which genetics I want to grow next, I ended up with these:




I am going to do a full organic soil grow by using LCs soil mix and blood/bone/kelp meal with an occasional tea here and there. 16-oz cups will be used for the first few weeks, then I will transplant them into 3-gallon smart pots. I am not going to start 12/12 just to select the females, I am going to let them veg 4 - 6 weeks, then I will switch.

I am using a 400w MH until a week or so before I flower, then I will switch to a 600w HPS....I hope you guys enjoy the show..any questions/comments/discussions is encouraged!

For now, you guys are welcomed to view my gallery of some of my previous grows:



Lastly, I would like to thank Mosca for the availabilty of these genetics

good luck with them, just wondering how can it be a F1?

I have two going outside at the moment. They are quite beautiful. Although variation should be expected, the vegetative growth was very close in all males and females. I will let you know how things develop. Good luck and choice.

very cool. i have 7 seedlings above soil now. i will tag this to compare. best of luck ;P)

I've been hoping for a relist of these to open pollinate with my Joey Weed Cinderella '99 F2s - Three distinct C99 lines coming together once again.

Your thread here will be a nice treat while I'm waiting...

I got lucky enough and ordered a week or so before they sold out...I do not think Mosca is gonna re-list any for about 3 - 6 months (he mentioned it in a different thread). I think he is currently working on feminized C99, which I would definitely grab and do a test run with.

Does anyone have experience growing Cindy organically? If so, what does she like to feed on the most? I have heard that she's a bit of a cal/mag hog and thought of adding a bit more dolomite lime to my base mix. I plan on blending some tea's throughout the grow, and hopefully someone can chime in with some 'dialed-in' recipes as well..

I pop them in about 5 days ... Can't wait!

6/10 have popped within 24 hours..they are going into the 16oz cups today.

I am going to paint the walls of my room flat white...more economical then getting mylar..and it looks better! I will update as soon as they sprout.

 

[hashit]

7/10 germinated..and those 7 have sprouted...they look healthy so far. They were placed in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil w/EWC, Lime, and perlite...the ratio I used was 6:2:2 (Soil:EWCerlite).

I installed my new Super Sun 2 air-cooled hood...I like it much better than my old cool-tube setup. Temps range from 72 - 78. I have the light about 20 inches from the tops.

I'm using tap/distilled with a bit of liquid karma...I am going to transplant them into the blood/bone/kelp soil mix once they are a couple/few weeks old. I will take pictures once they are a bit bigger.

And what a great choice hashit!!

I loved every second growing out mine....and even more smoking them.

looking forward for this one

Day 6 from sprouting
Room Temp: 69F in the morning, 76 at the end of the night.
Humidity: 69%
Watering: First watering yesterday (5 days)...gave them a 5ml of Liquid Karma to get the roots going.

I always start my 400MH 20 - 25 inches from the tops with great results, then I lower it to around 10 - 12 inches. I have a small fan blowing over them. The front two are Critical + (freebies) fems.

Day 14
Watering: As needed with spring water and a little bit of liquid karma. They seem to be soaking up a lot more water meaning the roots are developing fast.

One seedling looks like it's burned, but the new leaf growth is doing well. Pretty sure it'll make it unless I go in there and try and "fix" her. I'm going to transplant into my soil mix at the end of week 3 since veg phase is right around the corner.

 

[roach]

mmm most of them look very healthy, just wished there was a way to speed things up so we could get to see some buds

btw most of the times when i have had plants that looked like the "sick" one its either bad PH, too hot or some disease/pest in the soil, if the later they useualy grow out of it, have you checked the soil temperature in that pot? you might have a "hotspot", i have tried this before where all your plants look fine except one and the soil in that is very hot, could be a million other things but worth checking

pulling up a chair.......bio is def. the tastiest weed......keep the pics comming.....and good karma to you and your grow....!!

Day 21
Temps: 68 in the morning, 78 at the end of the night @ 65% humidity.
Watering: 1/4 well water, 3/4 distilled water.

Everything is running pretty smoothly...they took off once I transplanted. The root development is outstanding...they seem to love the organic soil + liquid karma.

Watering Update

I'm sticking to 1/4 well water and 3/4 distilled because my well water is well over 8+ph and the ppms are about 800. Outdoor plants absolutely love it, so why shouldn't my plants? Well, the soil outdoors is different than the soil I built, so I do not want to take any chances. After a little planning I decided to do this:

Cannabis (in soil) takes up nutrients in the 6.3 - 6.8 range as shown below:

So wouldn't I want to lower the pH of my water to 6.0 and let the dolomite lime take it up slowly around 6.9 to get the best possible results? Might as well take advantage of it's buffering properties.

I do not want to add pH up/down to regulate my pH...so what I did instead was to mix about 1/4 well and 3/4 distilled...that brings down the pH to ~6.0 (using a manual tester), ppms around 150 -200ish.

I add liquid karma (2tbs p/gal) because plants just love it. I also started addeding unsulphored molasses (2TBSP p/gal)...nothing like adding carbs to the living soil...I'm pretty sure the bacteria love me for this.

Anyways, I just wanted to clarify a little...I'm just trying to give the ladies (hopefully) the best possible environment for them to grow.

Here is the type of molasses that I use:
Brer Rabbit Unsulphured Molasses
Fat: 0%
Sodium: 1%
Potass: 6%
Carbs: 5%
Calcium: 6%
Iron: 8%
Mag: 8%


I hope yall find this post somewhat informative.

Day 28
Temps: 67 in the morning, 76 at the end of the night.
Watering: 2tsp Liquid Karma & 2 TBSP molasses per gallon of water.

Great growth although two Cindy's seem to be very slowww at vegging. The two Critical + (front right and front left) are stinky...I'm gonna put add teh filter next week when I top them.

Day 35
Temps: 64 in the morning, 78 at the end of the night.
Watering: 2tsp Liquid Karma & 2 TBSP molasses per gallon of water.

I topped/fimmed them early this week...great growth and I can see some variation in phenos. Two are lanky, two are stout with large fan leaves, one has fat lettuce looking leaves that's very slow at vegging, and one is in between. No particular smell.

The two Critical + fems (bottom right and bottom left) are short and stout...the one on the left smells like cat shit

I plan on flowering in a couple more weeks...I'm going to take clones soon!

Here is one more picture:

Nice sized fan leaves

beautiful!
