Thank you F2B, they are all picking up steam! I am very excited, always so slow at first going from seed.

nice verti bushes maj !!

Thank you whodair, welcome to my future jungle.


So I pulled the trigger because the stars aligned and I found myself with $100 seed money and Seedbay had sour bubble for $95. I will be running a couple of these next time and hopefully some keeper C99's.

Nice rdwc!
They gonna explode there! :) Been tempting to try myself but taking them apart middle of the grow is kind of impossible..! :D

I got couple phenos with fatter leafs on my Bx1 grow.. Got 2 keepers other more stretchy with thinner leaves and other more indy..
Both got that pineapple smell there mixed with some tropical fruits.. :) You're in for a treat! :)

Good luck!!

Thanks MC. That's exactly why I post my grows.
I was copying off of Heath Robinson and some of the guys over at HG a few years back. They showed me I was wasting time with reflectors.... And I'm still learning here at IC. Gotta spread the knowledge!!

I'll tell you one thing, dont be afraid to chop all the undergrowth off. Not just at the bottom of the plant, but also the inside of the bush. Not too much penetration with those 400's. They will leave you with a considerable amount of larf. I have a hard time chopping so much early in flower, but everytime I harvest, I wish I would've chopped more off....any of those small skinny branches inside the bushes should be removed in the first few weeks of flower. They end up being worthless.

I'm gonna force myself to be more aggressive chopping the small stuff next time.

Your timing is impeccable, when the lights come on in 30 minutes I am going in with the scissors to open up the plants as Mosca suggested. I plan to hack the backside of anything that is not already through the netting and open the insides a bit as well but thanks for the advice. I will be a little more aggressive than I originally planned.

These C99's are very branchy plants which is pretty awesome when doing vertical, lots of stuff to train and fill your space.

I will have to post a pic of some of the fan leaves, freaking HUGE, bigger than a Cadillac, swear to god.

I will do some before and after pics later tonight. :thank you:

11/30 update

11/30 update

So I got to go home from work early because of shit my old boss oked me to do and I may not have a job tomorrow :) Thank god for anti-anxiety pills. Anyway enough with my downer life bullshit.

Day 3 of flowering so it is time for bud shots :D

So I am doing some trimming tonight and these are the before shots but I don't think the afters are going to look much different. Most of the removal is on the backside and inside.

Left side


Massive fan leaf, damn thing is two lanes wide


Right side


Everything

looks great Maj.

i would go with Marlo advices, trim all the back branches, especially if you doing 400's
dont be afraid of taking them off, if you can take them for clones before you flip great, after ya flip just worry about the front, that where its going to count the most.

cheers
red.

ps. trimming go hand in hand with vertical
