...how is the Vietnam Black Thai x c99 cross expressing now ?

Getting their stretch on, except for one...

My NevsHazeMango wasn't doing much in her 1 gal. pot either,
and she responded well with a 3 gal. up-potting.
The little one above will get the same treatment in a day or two.
And the taller two will get the same treatment after stretch ends.
The little one's "aunt" (the VbT female I grew out) didn't like being in a 1 gal. either.
Some strains/phenos don't like the combination of multiple toppings
combined with a small pot during flo, it seems.

cheers

These (C99bx1 x VbT) girls are ready for more frequent updates.

This is T2- the bigger, chunkier, more C99-like of the three...

She seems the quickest and frostiest so far...

She smells kind of fruity-berry at this point.

Hola LowFalutin, i think a good repot will help a lot now in flowering. The cinderella vb thai cross looks very nice, good job!

hola dubi!
Gracias for the feedback.
You wrote it while I was photo'ing the girls...

T3, the mid-sized, lightest green, speariest budded...

Her bud (left) compared to the larger, more C99-like, T2...

T2... come on down

T2... come on down

hola

The largest, quickest, chunkiest, frostiest, and only one to develop
some purple in her buds is coming down today (edit: @ around 10wks)...

She's taken on a more smokey musk in the last week or two,
as has her sisters. Reminds me of a Chocolope-leaning Chocolate
Rain I had a while back, in that regard (edit: and I have some
VbT-pollinated seeds from that ChocRain).

The apple/peach/strawberry-sweet aroma she had is now just
a background note.

Initial report after she dries a bit.
I'm giving her sisters a few more days before harvest.

Saludos!

T3 almost there...

T3 almost there...

T3 was the lightest green of the three, and looks most like both
C99bx1 mum and VbT dad (both were light green/wispy)...

Her buds are getting the knobby "studded with thousands of pleasure dots"
look of swollen calyces, and will probably come down around Monday,
at around eleven weeks- and that's with a flower and re-veg before start.
Quite a bit longer than a regular C99, and a week longer than the mum.
(edit: My one dark-green VbT lady took 13 weeks from seed,
after a month or so of vegging.)

T3 is also the only one of the three to give me a strong trippy high from
a pre-harvest sample taken a couple weeks ago- right up there with the
Zam that's been harvested, but in a different way... less in the diaphragm.

I'm going to try to re-veg her until she proves unworthy, but so far she's
looking to be a potential prototype for this "Hanoi Cindy/Barbarella/Barbie/B99"
personal strain I'm trying to create with this specific cross. I've more seeds
of the cross, as well as VbTs, to look for a dad; or may experiment with
colloidal silver.

Have a great weekend

Saludos

It's been around 12 weeks since these C99bx1 x VbT girls were harvested.
All three are nice, with their highs getting a lttle cleaner as the
cure's progressed. Getting stronger too. A more complete report
in a few weeks...

I'd also recommend you to explore the more vietnamese sativa phenos from Orient Express, i have OE seed lots that are very influenced by Vietnam Black mother if you are interested.

That sounds interesting, are those phenos taller and longer flowering than usual OE expressions?

dubi · Feb 23, 2014

Greetings Rinse,

Yes, the more Vietnam Black influenced phenos are taller and take longer to flower than Orient Express average.

LowFalutin · May 15, 2014

last nug standing

last nug standing

from each of the three phenos I got...

...from my C99bx1 x VbT hack.

I'll sample these first thing over the next few days to finally write up a smoke report.
It's been about half-a-year since they were harvested. It's time. :tiphat:

saludos!

LowFalutin · Feb 14, 2016

belated response-
re: c99bx1* x VbT hack
pheno T2, the quickest flowering and chunkiest budded,
ended up the favorite-
a real good time hybrid high, almost a "caffeinated drunk" feeling.
the slightly longer flowering, "spear-ier" phenos ended up kinda
murky headed. maybe they could've used an even longer cure?

still more of these c99bx1 x VbT (aka "barbarella") seeds to go thru.

here's the OE i pollenated with VbT, harvested at 14 wks.

topped multiple times, even some of the side branches,
to keep her stretch in check.

orient express x VbT...

the OE mum can be seen in the post above-
was very stretchy and long-flowering.

Nice work and crosses LowFalutin, looks killer and delicious, my brain is drooling.

Nice cross. I think this thread has inspired me to finally crack an accidental cross I made years ago when a highly stressed Destroyer threw a few nanners and got the most VB leaning Orient Express I have seen pregnant. I only ever got two seeds but both parents were special plants so it should be worth the hermie risk.

That VB leaning OE was a magnificent plant. The fan leaves were the size of plates, and it yielded huge airy spears that took about 12 1/2 weeks to finish flowering. It had a very warm, clean buzz. It was my very first proper grow and I didn't get a chance to take clones. I never found another girl like her. Maybe her children will scratch that VB itch.

I still have a photo of the biggest cola off that plant. I hope her daughters live up to her legend.

thanks for stopping by. :tiphat:

I was surprised to see that I posted in the thread 4 years ago. I made a bunch of seeds from Bubba Kush × VBT i always think about. if only I had time and room to try everything I wanted to.

I've got a male Gorilla Glue#4 × OE that i been making crosses with. I'm thinking of combining it with the sour dubb

dubi · Feb 5, 2017

Hi LowFalutin,

Your c99 x Vietnam Black/Thai buds look very yummy :yummy:

Looks like a successful cross :yes:

Great job! We used to grow a c99xOldtimer's Haze (from wolfman) 13 years ago that looks similar to your cross.

Looking forward to see how the Orient Express (sativa pheno) x VB/Thai hybrid works! I like the idea of a more vietnamese and more sativa OE hybrid.

Thanks for your updates!

dubi · Feb 5, 2017

Lovely Orient Express sativa cola The Hatter

Keep on working and posting your vietnamese/thai crosses!

Hi Lammy,

How did the GG4 x OE cross turn out ? Very curious to know about its outcome.

I never flowered out any females. the male is beautiful and healthy. I've been using him to make a bunch of crosses and then I'm going to pick one to try and do a female selection from.

I'm working on a female selection from another Gorilla Glue cross and I think I might merge the two lines. Maybe I'll add the sour dubb back in there, that is the mother of the gg4. when I finally get around to flowering some females I hope to test at least 20 to 30 females and have them be 25% OE.

I wish I could have tested the GG4×OE cross but I don't feel like I'm really giving anything a decent chance if I only try five or ten females. and anything I run means there's something else that I can't. so for the most part I have to be pretty sure my patients are going to be happy with what they get
