Blue Cindy
The same C99 male was used to pollinate my very resinous and tasty Blueberry mother.
Her flowers are ready in 45 days (The BC will need some days more). The C99
will boost up the yield and add some pineapple to the palette.


I was lucky enough to be picked to test Chrome's Blue Cindy, was/is a true honor, thanks alot Chrome. These came in the mail last friday @ about 2:35, they were soaking in a shot glass by 2:40. After a good 24 hour soak in tap water with a drop or 2 of h2o2, 8 popped. Followed by the other 2 within 24 hours of the first~ 10/10er! One's looking a bit stretched, I might lose it, but the rest are looking prime. Lets roll, jimmy roll.....

w00t~

2 mins later...lalala

morning after transplant

pretty lil'n

Yesterday


They all are like little telephone poles right now, excluding stretch Armstrong in the back right of the last shot. I'm fired up about this grow, should be alot of fun. I can smell summer in the air... the options are limitless, still deciding on what route I'll take with these. Veggin for a month indoors and force bud for a spring harv? Grow them inside, or puttem out soon and let them get nutty this summer? I still got some time to ponder, we shallz see~

The only problem with this option is its so damn far off, but I'm sure they'll be worth it.

How tall is your veg?

I'd grow the seed plants out and use some lower branches for cuttings to be flowered inside... Then plant the seed plants outside... You could also keep some of the cuttings in veg to make more cuttings, then plant the "mother" cuttings around the bigger seed plants outside... Hmmm.... Like you said "the options are limitless"

[quote=420247;4307642]How tall is your veg?


Outside it doesn't matter how tall they get, all my neighbors grow and have cards too, no real concerns. But inside I'd say 3 feet is as tall as I could take them in my veg tent. That would leave about two feet to stretch in my flowering tent.

I really like your suggestion about starting them outside then keeping cuts to bring in and flower out. The only issue I have with that is I have to wrap it all up inside, by June 1st. It just gets to damn hot here, my house becomes an oven really early in the season, so everything gets moved out. So if I bud them out inside it will be a 1 month veg, 2 month bud = cutting it super close. I think that's cheating these seeds, I wanna do them supreme justice. So growing them outside is seems to be the winning route. I dig your thought process 420247, You know!

Do you run your lights at night? It gets over a 100f here and I grow in my garage... I just open the door a bit to let it cool down (kinda LOL its still hot), pot plants can handle alot of heat... Just look at some of the places they come from

I was thinking veg the seed plants to 3ft indoors then take them outside to be planted (Big bush)

[Edit]

I just planted a 3ft seed plant in my greenhouse along with some cuttings to be flowered two days ago, and I have some of the cuttings inside getting ready to be flowered in my garage

[NorcalBob]

Yea I run the lights at night, in the winter to make heat for the room. This house doesn't have an ounce of insulation in it, it's cheap, old, thrown together track house. I tried it the first summer we bought the house, was a huge, costly error.

This month's power bill was $422 bones, thats only running 1 400w(18h), 1 600w(12), a couple inline fans and a couple Oscillators. Most of the expense comes from trying to keep this place warm, hell not even warm, the thermo is set at 62. I gotta get this shithole spray foamed but being a poor SOB, that wont be happening for a raise or two. I can barely support my seed habit for god sakes~ lol. So its not just the heat issue, I'm broke, cheap and it heats the house up way to much.

I do plan on putting some mature plants out soon for a spring fling, but I have a bunch of males out there, till they give up the dust I'm stuck under lights.

So far the plan is to go head and take these outside as soon as we get a few days of good weather, its been rainy/overcast for way to long now. Forecast is showing rain for the next 4 or 5 days too, so we shall see. For now they are doing well, stretching a little but not much. All of them are still alive, I've got the beanpole crutched up for support. I'll give it a couple more days, if it doesn't get strong, cull time... There isn't much to see yet, Ill get some up soon tho.

I know how that goes man My veg room has no insulation and one whole wall as sliding glass doors. Its not connected to the heat or A/C from the rest of the house... Cold winters and hot summers! LOL And my garage has no insulation along with no heat or A/C... The whole garage is kept warm with one 1000 watt HPS. I crack the garage door open when its warm out for fresh air, and keep it closed when its cold out... At night its been in the mid to high 30's here... In the summer it will hit the 100's during the day...

An odd thing... 1 400 watt MH will heat a bedroom better than six 125 watt floro lights...

At night I shut the sliding glass door and let the room heat up, like a greenhouse... I keep the fans running, just no outside air in or out, except for what leaks in LOL I open it when its warm out in the day... In the summer that sliding glass door stays open with a fan running 24/7...

I hope some of this info helps a bit... If you lived next door, I'd have your shit running great for you!!! But I would have also killed your males LOL

[NorcalBob]

Haro folks! Chrome I'm sorry I haven't kept this updated, had way to many pots on the stove but the entrées are up and I can breathe again. With that said, we can spend some time talking about these gals.
Out of the 9 that finally ended up making it, 5 were females. 2 ended up being slow and were culled(due to #'s). Out of the nine that grew, 3 had extreme BB mutated leafs, 2 of which turned out male. I have selected 2 of the normal leaf structured gals and the 1 mutant to grow outside this summer.
If you live in Nor Cal you know the weathers been fckin crazy lately. I cant tell you how wonderful it feels that it looks like blue skys have come our wayyyyy!!
I have a bunch of earlier pics while I sexed them and brought them back in and revegged, I'll post them if anyone is interested. IMO that shit's boring and I think you'll thank me for not boring you, anymore.............right now is when it's just getting good.

I have 2 of the Blue Cin's in 100 gallon smarties, the other gal is in the ground. The buried one has been amended with castings, bone/blood meal, Gypsum, lime, fish meal, my compost, kelp meal, perlite, mushroom compost(from Campbell's soup mushroom farm), hog compost, humus, and loam. The soil in the bags is the same recipe, I've had to transplant soil every year here with this crap clay that just eats good top soil, even with regular gypsum powder/spray treatments. I buy a "planters mix" from one of the local nursery's for $42.00 a CY. Which is the sandy loam/humus/mushroom/hog mix, then I just supplement it for my liking. The only real expense is the perlite at $24 per 4cf. The rest can be had dirt cheap(har) when buying in bulk. So, its becoming a ramble session, to many volcano bags and Pyramid Hefe's baby~ Lets roll that beautiful bean footage.......

Dinner of champions...mixed at 700 ppm, then cut in half with RO wata. Seabird guano, castings, my kill compost, molasses,air.


6/5 transplant day

6/14 today~




mutant mania


Chrome, again brother, sorry about being a holdout on the updates. This is an awesome privilege, and I thank you sir~

[Chrome]

thx for updating Bob,

i am happy to see them.

looking good . nice sunny place.
love the 100g smartpots and tea u gave them.

BC is very BB dominated hybrid.
but traits from the c99 male, like pineapple-smells and biger buds, shine thru.

greetings
