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...


saludos!

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 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...

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

[dubi]

Greetings Rinse,

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

[LowFalutin]

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.

saludos!
