Procyon LED veg, Super HPS Flower, Aeroponic, General Hydroponics, CO2

Strains: Cinderella 99, Apollo 11, Blue Apollo, Sugar Blossoms, Sugar Berry, DJ Short's Blueberry (F2 from Joey Weed), C99 X A11, C99 X BB

All plants have been grown from seed and a mother will be selected for each strain, except for Cinderella 99 which will have 2 mother plants for the different phenotypes: grapefruit & pineapple. I plan on flowering & harvesting all other female plants that are not selected to be mothers.

For cloning, vegging & flowering I'm using Stinkbud's aero units, 4 flower units. The mothers will be maintained in a dutch bucket system. All systems have been self made.

This grow has been staggered into 3 groups - Group 1 being the oldest, group 2 the second oldest and group 3 the youngest.

Group 1 Strains: Cinderella 99

Group 2 Strains: Cinderella 99, C99 X A11, C99 X BB

Group 3 Strains: Apollo 11, Blue Apollo, Sugar Blossoms, Blueberry (DJ Short F2 via Joey Weed), Sugar Berry

Nutrients: Fed at half strength for vegetation under the LEDs & increased to full for flowering under 2 1000W Solarmax Super HPS using sealed, vented Magnum xxxl hoods.

General Hydroponics:
FloraGro
FloraMicro
FloraBloom
Diamond Nectar
Floralicious Plus
FloraNectar (Pineapple Rush!, FruitnFusion)
FloraBlend
Kool Bloom (Liquid)
Kool Bloom (Dry)
Subculture B
Subculture M
FloraKleen
FloraShield (as a problem fixer, not a mainstay)

& Botanicare CalMag Plus in case of Magnesium Deficiency

The desired end result is the cultivation of mothers from each strain and the creation of a perpetual harvest - every 2-3 weeks.

History up to present date:

6/26/2009: Germed 10 Cinderella 99 seeds (Group 1) using the paper towel method and a heating mat set to 80 F. Seeds were soaked in tap water for 24 hours previous to placements in the papertowels.

All seeds germed in under a week and were placed in rockwool cubes soaked in PH 5.5 water and placed under regular fluorescent lights.

Seedlings were watered about every other day for three weeks with PH adjusted 5.8 tap water with a fan blowing on them to strengthen stems.

Three weeks after germination the seedlings were placed in dutch buckets in two rows of 5 filled with hydroton and placed under a Procyon light. Nutrients were given at 1/2 strength. Plants began to show nutrient burn so the solution was cut back to 1/8 strength. It was gradually increased over the course of the next few weeks to 1/2 strength where it is as of this writing.

Group 1 was cloned for sex on 9/2/09 when they were 2 months old (8 weeks, 5 days). Two cuttings were taken from each plant and they were placed in the aerocloner unit under a row of 4 T5's set to 12/12 and placed about an inch away from the tops.

9/11/09 plants showed sex. 5 were female, 5 male. Of the females 2 stood out as stronger than the others. Cinderela 99 produces 2 phenotypes, a stockier bushier Pineapple phenotype and a longer, lankier Grapefruit pheno. The two strongest females were representative of each type (one pineapple, one grapefruit). I'm not 100% certain but the smoke report will tell. These two will likely be the mother plants for C99.

Here are current pics of the Pineapple phenotype:

You've got some good genetics and some healthy plants my friend. I'll be following this one. +rep

Thank you so much! I really want to make this grow journal well organized & put up as much useful information as I can. Please follow along with my grow, I'm happy to have feedback.

That is exactly how I felt about a year ago! I read about Cinderella 99 and was just blown away, I had to have it. Searched high and low - no kidding. Luckily, there is a place I can strongly recommend to you that sells C99 currently. Much as I'd like to take your money, I thought I'd link to some vendors who do distribute C99 seeds. I got mine from Hemp Depot - a company I strongly recommend. Fast, discreet, excellent customer service. The breeder was Kingdom, but it was a one time deal apparently - they were the only ones offering C99 at the time, and I knew little about the company when I ordered, but it was a good deal - 20 seeds for $75.

Hemp Depot does carry C99 seeds from a breeder that I've had much success with in this grow: Joey Weed. He's the least expensive and is honest about what he has to offer, plus he keeps these kick ass genetics alive and available for us. All my plants in this grow came from Joey's seeds and I've had 80 - 100% success germinating all of them and they've turned into healthy vigorish plants. They are temporarily out of stock now, but send them an email and they'll let you know when they're coming back: http://www.hempdepot.ca/seeds/joeywe...derella99.html

I've heard WallyDuck C99 seeds are good - I have no personal experience with them, but everyone I've heard raves about him and the quality of his product, I can't find a link to a site that's selling them right now. Your best bet would likely be Hemp Depot - Joey Weed will not disappoint. No worries man, you'll get your Cindy and when you do - good times... Let me know what they say, if they're getting more C99 in or not.

nice, i have a feelin this gonna be one awesome grow. btw, love your avatar

I noticed a grow journal discussion sub-forum? I don't mind posts in here, but I guess it's for if the conversation gets off topic? IDK, it was recommended to post a link to there so here it is: My First Grow: Aeroponics, LED veg, Super HPS flower, CO2 sealed room

Enjoy.
