Wow those are some great looking buds! Thinking for now im going to run a bare bulb 150watter. Cant use to much energy and i saw on another forum a guy who pulled 75g off a 150watt vertical grow. But dang your buds looks amazing. Also that strain looks awesome a 8week tropical sativa from what I read.

Thanks! Ya according to the website and some other people that have grown it, it's supposed to finish pretty fast. But I think she still has some time? Maybe 2 more weeks? Everyone talks about how you are supposed to harvest it at around 53 days for that trippy high C99 is known for, but I don't think she's quite done yet?

I think it has a bit more time but I think most people harvest at mostly cloudy as opposed to mostly amber. Thats peak thc content. I added that strain to my list, I've read amazing reviews on it.

Here is the Sleestack x Sk1 which was a free seed that came with the C99. It's starting to get nice and dense and is probably around the 4'thish week of flowering. I was a little concerned with it in the beginning but it's started to look better than my smaller C99.

My smaller C99 is real airy and fluffy and a little sad looking. I think it's because it's been so hot here and it's hard to keep the temps down. The smallish pot it's in is also hindering it, but the larger one is looking really good.

And here is my larger C99 I just watered. I'm thinking this will be the last watering, and if not maybe just 1 more. Everything I read about this strain says people harvest between 55-60 days, so she is about up according to that.

Wow thanks for the update!
They look great, giant colas on a stick. I also have the sleetstack x skunk1 I got with my order a while back. Let me know how that tokes when your done and I might run it, but I am loving that c99. After my first grow Im going to run fairly soon (hopefully Novemeber) I want to run the c99! Also Im going up to a 400 watter I think lol. I have a partner who has a larger space for me to work with.

I have 2 Female Seeds C99 that around 5/6 weeks of Flowering, and one 1 Sleestack x Sk1. All 3 started around the same time in a PC growbox and eventually moved into what I'm using now with the 250watt vertically in the center.
The first C99 is in the biggest pot and is the biggest plant, and the other 2 are in smaller pots. The largest one should be done in another 2 weeks I think, and the other 2 I'm guessing maybe 3/4 weeks.

Nutes during the first few weeks of flowering were Open Sesame, and I'm currently using Beastie Bloomz.

I am trying to understand the pics. The big cola plants do not look like the ones in the box. Are they the same plants? Maybe I am just not seeing right. Also can you keep a 250 MH and HPS that close without burning? This is intriguing and is making me think smaller rather than bigger.

Ya they are the same plants, I just didn't take an updated picture of the whole box with the plants in it so I used an older one as a reference. I don't know about an MH as I haven't used one, but the HPS is fine as long as you keep it cooled.

Ok so I just chopped down the two C99 plants. The leafs started to get pretty stringy and a little airy but I think they'll be decent. In terms of yield I'm going to guess at the most maybe 1.5oz dry. I didn't weigh them wet so I don't really have anything to go off of.

That looks great! are the nugs dense? I swear i can smell through the screen.

Nah they aren't super dense, I let the big one dry out pretty good before I chopped it but the smaller I had just watered so the nugs felt a little denser. We'll see in a few days how they look.

So I weighed the largest C99 and total came out to around 32g, which are in the two jars on the left.
The Smaller C99 is in the right jar that I just jarred tonight because I watered it a day before cutting.
I'm sure a few nugs got mixed up but once I weigh the last jar it won't really matter. I'll update in a few days with a final weight of all 3 jars.
