Female Seeds C99?

Mosca's C99 BX-1 is king right now.....

I have 5 of them 3 weeks into veg now. All 5 are the same size. Tiny as heck. If they weren't all exactly the same runty size I would chuck them in another week. The growth is normal and they are healthy. But the leaves are on their 4th node now and they are still tiny. Is this normal or did I get a bad batch?

btw, I sent an email to Attitude asking if I can get some contact info for Mosca seeds, and Jodie says they have no info at all on Mosca. No website, nothing. I wanted to ask her how the heck she gets their merchandise then. No help from Attitude again. As usual.

Don't ever remember seeing anything "tiny" with this strain. I grew mine under 600 watters, and they grew long and tall branches. They about doubled in size during flowering, maybe slightly more. Doesn't sound normal to me......sorry.

I have these under 200 watts of HO T5. These bulbs are awesome. What gets me is they are all the exact same size. I have them in 1 gallon pots in FF soil. I'll give them a few more weeks and see if they turn around. In all my experience I have never seen a runty plant take off tho. I still have 5 seeds left if these don't work out. Thanks for the reply

I like the way Mosca names his F6s.
BX lol

Or as he in or out bred them?

I got C99 F5s I ad a while and when they go in they can veg pretty vigorously. have them in flower after a month and get massive yields

BX-1 I guess means back-crossed back to the strain one time. I got my seeds over at THCFarmer about 1.5 years ago and bought like 60 of them so I'd have them for a while. So everyone knows, I grew these twice. First time I let them go 56 days and they were only ok, but not great. Second time I cut at day 51-52 and they were great. Mosca even piped in and stated they need to be cut early, even if they don't look done to preserve the "sativa" buzz. If they go longer, it loses it's special characteristics. He was right.........golf ball size nuggets up and down the branches, tasty and speedy sativa when cut at 52 days. Hints of citrus and pineapple throughout although about 1/2 mine didin't have much smell at all. People report a "fruity punch" pez pheno that's the keeper. Great yield too, especially for a short flowering period. Loads of resin everywhere.

So I guess I'm looking at 5 runts. It's not something I'm used to. I usually get a runt here and there out of a 6 or 10 pack but I never expected this. 5 out of 5 runts. I might as well start the other 5 and see what happens. I can't explain it. They look healthy except one of them has a deficiency of the leaf skin where it has patches of green missing or much lighter in color. I usually grow those out if they are female and finish it off because they always have problems.

Mosca bx1 pez pheno.

and my .02
I like mosca one of few breeders i'll go back to.

Hotwired.......I'm guessing (and it's just a guess) that your babies were under watered at some point and your baby roots shriveled up some, stunting their growth. This is common. I've never seen a runt in any of mine, and if anything, they grow very vigorous. Maybe you got a bad lot of seeds???

Cerberus......You nailed it buddy! WOW, a beauty!

I usually go from paper towel to rapid rooter. Then once they have a nice long root they go into the soil. I will continue growing them out in case they get going properly but with stems like these they wont get much bigger. I already put the next 5 in water.

I also use paper towels to sprout but then place them directly into their pots, underneath the soiless soil, that's very wet. It's takes a couple of days to re-pop out of the soil, but I don't have to transplant again. I think every method works, keeping them quite moist early is the key (as I'm sure you know). Under lights, one minor mistake is all it takes to dry up a medium and damage the roots.

There are a number of pheno's in this strain- just look at Cerberus's pic and then look at mine. I've read about an indica leaning pheno and a sativa leaning pheno- if you can identify the sativa one, people say let it go to 56 days. And the indica one to 52 days. I just cut them all at 52 days and was happy with it all...... In April when I grow these out again, I'll pay more attention.

SSHZ has been on point this whole thread,
yeah there is also a mystical black pheno, a pineapple pheno thats supposed to be pretty sick but my guess is thats found in the f1's (or mosca f1's i'm not sure how that works)..

thanks for the kind words.

my own .02, if its a respectable breeder (meaning someone who cares) then it'll have good pheno's all c99's "SHOULD" come from the same stock at some point.. it's the hacks you gotta worry about..

peace

got my c99 3 weeks into flower and i get a hint of pineapple and dog shit also some juicy fruit gum smells. Its pretty damn frosty in fact my second most frosty plant out of 6 strains im running currently. Ill post pics soon.

I didn't like mine very much. They grew some nice colas on the ones I let grow out but all my clones died and I never got to test the others out. I have a bunch of grapefruit vegging from Female Seeds and will write something on them once they are finished. Got 7 seeds in a pack that was only supposed to have 4 in it. They all cracked and are 1 week old now. Got some of their pure AK going too.

I ordered a single fem and its easily becoming my favorite out of my 6 strains. the c99 so far today exactly 3 weeks flower its sugary and smells so great im excited to smoke some smells like juicy fruit gum and dog shit yummy, its also got great structure and as far as i can tell has just now stopped stretching and now gaining girth in the nugs, stretch is like 250 - 300% now the tallest and what looks like will be my largest yielder out of the bunch.
Oh and cloned no problem with dome, clonex, heat mat on low, rock wool starter plugs.
didnt time it but she was quicker than my other clones and even shot a root out of the stalk down to the rock wool.

sounds nice man. how strong is the smell itself, Does it reek?

I just smoked my first Mosca C99-Bx1 after growing it 12/12 from seed. Let me say that the high just kicks ass! I smoked it late at night, and it was the first time in all my years of smoking daily that I couldn't fall asleep. I actually stayed awake during a late night movie, that was hint #1 that something was up. It had almost no body effect, just lots of mental stimuli. I just laid in bed hyper aware of everything.

I'll make sure this is my day time smoke from here on out.

How long did you let it flower for?

pretty strong she's def a stinker. Got that dank skunkiness, along with a fruit punch/pineapple dog shit smell, makes my mouth water every time i smell her.
