600W C99 Organic Scrog

Well I attempted an Ebb and Flow grow but I didnt feel like ph'n the res everyday so I said screw it and just went back to dirt which is what I know. I started these 2 babies in 16oz cups full of Light Warrior and watering with straight distilled water. I soaked the seeds in a glass of distilled water for about 8 hours to jump start the process but didnt let them crack. I want to keep it as natural as possible so I wanted them to
crack in the dirt. These are pictures of their first day above ground.


It took 4 days from planting a 1/4'' deep to sprout. Right now they are under a 4 bulb 4ft t5 fixture about 3'' above them and they will stay under this light until flowering time. After they outgrow the cups or need nutes they will go into 5 gallon smart pots of Roots Organic with a little bit of extra perlite and about 2 tablespoons of lime per gallon. They will finish in these as well. Going to be using the General Organics Go Box once the RO soil runs out of nutes.


The Grow Room


False wall in my closet. The shelve pulls out. Gotta be stealthy.

The smart pots and the stand they are on. Had to build something for them to sit on that allows me to flush them without moving them as this is going to be a scrog. Underneath them will be two 5 gallon buckets. The drip trays have holes in them and the excess water will drip into the buckets.


Cool mist humidifier and oscillating/tilting fan.

600W air cooled hps, 6'' fan, and carbon filter. Keeps the temps about 4 degrees above ambient with the air being vented out underneath my house. Passive intake through my bedroom wall..

600w digital dimmable switchable ballast and fan speed controller.


Feel free to post comments or suggestions.. Wish me luck!!

Nothing special but I like to take pics to compare to other grows..

They don't look to have grown much and they are leaning over so I put a straw around them. I dont think I have watered them too much seeing that I have only watered them once since they poked their heads up. There seems to be little black spots on the tips of the sides of the leaves as well. Only distilled water so it's not burn. I guess I should just wait.

Well they are growing.. Slow but growing I did a little research and have read many posts about Female Seeds C99's being slow starters so I stopped freaking out and am letting mother nature do her thing. I transplanted them to their 5 gallon smart pots full of Roots Organic, Light Warrior, and perlite (5/1/1 ratio) because one of them was turning a light green and the cotelydon was turning yellow. When I pulled them out of the styrofoam cups they were full of roots so all was good.

As you can see they are still pretty small.......


Looks like 2 different phenotypes?

I just put a female seeds C99 in to a peat pellet about 3-4 days ago. I've been kinda stressing out cus its not up yet. Hopefully its just going slow. Your little girls are looking good though. I think I'm being biased, I cracked some white widow seeds last week and they were out of the ground in 24 hours. I really want this Cindy though, I've wanted it for years. I've never tasted it or even seen it, but from everything I've heard, and the fact that I love sativas, I really want to get it going.

They should pop. I was 4 for 4 with getting them above ground but with all of them the stems were really weak, even with oscillating fans on them. All 4 were leaning over regardless of watering. I cant really compare them to my last grow because it was a different strain (Northern Light x Skunk) and sprouted in FFOF. Im hoping the difference is the soils but you tell me.. This one was on the same day as the Cindys.


Either way I'm going to keep them going cause I really want to smoke some C99 too. Keep me posted on how yours are doing so we can compare.. Did you germ them before you planted?

I think these took about 4 days until I could see anything above ground and that was with an 8 hour soak. The root was not out of the seeds when planted.

Just picked up my General Organics Go Box.. Is there anything in the box I should be adding right now. I know I don't need the Bio Thrive Grow yet but I was wondering about the Bio Root and Weed, Black Diamond, and CaMg+(since I'm using distilled). Any opinions?

Looks like they are noticeably growing everyday now!!

My afghan is about the same age and size. Slow growers

Good deal.. I was really worried because this is only my second grow so I dont have much to compare it to.. Thanks for stopping by

hey man ,love the stealth ,super cool.Your seedlings are small for the age..but they look healthy.Are you letting the pots dry out fully between waterings?.If you let it get dry ,then the roots grow out like mad looking for water ,then when they finally get a watering and a feed they explode because they have that extra root system..But they look ok to so maybe just a slow starter.It will be interesting to compare our grows for sure..subbed like a mofo

Ya once they broke ground they got 1 full watering in the cups and then 1 1/2 waterings in the 5 gallons. I let em dry out both times. They seem to picking up the pace now though. There is another C99 grow from Female Seeds on here and their plants look just like mine at the same age so maybe its a genetic thing. I wish it was the other way around where you were two weeks ahead of me lol..

Does anyone know if the pineapple pheno is a sativa or a more indica strand?

Changed the lighting to 20/4 (8pm-4pm) Will probably change to 18/6 a few weeks before 12/12. At least thats the plan as of now.

Good stuff, Pinapple is mostly sativa, looks like your in for the long haul.

Yes I am. Im determined to take these to harvest!! Im hoping the sativa looking one is the pineapple pheno but I'll be happy with any kind of C99. Im hoping these like a dark cycle in veg and they will grow a little faster.

Yeah i run 18/6 for veg. My afghan Goo is mostly sativa as well and is growing very slow as well.
I love this smoke report though

The seedling look realy good but, I think you should remove the straw, as the plant grows, it will crush the main stem and could cause a lot of problems
