here goes White Widow x Big Bud #2 along side Fem seeds C99 I have two phenos, one that wants to go sky high with little side branching and one that takes well to topping and lst major side branching. both smell of tropical fruits, artificial pineapple. Might buy a pineapple just to remember the smell and compare.

day 3 of light switch.
c99 leggy pheno> WWxBB#2 > c99 keeper pheno.

Looking damn good Buz.
speaking of pineapples, let me tell you what I did with PE.
Decided to experiment a bit. I ran out, bought a fresh pineapple, let it sit a couple days till it was nice & ripe...it was the first thing u smelled when u walked in the house. Then I cut small chunks (as if I was coring an apple). I wanted the outer part also cuz its what gave off that funky part of the smell. I then taped the chunks to the lids of jars & continued curing, burping of course periodicly until the pineapple dried a bit then just left the lid on till it dried out completely then repeated.
end result....SMELL, was of a deep musky, slightly overly ripe crate of pineapples
TASTE, was great ! Like pineapples but not sharp. More of a musky, funky pineapplly taste on the inhale but very sweet when blowing out. Inhale was also very, very smooth

Well lets see how she does got a clone of her so if the smoke is good mass clones of her to keep her in rotation. I know I wanna keep that c99 around. After this round its pheno hunting with the pv and the gangster of from hazeman. There no grow threads of them so lets see what I get. Imma dump all the seeds in 1gallon pots of coco and cram the cab with them.

so we have weight piling up, what can i do to stop the fall? this lady is so heavy that its leaning over and I still have about 4 weeks to go. should i tie up the colas, use wire cleaners, or something else? what are some cheap and effective methods you guys use?

I always have fishing line laying around so I use that, tied loosly around the base of the cola & tied off over head. Snug enough to keep cola from leaning but loose enough as to not have the line cut into the plant......never had a problem, works for me.

its no problem dank you can post away. I love your "Marie" projects and the reasoning behind it. I lost my mother due to cancer 2 years back. On another note just noticed my cab project started popping flowers so I am a very happy camper tonight. its only been a week since flip so the sites are very small, almost didn't notice it. I watered them tied c99 keeper pheno down a little more and super cropped one of the c99 leggy phenos branches cause its almost at the light again. I went to put a new fly trap down in there cause i seen a gnat, thats when I noticed it. I really gotta go get some new glasses, its been almost two years without em.

Those stretchy 4" square holed nylon nets are the best thing to stop them falling over.

No offence to Jojaxx but a mate of mine was advised to use fishing line, something he didn't tell me when he asked for a hand trimming them! It took the best part of 2 hours removing and untangling the fishing line before we even got to start trimming!

It may be ok if you only have a few buds falling over to use fishing line, but the nets are much easier to remove.

No offence taken Neo....so your buddy basically made himself a net out of fishing line by the time he was done. Ya gotta do things like....if ya got 2 or 3 braches leaning the same way, link them together so that u only have to tie 1 line over head......plus im always fishing so I keep supplies, this was just my cheap quick & easy method.

i had pvc and extra line to do a second scrog net just never got around to doing it, now im paying for it. next round, right? for now i guess ill use twine to tie em up.
thanx for reminding me about the 2nd scrog net. Was thinking the exact same thing when I grew that stretchy-blue berry. I knew what I was in for & had planned on making a 2nd1 but just forgot to. Waking up & finding buds all slumped over tends to bring your memory back very quickly tho....lol
