I'm 2 weeks in from sprout with my Mosca C99. 5 out of 5 germed. Very tiny plants but they are all exactly the same in size and shape. I'm a bit concerned about their size tho. They all look like runts to me.

Got them in FF soil under HO T5's.

did you start flowering early? my joey weed's were all under 2 1/2 feet tall when i started them flowering at the 3rd leafset which i must have gotten from reading grow guides at the start of indoor growing when EVERYTHING was sea of green. as they only flower 45-55 days depending on whose version you get, they don't have a lot of time to stretch.

i'm going to try and preserve my joey weed phenos. i've found that i do have something like 5% viability with mine that i harvested when the seeds looked "full size" but were on the green side.

i REALLY wish more people would switch from same old same old mids and start doing C99 & A11. i'll take C99 over ANYTHING i've wasted money on (except maybe mexican bagseed from brick that wasn't as good to smoke originally anyways) since the mid 80s. as people like getting high just a little bit more than stoned, you'd think grimm's "holy grails" (according to jack herer!) would flood the market & take over.

i'm bummed that i only have 2 C99 x A11s left. i'm hoping i have 1 each so i can test it and breed it to everything else in my garden. i have a couple JW C99 BXes to work with right now so far though and might use one of those as my male though they're started a week or so behind everything else. joey's C99 had clear short & tall phenos, but i don't recall any big difference in THC profiles. i chose the fastest to start flowering male shorty to back cross with as i wanted to use the strain for speeding up & shrinking IBLs.

i also have 1 super cali haze X C99 i'm hoping has a vagina. so far, none of my haze skunk x C99s are popping, but i've gotten a couple of those to sprout before.

humidity domes are really good for speeding up sprouting, but when you're using pellets, you can get both mold AND dry outs. i think i'll buy another one next year to have more room for 16oz cups.

imagine just how much better the entire scene would be today if C99 & A11 were available instead of afghanis when the indoor scene got forced. you wouldn't have an entire generation that has no fucking clue what getting high is. i'm glad to see all the peeps in here do and that you're all on the case growing for quality over quantity. maybe in another 20 years, the market will reflect what people actually want to smoke better than what the gimmes tell them to.

Wow, I have never ever ever seen a plant 2 1/2 feet tall at its THIRD LEAF SET....

Only someone who has never grown before would say that...

Thanks for the thumbs up Hazey. This is my first shot with any C99. Not flowering yet. It will be another 9 weeks before that happens. They are 2 weeks in from sprouting. Will be another few weeks before sex shows and another few weeks taking clones. Then some veg time and on to the flower room.

I may take some shots if I get a camera. They are very small in stature and the leaves are very tiny. It would worry me except that all 5 are almost identical. If they don't "take off" in the next two weeks I'll worry more then, but for now it's wait and see. I would like to get one good male and hit my 2 year old female OG #18 with some pollen. See what I get out of that.

So who knows the deal with these Mosca bx c99? They supposed to be small at the start? I'm a patient man but if these stay tiny I may chuck them and do the last 5.

First I wouldnt take advice from that dude. When dude told u he is a quack it was truth.

I also wouldn't breed with the OG #18. It's from a fem seed correct? Bad idea breeding with anything fem. It promotes hermies in the line. That's why people have such issues with fem seeds. It's gonna mess up the gene pool.

Then to answer your question. Every grow of mosca c99bx I've seen they have taken off quickly. Makes even less sense since u are under t5s. I'm sure you're used to good growth with those. Maybe try an aerate the soil. Slow growth could be so many diff things. How do they look aside from the small size and slow growth?

i have looked at the mosca c99 too, looks great,

i remember quite a few folk up in arms mad about DNA genetics a few years back
for their cannalope haze, people claiming it was a direct rip-off of c99 or was c99 renamed or whatever

if that is the case and it is that close to the original, perhaps it is worth a try too

peace

I never said I was breeding. I said I would hit the OG 18 with some pollen. Probably 2 of the lower branches just to see what the results would be. Breeding? Where did you see that?

I never said they had slow growth. I said they all are tiny. I don't expect much for the first 2 weeks but the leaves are smaller than most others I've grown. I hope they will take off in the next week or 2.

wheezer - thanks for posting those pics. Your babies seem to have larger first true leaves than mine. Please post a pic when the first triple fingered leaves come up next. My first set of trip leaves is in and the second node is forming now.

I've had runty plants start getting much bigger leaves after hitting the 3rd or 4th node sometimes. I hope that happens with these.

In another thread he posted a picture of seeds, said that he was going to plant them and 1.5 hours later he posted a picture of seedlings....

If youre gonna hit lowers with pollen. That would produce seed. Which would be breeding as far as I'm aware of?

And I misunderstood you on the tiny part. I assumed that meant slow growth. I was wrong.

his C99 is kill, but i did also get his Bubba Kush X Oldtime Moonshine as a freeB when i orderd from attitude... like you said, wasent anything to realy wright home about, still nice smoke tho, non the less


I bought a bunch of Mosca's C99 about 1.5 years ago.....actually I bought up a bunch (maybe 60 beans) with my quick typing fingers on an auction. I grew it out twice, and I think some of the grows are documented on THCFarmer. It's a nice representation of C99. Everyone claims to have/want the "fruity punch" pheno but I've never seen it- mine either had no smell or a citrusy odor and taste. And no, I've never seen the pineapple pheno either, although they may be talking about the citrus pheno which I found many of. They yielded very well a bunch of golf ball size hard nuggets, grew tall and were easy to handle with no issues. My first grow I let go to 60 days and it was average. My second grow I harvested at 52 days and they were perfect. Even Mosca states to harvest on day 51 or 52, no matter the color of the trichomes. And he's right. Letting it go longer destroys the speedy sativa buzz. I have not seen these offered again, other than in his hybrids lately. I plan on growing it out again, maybe in my next grow in April. I miss the buzz.

I'm glad you put a question mark on your sentence. Breeding is a whole different ball game and I want none of that.

Pollination, on the other hand, is what I am doing. I am pollinating the lower branches to get some seeds. Then I will grow them out to see what I get. Stopping at this point.

If I continued this method over and over again to produce a new strain then I would become a so called "pollen chucker"/breeder. Get it now?

SSHZ - I heard about that. Some people say let them go but I will pull them at 50 to 52 days.

If you check over at THCFarmer, Mosca pipes in and states definitely take them at exactly 52 days- no more. I did and he was absolutely right!

yeah mine, is deff a 55 dayer, no more never. i did the BX's hoping for a pineapple pheno and did not get it.. BUT i did get a pheno that has a 'red pez' smell, i would not call it fruity per say, more like candy, with fruit flavor smell.. the smoke has none of that taste but real smooth.. I really like mosca's c99 I used their line to knock up an elite clone only in my parts, and the offspring is off the hook..

can't go wrong with mosca

I think that's the desired "fruity punch" pheno that's the keeper everyone wants.........good job~

nice nice, thanks.

like i said i got a male with all the same charectoristics of the 'pez', so i used him knock up an "mob" clone only and the seeds that came from it are off the hook.

Very, very nice....... nicely green and healthy, even at the end. Mine looked somewhat different though and it may be I didn't give mine enough light so they stretched some. And they weren't as far along as yours but rep is deserved!
