Thanks for posting a pic! Regs or Fems?
They look a lot more spindly than the 2005 stock I had. But it's in flower were they should take off. Still waiting for my reg beans.

Regular seeds. Feminized came out right after I ordered mine. I actually let them grow to between 2 to 3 feet tall before cutting them down to current height. I wanted to see the normal structure prior to turning them into bushes.here is what they looked like before topping. The left front plant was the tall spindly one below. I cut it shorter as I figure it will try to take off again.

Oh ok thats why. Wow you topped she shit out of them! That second pic looks promising. I always topped at 4th or 5th node from seed.
And yes that one looks stretchy!
Did you switch from soil to DWC? The taller plant pics are in a pot right?

It's funny you ask that. The 3 c99 have been dwc from the start. I use 5 gallon bucket net pots to hold them. My dwc 18g totes just have holes cut into them that fit the cup. It stabilizes the plant better and I can pull them out and set them into a 5g bucket for matinence stuff as needed.
The right front plant is one of my tangerine kush bonsai moms. She was transplanted from dirt to dwc.

That's a bunch of media. Do you think you would have better DWC growth with less?
I notice my plants don't go ballistic until roots extend past the net pot. So a 4" net pot takes off faster than a 6" in my setup. I am sure you get great support though.

Ice Princess seemed to be under developed when I checked in a while ago.
Apollo 11 reminds me of a Romulan.
I see some advances in there seed line today.
White Widow seems like a fashionable grow. I would love to hear some reports on that strain specifically...
Anyone?

Correction. They are started in 3" net pots in a diy seedling dwc bucket. Once they get to be around 4 to 6 inches I transplant them to the 6" 5g pot lids. I just coil the roots around the bottom of the 6 inch pot and bury the roots and 3"net pot in hydroton. I usually make some cuts in the 3" pot to allow for the trunk to swell up later. Here's the baby tray in action.

Last pic looks most like my favorite 2 girls out of my 2 packs....has a bit of stretch with longer internode spacing and thinner leaves.

I like stretchy plants. They tend to respond well to topping and plant bondage. I'm excited to see how these girls do. It's been a few grows since I played with seeds.

Hey Lifeless, Here is the p75. Started in 12/12 @ 10 inches tall. Finished in 55 days @ 18". Dense as fuck nugs with skinny ass stems that hold up until the end even though they are bendy. Really digging this effect too. Strong and nice smell.

Here's my 3 c99 just starting bloom. Very vigorous plants!
I met Soul at the emerald cup and he just kept loading me up a big bong with his gear and saying, "here, now try this one". needless to say, he got me blasted out of my gourd. I grabbed a few packs of his gear. Later on, when i went to the nor-cal cup, I hadn't smoked in several months (self imposed break from flowers), & not long after i arrived, i lost my cell phone. I had that sick feeling you get when you lose your phone, and I was wandering around the cup sober as hell and in a daze, unable to enjoy myself at all. I finally gave up searching, and decided I may as well try to make something of my time there. I walked past the booth that Soul shared with Nerds genetics (another great guy). He remembered we had met b4, and told him my predicament. I asked if he had Queen of Soul in stock, which he did. I grabbed those, and then he said, "I happen to have some flowers of the Queen, wanna give it a try?". With all my stress, the time felt perfect to smoke again. he loaded me up, and I took a few hits. It was smooth as silk, and tasty too! It was strong, up, and very clear. It took away the edge, settled me down, and helped me think a little clearer. Then I walked back inside the gated area, calmly re-traced my steps, and eventually found my phone! what a day that was. big shout out to brothers grimm and nerds genetics. great people, and great gear

Dry shot! Just mid canopy bud. Cut to sample when tricomes are cloudy. I'll share more pics and harvest weights as things progress.
