I had some problems with the germination ratio with the FEM Grapefruit, got a 4 pack and only one made it. Shes under 2 150w CFLs and a 150w HPS. Im gonna scrog her.

WeeD22MaN - i think i may only veg for 2 weeks maybe 3... Ive read the GF likes to stretch quite a bit.... i am using nutes Fox Farm's Big Grow, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Floralicous Plus.... hopefully she will turn out great. :joint:

linksys,I'm confused didnt you get in touch with francine and get another 4 pak?I also only had 1 germinate,she sent me a replacement pak and I got 3 of 4 out of that one.Maybe I'm getting you confused with someone else,I thought she fixed you up.If I'm mistaken give her an email.she knows about the problem and will fix you up more than likely.I also had the same problem with white widow,she sent me another 4 pak and all 4 germed this time.

Scrog her and take a clone, so you can keep your female grapefruit plant :sasmokin: She is from female seeds I suppose? Then she is 75% the same as C99
I have their C99 in my current grow and am very pleased, so good luck with her! She will stretch quite a bit when flowering starts

I have cloned them all but the keeper is one that stretches 6 inches. She is a bigger yeilder. i have 3 different tasting ones like this. out of 11 seed plants going I picked three and they are all a little different.

Exact same thing happened with one of my FS grapefruit seeds. Tried to take the shell off on the fourth or fifth day and there were no leaves inside: just a bunch of white mushy gunk.

Two out of three germed nicely and were switched to 12/12 a few days ago, seven weeks from seed.

Both appear to be the same pheno: small delicate leaves, quite short (< 2 ft) and compact.

dre86, SKELETOR, and vonforne - i am so taking a couple of clones... from what i hear gf is an amazing strain and ill keep you guys posted on how much she will stretch... ill also take a shot on making a mum... the people at femaleseeds really kick ass it was amazing how fast they are at taking care of problems.

Erin Kerrik - yea dude it sucked when that happened... mine kinda was coming out a bit but then never made it... and it put me way behind schedule... but this one looks good and hopefully i get the short compact pheno.

im kinda upset boutique doesn't have the xline c99 anymore :badday:

thank you all

I have 4 of those x-line cindy's inflower now,female seeds is a great comapny arent they?Glad to hear they fixed you up too.Yea this grapefruit has to be the shorter pheno,it stretched less than the ice and way less than the cindy's.I have 2 cindy's that stretched to 5 ft.,glad I have to room lol.You see I have 3 other GF in veg,the replacements from francine,and I'm sure they are the tall ones.I'll just flower those without taking cuttings since I have a couple cuts of the flowering grapefruit in veg.

yes the ones the stretch and are more potent yeild badly. very small popcorn buds. But on the lighter side it is good head stash just not very good to keep around for the grow.

So you are saying the stretchy ones are a bit more potent but dont yield as well?

Not sure about the exact amount of stretch, but the three phenos I grew were a branchy plant that stretched some, an indica dominant plant that still kept a sativa bud structure, and a hybrid of the two that stretched the most. The hybrid has the best smell and yield, and to me the high seemed pretty uniform across the board.

I'd take the hybrid for perpetual, since it was easily the strongest and fastest growing plant in veg.

Erin I saw your other thread and went and checked my cindy's,I dont have any of those extra inner leaves.I've never seen that its pretty bizarre but if you ask me its a sign of vigor and vitality probably a good thing.
