Yes its better to buy the more affordable one thats for sure
Plant looks pretty good, what kind of smells are you getting from it?
I have run more than my share of JW C99 f-2’s, and they have about 5-6 pheno expressions out of 70-80 run so far . That is a very filled out c99 for five weeks, mine look like that at around 50 days of flower.
It smells to me like very sweet tropical fruit, pineapple with like a lemon zest edge to it. G/f says it smells minty. To be clear, when I say 5 weeks flowering I mean 35 days since the first visible clusters of pistils. I reduced light hrs gradually from 18/6 and then about a week of 12/12 before I saw visible flower formation, so if you count 12/12 time, it would be 6 weeks. Either way it is definitely fatter than the Cindys I ran from Joey in 2007/2008 at this point, but so are the other 3. The plant pictured is the shortest of the 4 Cindys, and was the densest and frostiest early on, though the others have more or less caught up; branches were requiring support as early as 3 weeks into flower. The others have smells ranging from fruit punch to grapefruit to one that had been smelling like pink starbursts until a couple weeks ago and now is pretty pineappley.
I have to also assume that a large part of the observed difference between then and now is owing to different methods, conditions, and experience. The 07/08 runs were my first two grows in a smaller space done with 250w MH/HPS, in 2 gallon pots with cheap dirt/perlite and Fox Farms Grow Big/Big Bloom. This current run is like my 10th overall and I'm running two 315w CMH @ 70w/sq ft, in 3.6 gallon pots of living organic soil. Otherwise, these girls seem very similar to what I remember - just thriving on the improved light and soil. There's still a lot of new white pistils coming out so I'd say they will probably go at least 2 more weeks.
I need to go research Nuggetshiner. Did he do a good job on c99?
Here's the full C99 chop fresh from harvest (minus popcorn buds still hardening on the vine):

I have asked this at least 3 times and no one seem a to want to answer me... but, what is the problem with Brother Grimm's current c99? I have not really looked into it but obviously people are still looking for the old c99 and me included. Cam someone please let me in????
Thanks, Hemphrey! Cindy certainly is a pretty girl. Here's a couple shots of two of the other three - Cindys #1 and #7 (the last one, #4, was too floppy to even pose for a picture, lol!)
