Ok finaly a small update with some pics my apoligies to Mosca for the lack of updates but i have had major trouble trying to recover these babies from nute lock-out and what seemed to be a forever ending cal-mag deficiency also having these in straight coco under LED's hasnt helped i put most of my problems down to ,,,Having my LED lights, 2 126w LEDs to close to my plants causing what i thought was nute burn but actualy was just the lights being to close 6" i have raised the lights to 12" and transplanted into a coco/perlite mix and am feeding them full strength coco based nutes with some cannazym today i also noticed the stems are a reddish purple colour and are very very weak so next feed ill add some silica to strengthen up them stems anyways im back on track now and will have regular updates with pics and a big thanks to all those who have stopped by and left comments...

I have 5 C99BX1's left 2 definate female 3 unkown...

Mine had the same cal-mag problem. Still battling it - just transplanted into a lime-heavy soil mixture, so that should help. Glad to see I'm not alone on this one

Yeah m8 these BX1's seem to love the cal-mag running them next to some northern lights and Jack Herer and they dont seem to be affected as much...

In my experience, C99 is always the cal-mag-hungriest thing in the tent. Seems to hold true pretty often for its crosses, too.

Wish i had of known that before i started these as i love to keep my plants looking perfect, But im onto it now using strictly coco nutes as we dont have a cal-mag plus in my country from what ive seen, Im still getting the problem but it is much less worse and i have transplanted them from straight coco to a mix 70/30 coco/perlite...

Here are the 2 girls that recovered the quickest and are starting to really take off still showing signs of mag deficiency, after a spray with some epsom salts and a good flush things are back on track so i have decided to turn back to flower both these and my old school sensi Jack Herer cutting will be doing a scrog style setup here are some pics before i put the screen in...
