as to C99 X lien huanh, i wanted that one too originally, but went with splash which has only a little bit of LH because it's closer to C99 and i wanted to try cindy "as is" first. my A11g beans have 25% LH though. what i REALLY wanted was 100% LH for breeding purposes. i don't know though. i've heard one report stating spice brothers sucks so i might end up trying another bank's C99 & A11s down the road if that's true. fortunately, i have plenty of other strains to cover the sativa end, but i haven't heard of any of them being trippy. i know KM wasn't. it's only my second favorite strain because i really like sativas that fuck with reality. THAT'S what you smoke when watching crazy SFX & comedy movies or listen to trippy music. i really miss that "thai buzz". that's the most important goal i have.

another interesting sativa sounds like barney's mekong haze, but i've only been able to find a delta 9 knockoff. the cannabible describes it as extra trippy shit. THAT'S what i want for my kush hybrid, the trippiest pure sativa i can find. all of the african sativas are getting harder to find by now sadly. i couldn't find anymore pure malawi gold. whatever you do if you're looking for malawi, DON'T get the seedsman version! i got a PM from someone who bought it and said it totally sucked and he was an experienced grower.

i just finished planting the rest of my beans today. the ones i had under the shoplight were a little dried out today because i put a 9" fan in the closet and even pointing away from the plants, it moved enough air to dry the soil out. i hope it didn't kill any of the beans that haven't sprouted yet. i still might soak another couple burmese to make up for the two ones with damaged shells too. as small as burmese is for a "pure sativa" (looks like it has indica in it to me) it would make a great building block for any kind of sativa hybrid for indoor grows. that's what i intended to be the last 50% of the kush hybrid.
(trippy IBL sativa X troublemaker) X burmese

this grow will definately give me a better idea of which strains to use for breeding and which are merely OK.

the ones that sprouted yesterday opened up today and 2 more lowdowns sprouted and 1 more cali-o. now i've put cardboard sheets in front of the light except the last foot with the fan blowing next to them so it gently pulls air out at the end. hopefully that will let the pots retain enough water for 24 hours. if not, i'm going to have to transfer everything to 16 oz cups ahead of schedule which will be a pain in the ass with soil that doesn't bind at all and that would rather stick to the inside of the containers. you have to be extra gentle transplanting like that so as not to damage the roots.

i went to 4-5 department stores trying to find little starter pots like the ones in the photos to no avail! not one store had them and by the time i got to a garden center, they were closed. i went back today though and they had the best kind for just 10 cents each! they're square like the ones in the pictures, but without the rim on top making it so much easier to gently pat the soil down before planting. square pots don't waste any space in between each other for more soil per plant.

i tell y'all, posting my journal here is making me keep focused on the finish line better. i'm not even thinking about pruning for leaf smoke. if i did that now, i'd publicly embarrass myself! LOL

Your growing Cinderella 99 x Vietnamese Black? Holy shit. I read about that, sounds amazing.

Vietnamese Black X C99

Offspring of this cross has produced a range of outcomes from the trippiest to soaring highs while others can bring on paranoia, racing heart beat and hallucinations for those not used to it.
The most early finishing phenos are around 10+ weeks, which is the fastest pheno I’ve found to date.
A large majority will finish around the 12 -14 weeks while the rarely some will try and push past the 15 week .
Recommended for only experienced growers if attempted indoors.
For indoor grows I highly recommend flowering direct from seed and provide ample light to achieve maximum results.
A good curing period is essential for a quality smoking session.
