Is G13 C99 a real C99?

amen on the wagon, that was my buddy when I did it, I had 6 or 7 plants in 8 gallon buckets. the biggest thing for me was the bouncing colas, when I moved them, they'd sway around with their weight, and were so damn tall...
Meh, reminds me of when I lost a fat cola on my blue dream, damnit, thing split down the stem, and was toast

That's funny! Mine sways all around and the buds barely fit through the door.
It grew up outside in Colorado and the weather here is varying all the time. major wind, hail, rain. It's a beast. I topped and bent it early and spread it out. I topped it one more time for 8 colas and it built big antlers. I have the camera, I'm going for bud pics.

Here are some random bud shots.
The sun is directly overhead so impossible to crouch over it.

Just wondering if it's a real C99 or at least a cross with the Brothers Grimm's stuff and if it's worth it.
Strain description says it's Grapefruit x Pineapple but isn't the original C99 a backcrossed Jack Herer pheno? Anyone grew it?

No clue on the source or authenticity of their C99 genetically but I can say that their version is very nice...pinappley, almost a kushy undertone, and strong hybrid high even though they call it a sativa...better than their blue Og for sure.

Thanks guys, i think it is worth a try. Any advice on the veg time? Do you think it will work as 12/12 from seed or with a very short veg time?

FS is only 7-8 wks in bloom; 12/12 from se-ed would likely not yield enough to matter. If you're in a hurry, put it in your bloom area a couple of days after taking 2 clones. Your mom, depending on grow factors, should give you a zip. Give your clones 2 weeks veg after rooting, and they'll reward you with mucho good-o in 7 1/2 weeks bloom.

dam nice encrusted outdoor bud shots, Rocky. I bet that will be some nice heady smoke! Im thinking of ordering a pack of Mosca C99bx...while this bad-ass-attitude promo is on. No? Please someone talk me out of it...

I'm more concerned about the hight and i want to give 12/12 from seed or rooted clone a go anyway since i've seen the thread of the guy with the Frank Zappa avatar.

I just put one into flower a few days ago. It was a freebie from last March promo.
I am very skeptical though. I have never seen anything from G13 Labs worth a shit.
Not saying they don't have anything worth a shit, but I havent seen it.\
Their Chocolate Heaven that was a freebie might be the 2nd worst plant I have ever seen, just behind Tangerine Dream from BF.

That was a bad plant! I mean mine didn't intersex, but my friends outdoor plant from the bean I gave him was simply bad quality by my standards. He was more excited about it than I was, but again he's glad simply to have 4 or 5 ounces. He should of had more from that space.

The buds were tiny, nothing at all like a thai plant or even sativa to me. Smelt like candy, so at least that was a selling point. The effects were kinda short lived and not anything a grower would brag about, or run a second time for that matter.

ETA about mites. Outdoors, spider mites often are competing with nature. Things can eat them and they really like certain conditions. If the environment isn't overly dry, it seems that alone can help keep them at bay. Spider mites and mite in general don't like high humidity. That's why they can be so destructive indoors as usually humidity is low in our gardens. Spider mites I found were a walk in the park compared to the cursed broad mites. I was able to get rid of them with some neam oil mixed with pepper spray and giving the plants a shower now and then. No poisons needed, just time and persistence.

Because you know the guy who made it right?
Or you have the original cut.
Or you knew the Brothers Grimm.

You see.... a statement like that is usually followed by some supportive evidence or back story to support your claims.

Whatever you choose to call it, I am thrilled with this FS stock and will continue to grow the shit out of it!
I will even continue to call it C99 since it smells, tastes like pineapple/grapefruit, yields great, clones great, has the sativa high and finishes quickly.

So far so good on my FS c99

The FUCK are you talking about? Why you talking FS when I was talking about g13? You seem confused.

Yeah. I've grown the bros grimm original. Lost it. Later tried G13's and it was GARBAGE. That's how I know.

Quit bitching and moaning about nothing.

EDIT: out of 3 G13 strains I tried I thought they were ALL garbage.

Anyone tried C99 from PeaskeedsBC? I've been interested in trying them for a while, I have just never tried this legendary strain in it's original form.

I had a particularily good time with my C99 from g13, the Blue Og was also pretty good... but I felt like both strains weren't A+ they were about C+ in my book.

The C99 tasted amazing and yielded decent but I felt more indica in it than sativa and that is a let down to me. Especially when I was looking for something racy and got something mellow...
