I've been getting into the jars of the most recent C99 harvest. I'd always let this cut go to ~59 days but this round one was chopped on 50f and the second on 57f.
The earlier plant has a significantly different buzz from the longer running ones. It is more racy and feels stronger. It's kickass weed, but I actually think I like the others better. The energy is still there, but there is a little less edge on the 8+ week flowered ones.

I've been growing this cut for close to 2 years and still learning about it. This is why I am so wary about reviews from people about a strain they grew once, especially if it was one plant. They don't even know the pheno they grew, let alone all the others. There is just so much to learn, even in one phenotype.

The more I grow, the more I realize how little I truly know.

I had old hippies and new rednecks back away after a hit or 2 of C99 a few years ago, got two right now at 33 days with clearly notable trichs already.

That KNL is bulletproof.

Curious about your success directly planting into your soil.
The seeds went straight into my hot living soil mix on May 14th after soaking in water 24 hours.
They popped out a few days later and here they are today. I think they look great, and bigger than they would have been if they went into paper towels instead of soil on the same day, but I can't say for sure. A very small amount of discoloration on one of them, some kind of variegation, but it should grow out of it.

Also attached is a bonus picture is of Mike's Texada Skunk x C99. My friend ordered four clones and gifted one to me. Left with three plants, he's already killed one from overwatering and two don't look too healthy, so I'm going to give this one back to him because it'll give him better chances of harvesting something at the end of the season. The leaves are much more sativa-thin than C99, it's very pretty to look at. The clone also went straight into my soil mix.

End of week 3 of flower. This little flowers have swelled up the last couple days. I’ve been doing 11-13 as an experiment. No way to tell as there’s no comparison but I will try that someday. I had actually already ordered another Spider Farmer sf2000 but cancelled after reading some real positive reviews on the upgraded Lenofocus so I ordered 2 and saved $140. It will be fun to do a side by side with some nice peak clones.
Taller front bud is NLxX99 then left to right is a small C99, a SweetxC99, 2 NS and a TSxC99 all in organic amended soil. Just water and a compost tea so far.

Going to initiate 12/12 tonight so that I can remove males as the room starts to crowd more. Girls will go into 7 gallon pots in my homemade soil mix that's been composting for about 5 weeks now. Plants are looking healtier than in my previous two grows, so I can see the benefits of making your own soil.

My only comment is that Peak's BB is a slow grower, it seems to like taking its time. My DJ BB is younger and larger, it's very different from Peak's.

Looking fantastic! I recall reading on here somewhere that Mike’s BB is more like the original DJ’s than DJ’s. I haven’t asked Mike about it yet at all but plan to once I germinate.

When Peaks' BB is small, the leaves look more like strawberry leaves than weed leaves. At least, in my limited experience with 8 plants.

Question for indoor soil growers. I’ve heard many talk about flipping on the 3rd node. What size pots do you guys use? I had thoughts of a SOG with a bunch of clones but I realized they’re all in 1/2 gallon pots.

In my winter grow, I vegged for exactly a month and I felt like my three-gallon smart pots were too small. Not sure if or how this would apply to little plants with three nodes though. Half-gallon pots seem kind of small to keep a plant growing throughout flower in organic soil. Maybe you should post your question to the organics forum.
 
Hello, I am a Peek Seeds newbie. My first go with 10 Blue Berry seeds was a disaster (my bad). One plant survived and it is gorgeous...never seen anything like it. I ordered 20 more BB seeds yielding 6 successful plants. 8 seeds rotted in the rapid root pods after they had germinated...did I let them get too wet? Should I have not used the pods?...the other 6 seeds did not germinate.
Also, I have received a variety of very old seeds from a friend. Apparently, they've been in a freezer forever ...guess what?...most germinated. One plant has purple feeder leaves and the 1st set of leaves is also purple...I thought it was toast, but not the case. Anyone have any idea what it might be?
I look forward to sharing ideas and photos in the future...once I figure out how to post pictures haha...till then

Blueberry is a really tough strain to grow. In my first attempt I killed all of them, but I have four now that made it to flower.

What I've noticed is how nice the leaves smell when you rub them; they're so fragrant with a sweet fruitiness. My DJ Short BB doesn't smell much at all when I rub the leaves, I actually think that Peak's genetics might be better than the genetics from the original breeder!
