Hey @KeizerSoze ! :grin:

You’ve posted the nicest pix of a most beautiful woman in your garden but I’ve not seen one in quite a while. Just wanted to let you know that, were you to post others, I would most definitely give you a like.

Just put two NS x C99 in flower this week and I have 6 homemade Blueberry x KN into paper towel to plant tomorrow.
I just crossed a nice peak male C99, with atomical haze & durga mata cbd from paradise, and my NL thai pheno from peak...
I'm tossing in a couple SweetSkunk beans under CMH, 12/12 from seed for shits and giggles..
I've had success running both his ss & ss x c99 straight from seed in 90-100 days for 3-4 footers & then till able to reveg both
Acted alot like mighty mite with a big main cola and several good branches. Worked good to fill in unused gaps in corners & edges with other bushy plants

6 of my homemade back cross Sweet Skunk hit the towel. Seeds are at least 6 years old. 4/5 BB x KN are up in the solos. I had 2 NS x c99 in flower and both were boys.

@hillbill , I wonder how good your Northern Skunk x C99 homemade cross has turned out regarding potency. I have made several crosses using PeakSeedsBC's C99 as pollen donor, and in all cases the potency of the crosses turned out lower than either of the parents on their own.

Actually, now that I think about it, MikeJ himself has had the same experience: notice that in his website he classifies Sweet Skunk as "very strong" in potency, but the Sweet C99 (which is Sweet Skunk with C99 pollen) only gets a "strong" potency rating. So C99 knocked SS's potency down a notch.

Pretty disappointed with this outcome (considering everyone says C99 is supposed to be "better" in crosses than by itself) and the mothers I've used (White Widow, Strawberry Kush, Headband) were very good on their own.

Northern Lights has always been listed as “strong” but the NS99 potency is fine but banners are not unknown. Northern Skunk, even my homemade, seems stronger than either parent. I f2ed Kush/NL with excellent results and several phenos. The Blueberry x KN cross is interesting with mid dense buds and earthy hashness. The B.B. mom shows through with mutant seedlings and twisted leaves early.

Very nice so far.
What fragrance are you getting?
I have two females, both very similar structure, both smell of blueberry but one more intriguing (to me) than the other. Neither one had much of smell at all till about 3 weeks of flowering, initially they were a bit slow and didn't interest me much. One has a sickly sweet almost bubblegum blueberry smell but didn't like my soil mix (burned to a crisp) so I have a clone going in a different mix. The one pictured has probably 3 weeks left. very dense buds, and smell of blueberry, if it tastes like it smells and is good smoke I will be very pleased. Sill curious to get the more candy or gum smelling one flowering again though. I'll get them dialed in and do a few more runs for sure.

I think I'm going to have to cull my smallest c99 because it's looking like it might be a dud. It has it's cotyledon leaves but I can't see any true leaves showing. There is a tiny dot that I can't even see with my jewelers scope, lol. I kind of figure the later generations would exhibit slower growth but out of the 3 healthier ones I should find a nice girl or 2 and maybe a good male.

Thanks man for the info. What's the high like on the Kush x NL? Someone said the Kush NL were too narcotic, what's your experience?

Very narcotic but that is why I bought it in the first place. I help my wife and her brother with insomnia and this is great for that. Sweet Skunk or crosses will have active highs. I like the c99 crosses better than c99 as it was too rushy for my smoke buddies. Old hippies and even old redneckhippies begged off after a couple hits.
