I saw a pretty cool grow of mosca c99 on ic mag. The guy popped like 50 or something.
Thanks mang....woah! thats the kinda grow i dream about! i wish i could pop 10 packs of one thing. The sativa phenos looked legit to me, but ive never seen indica phenos like that , if he wouldnt have stated it was all C99 ida thought some of those plants were hybrids, a few of my Blueberry x Cindys looked liek some of his wider leafed plants. They all looked dank tho , from what ive seen KOS is prolly the most legit for public sale. My plants looked identical to the ones i seen from KOS.
Hey Dizzle, Here's a quote frome one of Mosca's testers:Thats what i never understood about his line, the Bx and the F1 tags. I havnt seen his new stuff , but i wanna now lol Fuck i wish had a terpine list handy , is there one?
Which pheno did you grow Pipe? i wanna say 3 but im bad im the mem dept haha
good info. I wasn't aware of what the backcross referred too. I figured it was an orginal bros grimm c99 from before these lines were worked. That makes sense now that the backcross would have more PA phenos. It does get confusing when you start getting into what a p1 is and so forth. If you think about it, c99 was already an IBL so any continuation should technically been f-whatever but not 1 or 2. IMO, in order to create an F1 hybrid, you have to use 2 completely different lines. Think about it, the thing that gives them the hybrid vigor is that they are unrelated and recessive combinations are extremely unlikely in that generation. Only the dominant genes will be evident and stable if the parents are true breeding. For these we can say that really it's just a IBL that has been worked by two seperate breeders and they chose to focus on different aroma phenotypes. Other than that, they are basically still the same line and probably breed true for many other characteristics but I think the "hybrid vigor" statement is nothing more than advertising. Their products look good though.Hey Dizzle, Here's a quote frome one of Mosca's testers:
"Here is the breakdown for everyone, Mosca has Reeferman's F4 and Wallyduck's F5, The Reef line was selected and inbred for the Pink Candy Grapefruit phenotype, while the Wally Line was selected and inbred for the Pineapple Phenotype, Mosca's "Prize Male" is his Wallyduck F5 Pineapple. The reason his Cindy is considered an F1, is because the lines were so diverged, essentially they were two different things, most people consider an F4 as stable(if selection is done correctly, that's the big difference between a Breeder and a Chucker), He used a Reef's Pink Candy Grapefruit C99 as the F1's mother, he used his Wally's (prize male) F5 as the father, both being their own thing, being used as P1's, it demonstrates F1-like hybrid vigor because of that genetics difference, A 50% PCGF C99 & A 50% Pineapple C99, this is how he created his Mosca C99 F1. The C99 BX-1 is a female F1 he made, recrossed to his Wallyduck's F5 prize male.
F1----(Reefs f4 mom x Wly's f5 dad)
Bx-1----{(Reefs f4 mom x Wly's f5 dad)mom x Wly's F5 dad}
The Pineapple yields better, so the BX-1 and the F1 yield the same, with the BX-1 you have a greater chance at the pineapple pheno, than with the F1. Flower time is same length, and any yield lost in the BX-1 is offset because you're supposed to be looking for the Pineapple if you get the BX-1, and the F1 is to find a pheno of each, and a blended pheno."
I hope this helps~BuilttoEnjoy
Flowering is induced by the amount of dark they get. You can flower girls with 24 hours on and then 12 hours off if you wanted to from what I understand. So you can do whatever you want as long as they don't start recieving less than 12 hours darkness at a time. I am assuming that heat or electreicity is the reason for the change so just leaving the light off for a day like Lil B said would probably be the most sensible option.K friends got a question for you guys, say i had a single plant about 2 weeks into flower, lights come on at
12pm and go off at 12am. And what has to happen there is no choice but i need to change the timing on
it to lights on at 12am to off at 12pm. I have never done this lol but what is the worst case scenario?
well you might get a lil stretch if you go longer dark period, especially if they are still growing. IDK. Good luck.Thanks pipe dream! Wish i had a other options this dam blazing blue just geting to big for the little area its in so im trying to move her to the big room
very nice list batman! *LIKE*Here is the Gotham Genetic collection... I was going batty just putting it all together.....
