Perhaps, or maybe it's the camera? I do see quite a few calyx starting to swell up and just going over it with the digital microscope, the trichs are about 40% cloudy, 5% amber and 55% clear. That's just a quick estimate based on the 10 different buds I checked over.

Maybe it's something noteable about this strain? Perhaps it's one of those that just burst into life on the last week or so(at least I am hoping so). It's got a short flowering time according to the breeder(Female Seeds) but I do know to that you must take that info with a pinch of salt, add 1-3 weeks onto their stated flowering time from what I've read.

I understand that, however, this particular C99 is a fast flowering one, it's been crossed with an auto flowering strain. Many will testify to it's authenticity as a fast flowering Sativa.

The following is taken from the breeders website.

The C’99 is the holy grail of the cannabis strains. As she resembles the high and the taste of an exceptional sweet landrace sativa, which normally takes half a year to flower. But the C99 flowers in 7 - 8 weeks. On top of that the buds are quite sugared.
This new batch is a cross of two exceptional basic pheno types, the Grapefruit and the Pineapple. Both derived from the original Brothers Grimm C99
It matures in 4 weeks from seed, which is much faster than the original C99. (6 - 8 weeks)
One not to miss!

Developed out of a Cindy 99, bred with an autoflowering Sativa for some generations. Selected on it’s strong Grapefruit / Pineapple smell. She is a semi-autoflowering strain, which will flower under 24hrs in low light conditions. A highly praised strain and very popular for years. Recognised for it’s pleasurable happy high, just like the old school sativa landraces. Only the flowering period of the Grapefruit is 8 weeks instead of half a year. This new style sativa is early maturing, fast flowering and maximum yielding. Buds have a soft smell of grapefruit, sweet taste and intense tropical high. Stabilised on early maturity for some generations now.

I don't mean to sound arrogant when saying this, but I'd rather go with what the official breeder is saying, as well as a respected seedbank, rather than someone on a forum. I'm sure you'd usually be right and it's still possible you might be, but I think in this case you're wrong. As I said, I don't mean to be a dick about it or anything, just don't really know how to word it without making myself look like a dick.

Hsfkush... in my humble opinion that plant has at least 4 more weeks on her. I'd say more like 6 as SV says.

And a tip on not sounding like a dick. Instead of writing that long post about how you disagree, just say "Thanks for the input". You did ask for input after all, i mean why ask if you just want to go with what the breeder says?

Besides what the "breeder" says... It will be ready when she is ready.. Not when "they" say it is ready.

I wasn't arguing with him, besides, if you read my post in full, I said I understand that breeder flowering time is usually different to what it actually is. This is why I was so surprised when he said 6 weeks extra, as it had already been 7 weeks and I was expecting more 2-4 weeks. Just stating why I was questioning the 6 weeks left.

Besides, he may not have been familiar with the strain and not know that it was known to be a fast flowering sativa.

You see I'm not the kind of person who just says "I think you're wrong" I like to at least explain why I think people are wrong, backing it up with as much evidence as I can, then see if they can counter it in the same manner. This is just making sure that I'm not being mugged off by some random spanner who's only just planted his first seed, then claims to be an expert in the field, that is all.

Too many times you see people posting tips and tricks when they've no actual anecdote to go by. That's not to say that either you or Serial are pretenders or just random idiots trying to make themselves look better, I'm sure you genuinely know your stuff and can provide good advice.

Sometimes they just outright lie,
Tangerine dream by Barneys Farm is a perfect example, it's claimed to be 10 week strain lol

Even the most experienced of gardeners are looking at 12 week minimum, usually more like 15+ though and even then it's not fully ripe.

Good point. The breeders tend to use the most optimal conditions so you can expect around a week later.
