Yea I plan to do only one flush and that's during the last week of flower right before harvest. I also keep track of the ppm in the runoff and adjust my feed solution accordingly

I'm a little confused how you can be planning to go from sprout to harvest in 8 weeks? No veg time?

no veg tiem on Cindy is a waste of Cindy beans IMHO ... she really benefits from a long veg ... no veg = shitty yields
id veg em for at least 25 days...thats when my reg beans start to presex in veg...but even thats kinda low ... 6 weeks is a good veg time for these

According to this link, https://www.autoflower.net/forums/f24/female-seeds-c99-harvest-day-5930.html
That grower had a substantial yield of this exact strain, chopping at 60 days. That's all I want before 4/20. I also forgot to add to my schedule, I am taking 2 cuttings to clone off this mother plant at week 4 and then I will wait a week before putting her in flower. I'll take my time vegging the clones for a REAL yield with my new equipment (Tent, HPS, Odor control).
I'm trying CNS17 because I already used PBP for my last chop and I have them left over. I heard PBP supplements CNS17 a little better. I'm only using old bottles of PBP. No big deal. Beats chucking them out.
I'm vegging for at least 30 days. I will chop in April. Then like I said, focusing on the clones.

ive ran alota of C99 , and yes its way better off run as a clone...the older yur mother gets the better the cuts get to.
cns17 is a comercial grade nute that is more diluted , its not very good in comparison to the PbP... i dunno who told you it would supplement it but thats just not true. They are both stand alone nutes. using both would be a bad idea

I'm not planning on aging a mother though. At least not yet. Just a cycle of taking cuttings from the first plant, putting mother into flowering, vegging clones and taking cuttings when they are matured...and so on. That should be fine right? I tried looking around but haven't seen it done in any threads.
I was doing some research and saw some growers use the combination of CNS17 and PBP. They had no problems. I'll try CNS17 for now because I had an O.K run with PBP last year.
One prob from last year though, the roots didn't even reach the bottom or sides of the air pot. Is that because I watered too frequently? It's a 2.4 gal air pot with coco. What watering schedule would you recommend?

I would recommend H&G Roots Excellerator
I got rootbound plants in 2 gallon coco pots day 50 of veg
I'm not trying to tell anyone to switch to H&G, but two of their products are really good, and can be used with any other nutrient line. Drip Clean and Roots Excellerator. If I switch from H&G I will still always use those two additives. RE is expensive so use it only in veg when you are trying to grow roots, and stop using in flower to save alot of money. Use drip clean througout, its cheap since its so concentrated

GOOD weed. lol
jigga - I have found that in this hobby, there are a lot of gadgets and supplements that a lot of people get all hyped up about. Some work, some dont, and some just arent used right. Most of them are expensive. its up to you to research the hell out of it. I will say, most root enhancers or things like that are expensive but happy roots = nice buds!

Awesome....I was wondering if anyone else does this....
This is what I have been doing also...
The way I see it is this: WHY HAVE A MOTHER WHEN you can just veg plant (A), cut clones before flowering, then cut from the clones when the babies are vegged enough?
Seems like the best option to me....

Profile pictures can also be misleading!....
Anyway, the fun part hasn't really started yet... I'll estimate the first yield to be around 2-3 ounces in april, then I'll be focusing on clones with the new upgrades. Planning on getting a 400w Digital Ballast HPS wide reflector cooltube and a 2x2x5.25' tent. Might even switch to DWC. Still doing research on hydro...
Midamber- I'm glad I'm not alone with this cycle. It definitely seems like the best option because the pros outweigh the cons as opposed to aging a mother. Right? Continuous cycle and a harvest every 4-6 weeks. Sounds amazing to me. As long as the clones survive... Has it been working well for you? I need to learn to top the mother plants so it grows more shoots! But I heard taking cuttings from the bottom is the best way to do it...
I'll get more pictures every other day or so when they look worth taking. Who wants to see redundant seedling pics anyway?

ROFL, yeah.....good call, but if you make a bubble cloner and get good at cloning it should be a breeze....I just did my first clones and had 1/2 survive...lol, I know, i know, I should have taken more clones but I did not have the resources at the time.
So far so good.....I took a clone from my current "mystery strain" and I have a healthy clone of it in my veg area right now...seems like the best option for me!
Yeah, what I do is fim once, then lst for a bit to get more and more tops.....always seems to work out well, (with the strains that I have grown with)
....anywho, have a great night man....check by my grow if you want....I just updated.

It's either going to be a bubble cloner or 2oz cups of coco coir in a cake tray for humidity. I can't decide yet.. lol. I'm also still debating on using Schultz rooting hormone or Clonex. Some growers are biased towards powder and some to gel. It's hard to decide which to try first. I don't think cindy99 does well with LST. I'm still trying to figure that out... But according to a brothers grimm readup I did... She yields better by just letting her go naturally. -shrug- I still want to look into Fimming.

No prob lol. I chose this strain because it's one of the best in terms of low to no odor. Apparently, it smells like tropical fruit/pineapple during flowering as opposed to a musky skunk stench. Not opposed. Seems like something to take advantage of.. We'll see how the first run goes. I hope I can do something to increase yield rather than let her go naturally. I like experimenting.. lmao. Makes it more exciting.. But it needs an incentive.
