the WC with the curved stem is showing my least favorite characteristics from C-99...... the other one is showing just the right ones, but a bit too much WW for my taste.... Im hoping the mother I chose falls right in between with the acceptation that she demonstrates the qualities of C-99 that I like, rather than dislike.....
Curved Stem WC phenos:
calyxes are large, but look "Odd" when they first come out, no resin until calyxes are three plus weeks old, there are large gaps between the calyxes themselves (some gaps may fill in others may not, we will see), bud sites are few and far between (but the buds themselves are of a decent size), her pistils are too long and thick for my liking, she has white pistils instead of the pretty pink that I like so much (from C-99), the plant itself is sensitive to ph, but sucks up nutes, causing a couple of these different traits, she does not react well to wind (unlike the C-99 plants that I grew in the past)
Strait Stem WC FIM'ed (three main tops):
Calyxes are slightly smaller than that of her sister, but come in more densely, pistils are still long, but skinnier (which I like), lots of bud sites, reacts well to nutes and ph shifts, vigorous and quick to flower, smells dank, lower leaf to calyx ratio, starts triching up just before two weeks of age per calyx (which is nothing compared to the instant trich delevopment on the CC and Twilight), the buds themselves are smaller slightly, but worth it for the extra quality, she will be a heavier yielder and better buds IMO (prediction)
