A few years back I got few ww x c99 seeds from Femaleseeds.nl and really liked it. Because it was my first time grow of that strain I didn't take any clones from her. After harvesting those two plants I tried to get some information on the strain, but was always given rather vague information about it. So after trying to get that same strain of seeds for a few years, I decided to see if I could recreate it with the original WW and C99 strains. I had the WW covered because I have been cloning both male and female WW's from some seeds I got from Arjan in 1996 while in the Netherlands. Then two year ago while in BC, Canada. I was told that their was a guy in Colorado that was breeding the original Mr. Soul's, BG, C99. So after finally getting in touch with that guy, we traded some clones so know I had both strains and begin my breeding. Both those strains were wonderful to grow and I ended up with 19 WW/m X C99/f, females, and 22 WW/f X C99/m, females. Using old school Light Stressing and Silver Thiosulfate those 19/22 females produced 97/134 feminised seeds. This test grow will be using one of each of those seeds WW/m X C99/f, and WW/f X C99/m. The WW/f X C99/m is 3 weeks behind the WW/m X C99/f because WW/f X C99/m females took that much longer to produce the feminised seeds.

Other notes...
I usually light stress the undergrowth of my plants during week 3 and 4 while they are vegging. I have found it creates more bud nodes. For example... the WW/m X C99/f is 3 weeks and a few days in veg, and she already has 28 bud nodes on a plant that is just 7 inches tall. When I put my plants into flower I stop the light stressing, and that results in all those bud nodes exploding into huge buds. I have found doing that results in more mature buds sites as apposed to using topping or LST. Which I believe are in all reality both very high stress techniques. With light stressing you will burn many of your plants fan leaves, but the constant light focused on the bottom of your plant causes the plant to pop bud nodes everywhere because it senses all that light down there. I have done many test grows and have found light stressing the undergrowth creates more bud nodes and more mature buds when the plants go into flowering. Yeah, that's just my opinion, but you will see the proof in the result!
Plants age
WW/m X C99/f = 26 days
WW/f X C99/m = 05 days
