It's looking great. I'm real interested in the zoids. I talked to you about them on ICMag as "Vicious Bee".

Awesome pic Donald, Have you ever run this strain indoors? It looks like it would do quite well.

hey doobz ,, thanks man ,,
yes moonunit has been testing them indoors while ive been doing the outdoor tests , theres a .bunch of variation in this lot with them being f2 s , plan was to narrow them down to the more pleasing types , im pretty sure myself and moon are agreeable on the direction to head , which is to maintain the sativa high and png flavours as much as we can while also making them manageable for indoor growers ..
We planned to take it 2 directions , a more sativa dominant variety and a c99 leaning type .
Mr moon can fill you in with anything ive left out .

You can be sure there will be something of that nature squiggles , i notice more how many folks are becoming sativa lovers , the challange they present to some also seems to be a driving force to want to grow them , i too am a long season sativa lover , no reason to explain why ,, we all know well ...
Hi don m8, you pretty well covered it.
Hi Doobz, the z99 does well indoors indeed, although it throws a few plants that can get weird if they get to close to indoor lighting, and a few that never want to finish unless the light is lifted way high away from them. There have been some dam fine and massive yielders amongst this gen, and as don mentioned the line will be split into two lines from the f2 creating two f3s heading in different directions.
Hi Squiggles m8, no worries on some dedicated outdoor long flower sats, they are definately on the cards, as they are my preference too
much respect

Personally i think the lighting these days is leaning toward being better for the more indica dominant hybrids and less for the sativa leaning attributes ..
I grew quite a few pure sativas indoors in the early days with very pleasing results, more so than i see on the pics these days , i used metal halide lighting , and have done since with sativa dominant genetics , with better results than under hps , the difference was very measurable ..
Id love to be able to replicate the tropics indoors , but the major set back i see is the fact indoors is styfling , lack of circulation to be able to get the heat and humidity that tropical growing does ,
in the tropics , cannabis can be harvested when temperatures are extremely high , uv s are off the dial , a far cry from temperate climates where the finish is hampered by cold temperatures and a declining season , ...
however onward we go and try to learn what we can from the problems that present themselves along the way , its a bumpy road sometimes ,...

Hi don m8, on the lighting you are absolutely right. Its geared for the 8 week indoor indica dom hybrid shows and not so much the sativa lover. Having grown lot of sats indoors i must say i also agree on the metal halides, they are just better for indoor sats imho, but as most indoors growers use hps, we must stress test with em also. Good growers can do well with hps also, but it could be so much better
My dream is computer controled lighting, that can be programmed to replicate specific light conditions from outdoor hotspots around the world. Imagine a little sensor box that could be placed at a location, taking light readings and messurements of all sorts over a period of time, a small flash memeory card could be popped out of it and into the lighting control computer and bam, replication of the lighting in the area the sensor box was located. If one wanted to grow collumbians, one could download or obtain a data set for the columbian enviroment the genetics come from, and then replicate it as best as possible indoors.
Hell seed suppliers could send lighting setting data flash drives with seed purchases, with lighting settings for the seedlines one is buying on the flash drive.
Until then imho we can only do our best to catch up to mother nature
much respect
