"The Holy Grail" is what most seed sites describe the Female Seeds C99. I'm guessing that's because typical landrace sativa type strains often have an incredibly long flowering period, such that some climates like mine may not be able to grow them to completion outdoors and takes a long time indoors. But this cross of C99 has mastered a much shorter projected flowering time of 7-8 weeks which is amazing and totally do-able inside or out here. As for other aspects making it the holy grail...I'll watch throughout the grow for other interesting things. Both seeds soaked in some Green Buzz Humic Acid water for a few hours before going into the paper towels. I'm not sure if it did much since the seeds took a few days to pop...but they're also not extremely old seeds as far as I know, but maybe it gave them a strength coating or something. Not much action in this first week. About 3 days to put out their roots. Then after being put into soil cups with some Plant Success soluble mycorrhizal fungi product only one plant sprouted....the 2nd while having a longer root has still not broken the surface. So far, 7 days 1 out of 2 is kicking and making moves. Wish them luck. ✌️

Has anyone tried that Schwazzing method on here? (Extreme defoliation right at flower). Successfully or unsuccessfully. Any tips if so?

Hey dude - I grow a Sativa and although she's way less bushy than yours, I still defoliate/prune to ensure all leaves get equal exposure to light. As said in another answer, leaves are like solar panels, and those getting minimal lighting or living under the shade of other leaves are basically draining more energy than they produce, whereas fully exposed leaves can produce energy at optimal levels thus offsetting the energy cost. A solar panel in the shade is useless. Also, more leaves = more energy consumed, energy that's not going into growing buds. For example, when you clone, the reason you cut half of each leaf's fingers is to reduce the cost in energy consumption from the leaves, slow down the pace at which the plant processes the remaining nutrients in the stem, and focus the remaining energy instead on root growth vs upward growth. When I prune & defoliate, I basically reduce the plant's maintenance cost from leaves, so that the saved energy goes into buds, and I only get rid of buds or leaves that receive minimal light. In flowering, I've pruned dwarf budsites that would never grow more because completely underexposed. Hope this helps.
