Cinderella 99
Cinderella 99
Cinderella 99, commonly known as C99 or "Cindy," is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid (roughly 85% Sativa / 15% Indica) celebrated for its potent cerebral effects and unusually fast flowering time. Bred by Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm Seeds, it is often called the "Poor Man's Sativa" because it offers a soaring high typical of landrace sativas but finishes in a fraction of the time.
Genetic Lineage
The strain has one of the most famous backstories in cannabis history. Mr. Soul discovered seeds in a 2-gram package of Sensi Seeds Jack Herer in Amsterdam. From these, he selected a standout female phenotype called "Princess" and backcrossed it over several generations (P.50, P.75, etc.) using a "cubing" method with Shiva Skunk to stabilize its traits.
Effects & Usage
C99 is a quintessential daytime strain known for a "dreamy" yet productive high.
- Mental: Immediate cerebral rush, increased focus, creativity, and euphoria.
- Physical: Light body relaxation without the "couch-lock" or sedation common in hybrids.
- Medical: Frequently used to manage stress, fatigue, and mild depression.
- Caution: Due to its "speedy" nature, higher doses may cause anxiety or racy thoughts in users sensitive to sativas.
Flavor & Aroma Profile
Unlike earthy sativas, C99 is prized for its bright, tropical fruit profile.
- Scent: Pungent aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, and sweet citrus.
- Taste: A sweet and tangy flavor often compared to tropical candy or overripe figs.
- Dominant Terpenes: Limonene (citrus/uplifting), Myrcene (earthy/relaxing), and Caryophyllene (spicy).
Growing Information
Cinderella 99 is a "holy grail" for indoor growers because it behaves like an Indica in the grow room but smokes like a Sativa.
- Flowering Time: Remarkably short, typically 7 to 9 weeks.
- Structure: Stays compact and bushy (usually 3–4 feet indoors), making it ideal for tents or small spaces.
- Yield: Moderate to high (up to 600g/m² indoors), responding exceptionally well to techniques like ScrOG (Screen of Green) or topping.
