Cinderella 99 -SATIVA-

Cinderella 99 -SATIVA-

Cinderella 99, often shortened to C99 or Cindy, is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid strain. It's famous for delivering a potent, clear-headed high in a surprisingly compact, fast-flowering plant—a combination that has made it a favorite among both growers and consumers.

 

Genetics and History

 

The strain was created by the breeder Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm Seeds. The story is a bit of a fairy tale in itself: Mr. Soul found a couple of seeds in a bud of Jack Herer he purchased in Amsterdam. He grew one of them into a plant he named "Princess" due to its exceptional qualities. He then crossed Princess with a male of the Shiva Skunk strain, and through several generations of back-crossing, he "cubed" the genetics to create the stable, potent, and fast-finishing Cinderella 99.

 

Characteristics

 

  • Classification: Sativa-dominant hybrid, with most sources citing a ratio of around 85% sativa to 15% indica.

  • Appearance: The buds are dense and often have a light green color with vibrant orange hairs. They are famously "frosty," covered in a thick layer of glistening trichomes.

  • Aroma and Flavor: The scent is a powerful and sweet mix of tropical fruits, like pineapple, mango, and papaya, with strong notes of citrus and a subtle, earthy skunkiness from its Shiva Skunk parentage. The flavor is a bright, fruity smoke that is smooth on the exhale.

  • THC Content: Cinderella 99 is known for its high potency, with THC levels commonly ranging from 18% to 25%.

 

Effects

 

As a sativa-dominant strain, Cinderella 99 provides a classic uplifting and energizing high that is perfect for daytime use.

  • Uplifting and Euphoric: The high comes on quickly and powerfully, delivering a strong cerebral buzz that sparks creativity and happiness. Many users describe a sense of dreamy euphoria and an overall positive, sunny mood.

  • Energetic and Clear-headed: It's known for boosting energy and focus, making it a great choice for creative projects, social gatherings, or simply getting through a busy day. It typically doesn't produce the "couch-lock" effect of a heavier indica.

  • Potential Medical Uses: Its effects make it a popular choice for managing symptoms of:

    • Stress

    • Depression and mood disorders

    • Fatigue

    • Chronic pain (due to its analgesic properties and uplifting effects)
