Cinderella
Also known as: Cinderella 99, C99
Cinderella Strain Overview
Cinderella, more commonly known as Cinderella 99 or C99, is a highly regarded sativa-dominant hybrid strain developed by the legendary breeder Brothers Grimm. The strain was created in the late 1990s through a selective breeding program that aimed to produce a fast-flowering, high-potency sativa with exceptional flavor and effect profiles. The name references the fairy tale character, suggesting a 'magical' transformation in its effects, though some sources indicate it was named after a specific phenotype discovered during the breeding process.
Cinderella 99 is celebrated for its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, conical buds with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's aroma is complex and fruity, often described as a blend of tropical fruits, citrus, and subtle floral notes with a hint of spice. Its flavor profile delivers on the aromatic promise, offering a smooth smoke with sweet, fruity undertones that many users find particularly enjoyable.
Notable characteristics of Cinderella 99 include its relatively short flowering time for a sativa-dominant strain (typically 7-9 weeks) and its cerebral, uplifting effects that are often described as clear-headed and energetic without causing anxiety or paranoia. The strain has gained a cult following among cannabis enthusiasts and has been used extensively in breeding programs to create other popular strains, contributing to its lasting legacy in the cannabis community.

Cinderella Strain Growing Information
Cinderella 99 is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks, which is fast for a sativa-dominant strain. The plants typically reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) and produce moderate to high yields of dense, resinous buds. C99 grows well both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity conditions.
