Cinderella 99

Cinderella 99 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Cinderella 99, also known as "C99," "Cindy," and "Cindy 99," is a sativa-dominant hybrid marijuana strain bred by Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm. According to Mr. Soul, C99 was created using seeds found in a Sensi branded 2 gram package of Jack Herer purchased at an Amsterdam coffee shop. Cinderella 99, often affectionately called "C99" or "Cindy," has a fascinating and somewhat serendipitous origin. Its story begins in the late 1990s when the breeder known as "Mr. Soul" from Brothers Grimm Seeds discovered a few seeds in a Sensi Seeds 2-gram package of Jack Herer purchased from a coffee shop in Amsterdam. Intrigued by the exceptional quality of the buds, he germinated the seeds and began a meticulous breeding project. Through a careful process of backcrossing and phenotype selection over several generations, Mr. Soul stabilized a line that consistently expressed the traits he admired—short flowering time, manageable height, dense buds, and a sweet, fruity aroma. One standout female phenotype, nicknamed "Princess," became the cornerstone of the Cinderella 99 project. First, he paired a Princess female with a Shiva Skunk male to add plant strength and used a triple backcrossing method called "cubing" to create the parent strain Cinderella 88. Finally, he bred Cinderella 88 with Princess once more to achieve what breeders call the Holy Grail of Hybrids — Cinderella 99. The resulting strain is 85% sativa and 15% indica, making it well-known for its energetic, euphoric effects and high THC content. Cinderella 99 is best known for her potent cerebral high, sweet fruity flavors, and epic yields. C99 is particularly renowned for its ability to deliver sativa-like effects with an impressively fast flowering time (usually 7–9 weeks), which is rare for sativa-dominant strains. This makes it a favorite among both indoor growers and those seeking a potent, creative, and clear-headed high without the long wait.
