Overview
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.

Growing Information
Flowering Time: 8 weeks, Yield: High, Grow Difficulty: Easy to moderate. Cinderella 99 is a moderately easy strain to grow. Its compact and robust plants require basic care, making it accessible for growers of all levels. Yes, Cinderella 99 is considered a good strain for beginners due to its resilience, ease of growth, and relatively short flowering period. Flowering Time: 56 – 63 days – Growing Environment: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. When grown outdoors, harvest time usually falls between late September and early October. This strain can yield an estimated average of 16 ounces per square meter of good and fruity bud. Cindy 99 cultivated outdoors can yield around 35 ounces of bud per plant, and can be expected to be ready for a harvest around late September to early October. Cinderella 99 yields 16 ounces per square meter indoors and 35 ounces or more per plant outdoors. Indoor growers can expect yields ranging from 1.2 to 1.6 ounces per square foot (400-500 grams per square meter). Outdoor plants can produce between 16-32 ounces (450-900 grams) per plant, depending on the growing conditions and care provided. Cinderella 99 is a great option for growing indoors because of its size and stature. It's popular for either hydroponic or soil-based growing, but the strong aromas and flavors are best realized in soil. A consistent climate will help this strain hold onto its flavor. Try to keep it between 68 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain thrives in warm and sunny climates. Indoors, maintaining a daytime temperature between 68°F and 81°F and a slightly lower nighttime temperature is ideal. Relative humidity (RH) should be kept at 55%-60% during the vegetative phase and reduced to around 40% during the flowering phase.
