Cindy 99
Also known as: C99, Cinderella 99
What is the Cindy 99 strain?
Cindy 99 is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and floral flavor profile.
Cindy 99, often abbreviated as C99, is a highly regarded sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Brothers Grimm Seeds in the late 1990s. The strain was created through a selective breeding program that crossed a Princess phenotype (itself a cross of Jack Herer and an unknown Haze hybrid) with a male Shiva Skunk. Breeder Mr. Soul spent years stabilizing the genetics, aiming to create a fast-flowering sativa with exceptional potency and flavor. The strain gained legendary status in the cannabis community for its cerebral effects and tropical fruit aromas, becoming a favorite among both recreational users and breeders seeking to incorporate its desirable traits into other genetics.
Cindy 99 plants typically display a classic sativa structure with long, slender branches and narrow leaves, though they maintain a relatively compact size compared to pure sativa varieties. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying vibrant orange pistils against a backdrop of lime green calyxes. A heavy coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain is particularly noted for its sweet, fruity aroma with distinct pineapple and citrus notes, sometimes accompanied by subtle floral undertones. These aromatic qualities make it easily distinguishable from many other cannabis varieties.
One of Cindy 99's most notable characteristics is its relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks, which is unusually fast for a sativa-dominant strain. This trait, combined with its potent effects and desirable flavor profile, has made it a popular choice for both commercial growers and home cultivators. The strain has been used extensively in breeding programs, contributing genetics to numerous modern hybrids. While original Brothers Grimm seeds became difficult to obtain for a period, the strain has been preserved and propagated by various seed banks and breeders, ensuring its continued availability to cannabis enthusiasts.
