Cindy 99 F4
Also known as: C99 F4, Cinderella 99 F4
Overview
Cindy 99 F4 represents the fourth filial generation of the legendary Cinderella 99 strain, originally bred by Mr. Soul (Rick Campanella) of Brothers Grimm Seeds. This sativa-dominant hybrid emerged from a remarkable origin story beginning in the mid-1990s when Mr. Soul discovered seeds in a Jack Herer bud purchased at an Amsterdam coffee shop. One exceptional female plant, nicknamed 'Princess,' was selected and used in an extensive cubing breeding project that involved crossing Princess with a Shiva Skunk male and subsequent backcrossing through generations P.50, P.75, P.88, and P.94 to create the stable Cinderella 99 line. The F4 designation indicates this is a further refined generation, developed by breeders like Jaws Gear and Kingdom Organic Seeds, representing continued selective breeding for improved stability, potency, and desired characteristics. The strain typically exhibits a sativa-dominant profile (approximately 75% sativa, 25% indica) with medium-height plants that produce dense, resinous buds covered in orange pistils. The flowers emit a distinctive sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of tropical fruits and citrus, with some phenotypes displaying subtle cheese undertones.

Growing Information
Cindy 99 F4 is considered moderately easy to grow, suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (approximately 56-70 days) and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach medium height and are well-suited for techniques like Screen of Green (ScrOG). The strain produces average yields but compensates with high-quality, resinous buds. Outdoor cultivation is possible but requires optimal conditions, with harvest typically occurring in early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The F4 generation may be more susceptible to environmental stresses due to its inbred lineage, requiring clean growing conditions with proper pest and humidity control. Plants prefer warm, sunny climates and benefit from proper nutrition throughout their development cycle.
