Durban-Thai x C99 XX
Also known as: Durban Thai x Cinderella 99 XX, DTxC99XX
Durban-Thai x C99 XX Strain Overview
Durban-Thai x C99 XX is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary sativa lineages: Durban-Thai and Cinderella 99 (C99). The Durban-Thai parent contributes African and Southeast Asian genetics, known for their energetic, clear-headed effects and distinctive anise/licorice terpene profile. The Cinderella 99 parent, itself a hybrid of Jack Herer and other sativa genetics, adds fruity, tropical aromas and a more balanced, yet still uplifting, psychoactive experience. This combination results in a strain that embodies the best qualities of both parent lines while creating something distinct.
The strain typically produces medium-tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are moderately dense and covered in a generous layer of trichomes. The coloration ranges from bright green to lime green with occasional purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils are prominent and contrast sharply against the light background. The aroma profile is complex, blending the spicy, anise notes from the Durban-Thai lineage with the sweet, tropical fruitiness inherited from Cinderella 99.
Durban-Thai x C99 XX is prized by sativa enthusiasts for its cerebral, uplifting effects that provide mental stimulation without excessive anxiety or paranoia. The high THC content (typically 18-24%) makes it potent, but the sativa-dominant terpene profile tends to produce a clear-headed experience. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its creative and social effects, making it popular for daytime use when mental clarity is desired alongside mood enhancement.

Durban-Thai x C99 XX Strain Growing Information
Durban-Thai x C99 XX is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest outdoors in late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and 200-250 cm outdoors, requiring some height management techniques like low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (particularly in dense buds) and providing adequate support during flowering as the buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from a longer vegetative period to maximize yield.
