Durban x C99
Also known as: Durban Poison x Cinderella 99, Durban C99
Durban x C99 Strain Overview
Durban x C99 is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary sativa cultivars: Durban Poison and Cinderella 99. This cross combines the energetic, clear-headed effects of Durban Poison with the potent, euphoric qualities of Cinderella 99, resulting in a strain prized for its cerebral stimulation and creative enhancement. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a sativa with both exceptional potency and manageable flowering time.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are dense and resinous. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The aroma profile is complex, blending sweet, fruity notes from the Cinderella 99 lineage with the distinctive anise and licorice undertones characteristic of Durban Poison.
Durban x C99 is known for its relatively fast flowering time compared to pure sativa varieties, typically finishing in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. The strain maintains the sativa growth pattern with tall, lanky plants that require some height management in indoor settings. While not as common as some commercial hybrids, Durban x C99 has developed a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced yet potent effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Durban x C99 Strain Growing Information
Durban x C99 is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and can be harvested in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields are typically moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The plants prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires height management as plants can stretch significantly during the flowering phase. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to control height and improve light penetration. Plants are generally resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation.
