Northern Lights x Cinderella 99
Also known as: NL x C99, Northern Lights Cinderella, Northern Cinderella
Northern Lights x Cinderella 99 Strain Overview
Northern Lights x Cinderella 99 is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: the indica-dominant Northern Lights and the sativa-dominant Cinderella 99. This cross combines the best traits of both lineages, resulting in a balanced hybrid that offers both physical relaxation and cerebral stimulation. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a plant with Northern Lights' resin production and Cinderella 99's fruity terpene profile and flowering speed.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a mix of dark green and purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes. The flowers exhibit a complex aroma profile that blends Northern Lights' earthy, pine notes with Cinderella 99's tropical fruit and citrus characteristics. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate height, inheriting some of Northern Lights' compact growth pattern while maintaining Cinderella 99's vigor.
Northern Lights x Cinderella 99 has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and relatively short flowering time. The strain represents a successful fusion of classic genetics, offering the reliability of Northern Lights with the uplifting qualities of Cinderella 99. While not as widely available as its parent strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique combination of traits.
