Dreamy and euphoric, Cinderella 99 makes it feel as if you’ve landed in a fairytale…
A breed that was perfected over multiple generations of genetic selection, Cinderella 99 cannabis came into fruition by Mr. Soul at Brother’s Grimm. This beautiful lady is known by plenty of nicknames, including C99 and Cindy.
Legend has it that Mr. Soul discovered the parent seeds of Cindy inside an Amsterdam-purchased Sensi Seeds package of Jack Herer, and it took more than three generations of crossbreeding to get the combination ideal.
High Times Magazine included Cinderella 99 as one of the contenders for their “Top Ten Strains of 2009” list, evidence as to just how brilliant and out of this world C99 is.
“Cindy” is known for her fruity and pungent flavor, short and indoor-growing friendly plant shape, insanely high yields, potent and long-lasting high and dreamy high that can send consumers into a whole new world of pumpkin carriages, prince charmings, fairy Godmothers and clocks that strike at midnight.
What Is the Cinderella 99 Marijuana Strain?
The long-spanning genetic love child of Jack Herer (a classic sativa) and Shiva Skunk (a potent indica), Cinderella 99 weed is classified as a sativa-dominant hybrid strain with a roughly 85% sativa, 15% indica ratio.
This marijuana strain has an exceptionally high THC content, meaning that just a little bit can go a very long way, ranking in at 29-31% in conducted lab test results. Its effects typically take around 15 full minutes to begin creeping upon the body and mind, but once they hit full force, they’ll keep going powerfully for a full 90-100 minutes.
Cinderella 99 Strain Review: Aroma, Flavor and Appearance
In addition to some of its effects, the Cinderella 99 strain is also widely recognized for its brilliant and original flavor and scent profile, which hits the senses in a unique manner.
The aroma of this cannabis seems to stain any room it is in, staying long after the strain has physically left.
Although Cinderella 99 is especially skunky, it also reeks immediately of citrusy fruits and pine.
Some say it is reminiscent of pineapple fields, aromatic and sweet just before harvest. Cindy is immensely sugary in smell, as well as taste. The flavor profile mimics what can be expected just by smelling these buds, but takes the complexity a step further.
It starts out by oozing fruit and citrus scents, blended by earth and pungence. Sweetness overwhelms the taste buds right away, and Cinderella 99 is almost as if a tropical citrus candy was placed into the mouth. The smoke itself is smooth and hits the throat gently, so do not expect to cough a lung out or feel any burning afterwards.
Appearance-wise, the entire crop has a short stature, which is partially why it has become preferable for indoors cultivators. The buds themselves are dense and rich, plus extremely sticky, requiring a sharp grinder or scissors to break apart, otherwise you will end up with resinous fingers.
They are light to medium green in color, with plenty of brassy orange tiny hairs, known as pistils,
curling and twisting amongst the sugar leaves. The term sugar leaves is not an over-exaggeration either, for they are thickly coated with a layer of crystals that mimic the first frost of the season and glisten brightly when placed underneath the light.
