No one has mentioned Brothers Grim yet. Wonder if their "newer" stuff is ok?
How does Cinderella 99 stack up to new sativa strains?

I'm pretty sure I read earlier in the thread their current C99 is very Meh.
I'm looking at FDM now.

I tried running Bros Grimm Cinderella 99 but ended up with a male....however that mail smelt exactly like the Cinderella 99 I had purchased at the time smelt like, which was an absolutely awesome smoke! Definitely gonna give it another try sometime soon

I hope everyone who is reading this thread knows that C99 is a Jack Herer hermie bag seed that Mr. Soul cubed. I wrote this for my journal back in 2018 about buying legal cannabis for the first time in Denver:
"After clearing the security process, I walked up to the counter and explained to the budtender this was my first purchase in over 25 years. I told her I had developed Northern Lights for most of that time and wanted as close to a pure sativa as I could get. She recommended Cinderella 99. Oh for God's sake, that's nothing but a Jack Herer hermie that's been cubed by Mr. Soul. No disrespect to him whatsoever, as I'm familiar with him from the BCGA web forum from the late 90's when he was developing it. But I'd already grown several crops of honest to God Jack Herer from Sensi and didn't think it was anything that special"
Explore this site, and it'll be a deep dive, but you'll read the story of how Mr. Soul developed C99:

Chemdog is also bagseed, as well as many other classic/awesome strains....so I don't see why it comes off like you're trying to downplay c99

That wasn't my intention at all. If you explore the link I provided, and it's a deep dive, you'll see the history of how Mr. Soul developed it. Most don't know what cubing is, which is why I posted the link. For the non-autodidacts who want a direct link:

So I’m trying Canuk Seeds Cinderella 99 outside and is growing great BUT I’ve got a bad case of spider-mites. Gave them a good spray down of soapy water and in 2-3 days I’m gonna spray the again with alcohol/water solution and cross my fingers. Also on 3 other plants outside (N. Lights, Sweet Zombie and Blue Cheese)

I grew it and it was uplifting fire. finished in 61 days. Two phenos out of six girls. all but two had a pineapple smell the other two more mixed ripe fruit smell. All grew tight internodes making them look more like squatty indicas with strong branching. Evidently, you had an issue getting yours to express themselves if it turned into "mids".

IMHO who would know better than the very successful (seed business) original breeder? Rick C. AKA Mr. Soul.

Ya, evidently
Would love to have an update on your Canuk C99’s. I have only found one plant so far that is representative of C99, and that is from a 2005 pack of JW. Have the last 4 seeds of that one started now.

Grimm Brothers has a Cinderella 99 Pineapple that's supposed to be a lot like the earlier version. Curious about grabbing some.
"Cinderella Pineapple XX was created to satisfy all the nostalgic growers and smokers who remember the “original C99” as compared to the current Cinderella XX as being more Sativa dominant and pineapple flavored. Expect frosty, tight buds with foxtails and especially strong pineapple aroma terpenes. Your whole flowering room will smell like a Dole plantation".
Sounds like Pinepple Express to me.

So I took it down like I said and man was she infested with all sorts of bugs from ants, fruit flies, spiders, earwig and other small critters. So I usually throw the buds into my upright TrimPro but decided to wash everyone first. Didn’t wanna squish too many of the bugs into the buds after washing them. Anyways it might be slightly inflated but 914g wet and should finish freeze drying around 6pm tomorrow. Shouldn’t too far off from real weight as I use a salad spinner afterwards to drain away most of the moisture.

Very cool. Really interested in how the freeze drying goes - must really preserve the terps. Thanks for sharing your info.
