I've been seeing a lot of posts from people asking for the "Cinderella Story", so here it is:


In 1997, I discovered a few seeds in a bud of Jack Herer I bought @ "Sensi Smile" coffeeshop in Amsterdam while there to buy seeds. I didn't expect much when I grew them, but one of those seeds from the JH bud produced a very special female that I call "Princess".

Therefore Princess' mother was a Jack Herer (IF we can believe what Sensi Smile printed on the package) and her father is a totally unidentified mystery plant.

I also got 2 more females (Genius & Cafe'Girl) & several males from those seeds. I used pollen from one of the males on a heavy-yielding, dense, resinous ShivaSkunk (from Sensi Seedbank) female, then grew the resulting seeds to get males to produce pollen to cross Princess with, beginning the cubing process.

The first generation of seeds from Princess were called P.50 because they were 50% Princess. I used males from the P.50 generation to back-cross to Princess to get P.75 and again back-crossed with the P.75 pollen to get P.88 and again with the P.88 pollen to get P.94 which is "Cinderella 99", a cubed version of Princess.

The name "Cinderella" was chosen because of the parallels between this story and the well-known fairy tale in which Cinderella becomes a Princess despite her humble beginning. It's also VERY similar to the story of the "Morgan Horse"...go Figure!

Oh hell what is there to say. C99 was a back crossed line, true C99 as my friend Soul made them could and can only be made by crossing third generation males he selected to the original mother [Princess]. Its like a true F1 hybrid it can not be remade from seed, ie without the original genetics its virtually impossible.

While Mr Soul by the time he had got to the fourth gen had fixed some traits as relatively true breeding, it was not a true breeding line, crossing the fourth generation plants [C99] to them selves does not make C99 or anything remotely near, its a totally new recombination, I’ve done it believe me. None of the seeds sold now produce plants anywhere near to what C99 was like, yes they may have some of the traits but are not even close to the original.

Baudelaire [FDM] had a bulk lot of C99 from Mr Soul, they were friends, Baud was going to going to do a breeding and back crossing project with Cinderella with Mr Souls blessing, not sure what happened with Baud but he has gone, I hope he comes back sometime, he is a good breeder.

You can not now buy true C99 seed, only inbred crosses that have been made from C99 plants.

The pack of FDM mix me and Raz had a year ago are still the best seeds we have bought. The last two seeds from it popped a week ago. Praying for females.
