I grew out the female seed x-line and half of them went hermie which is funny as c99 is supposed to be very hard to herm.

hi all i grew 4 NL female seeds C99 lost 1 seed from the Xline , 3 went auto flower still have 1 mum good high fast plant.

O`Eirren

femaleseeds grapefruit has a c99 pheno if you cant find any c99 , their grapefruit is a c99 cross and is very similar to c99 , the grapefruit chucks out 2 or 3 phenos ,one of which looks,smells,tastes and has the potency and same high as the c99 , so if ya having probs finding c99 theres always that option

i dont think cindys been given a far go by many here cause for one thing theres cindy and then theres cindy so many differant types out there almost none are the real deal IMHO.
few have tried dr souls orginal to comment here. and theres been no comments here about joey weeds strain for me the best around.theres been lots of comment on willie nelson saying its better a great strain sure but that takes twice as long to flower so it should be good.

my personal fav is the JW AK-99 cross its simply amazing and blows everything out the water around 52 days these plants can get huge frosty colas to boot and work best as SOG single cola setup.
but can also work well as bushy plant 2 thanks to the AK side. the tatse and stone on this strain is simply amazing to.
highly recomended w/out a doubt.

mmm, interesting thread, thanks for the comments to all.

I have some C99 on the go at the moment from a fem clone passed from a friend, no idea what pheno but it looks a sturdy healthy lady. I kept a mum going just in case she is a keeper

well I have some Mr Souls original but S1's from a keeper and have 2 on the go ATM.

I have grown F'5s which were ok but not a lot of vigour, I have also grown some C99*panama red which was pretty anxious stuf

...i can well imagine snadge!!

ive done spice bros c99 F2s a couple of times and she makes me really anxious for the first 10 mins of the ride , so adding summat like panama red to the mix sounds frightening!!!!...but in a good way

I love this thread. I love that there are actually people who care as much as I do about preserving this legendary strain.

And a legendary strain i hope is what it be remebered for rain? anyone remember the overgrow strain guide?
theres no way C99 was just hype, C99 got more comments than any other strain listed there, and thats saying something! simply by people motivated to comment on Mr souls strain cause they liked it so much.
you can hype something but not that extent, in the end if somethings that good the word gets out.
inclosed is a picture of so quicks amazing C99xAK-99 cherry pheno cutting. taken at around 54 days. never got mine quite this big but they still got huge!!
but i knew from the moment i saw it, this it was the indoor strain for me. love at first sight.
by the way JW will have some more C99 in stock from late july for anyone looking? sold out now.i know you cant buy it here right now. red

thats an awsome looking plant!! i was abit concerned about ordering overseas and sending a postal order, did it work out ok?

Of course we should all buy here and support this great site. but in the event of seeds being out of stock or not being stocked? ive had no problems myself and recently i had them sent to SE Asia a real shitty place for post. took about 4-6 weeks though to get here. the UK would be much faster though.
the price is great at around 25 quid plus 5 for post, for 10 [great germ rate.] so worth the risk.
might need 20 to find a cherry pheno though. growth wise there very standard makes it easy.
awsome body and head f**k.
as always if you dont have a safe addy dont order! as my mate found out customs do follow up sometimes.
i talked to joey before CW was closed and he said he wanted an outlet in europe, but i guess the way there selling he dont need it.
he added he has nothing to do with the nottingham seed bank here dispite there claim.
wally duck seems to have great and tasty C99 thats grown organic in the tropics . And has had very good reviews and is one of his personal faves, but its almost always sold out. check his sub forum for news on that.
good luck. red

I'm growing C99 from a pack of Spice Bros f2's. It was the last from a pack of which most I gave away to a friend who likes to play around with a few genetics.......I think it is a very interesting plant to say the least.

The pheno I have is certainly smokeable anywhere from 45 days......I usually let it go 52/53 days.
Very, very resinous buds.
The high I find energetic, but smoke a lot of it and you'll find yourself yawning away.
The smell is also very unusual......smells like mixed fruit when growing and has hardly any smell when first drying.

I'm sprutting FD Pure seeds in the next few days to make a cross from it as I'd like to preserve the genetics in some way.

Redbeard....Liked your post. That's exactly why I picked up a pack of C99s (for the high price) back in 99ish from Rich at HS and was so careful to preserve them well....I was an avid reader of OG and you could tell what was hype and what wasn't by who said it and what vested interest they had in the outcome of their post...C99 was not hype and even Soul's detractors praised it period. Soul's operation was not big enough and he wasn't crooked enough to produce one line for the who's who and another for commercial. The problem is that all of these incarnations, including FDMs, although good, are not C99. Only HS and BG back in that first year or two are the real deal. Add to the"dutchification" or indicafication degradation of the strain all the F3,4,5+ and you get lack of vigor, potency...I don't care who says you can go beyond F2,3 and still get the real deal...impossible IMHO. Best. Time (6 mos or so) will tell since the proof is always in the putting

Got any pics of Cinderella 99 or cool stories or past experiences with it?

My real C99 is at day 50 now & looking so frosty, not as huge as some can grow but just as frosty

I really hope you get to see this post soon.

Post up a few close-up pics if you can and some pics of the plants. Cinderella 99 is one of those strains that actually has some beneficial qualities to it when it's harvested earlier rather than later. More trippy affects. Harvest it once the trichomes get milky white, no later.

looks like the joey weed c99 is not coming back into stock either?

What i will add to this thread is that i gotta smoke this strain and much appreciation for oldtimer for letting us to be able to use/grow this strain.

It is. They just say that. Be available sometime in several months. Beta checking F2's

No.

Although I posted some earlier veg pics at icmag. I'll probably snap some shots later. But Rainman, you seem to know some details of Joeys C99 F2s. I've read some positive things about these F2's in the past. They seem (or seemed to have been before they went out of stock) the closest thing that anybody could get to C99 in seed. I've also read that the last run (about a year ago) had some issues -- Is this the reason for the "Beta" run? Also, why has he been out so long after the last run?

Also, Rainman...Are you the one doing a Beta grow or are you referring to Joey doing a Beta grow...Your post was unclear. If you are doing a Beta on these, please post some pictures when they are vegging so that we can do a comparison.

I just can't figure out why a beta run is needed for an F2 of a relatively true breeding strain, especially when Joey has been selling these F2's before. I hope I'm proved wrong here, but I have to wonder if Joey lost the parentage he had before, hence the beta run. Although my feeling is that he would label any F3's as F3 since he's been strait forward in labeling his seeds F2's before.

Sorry I don't have any "cool stories" for you Rainman

liked your post to CINDY 99, well said and put to, thats so true.
i really believe the real cindy was one of the best indoors there is around 50days IMHO, a lot of good strains today take 9-10 weeks and as a grower i dont like that amount of time.
if your going to spend that long why not grow willie nelson or something to really blow your tits off? or the purple pure sativa that i got that grow in 12 wks flower. no vege. i dont want grow a mid range either its short or long for me.
and theres no better short flowering plant than cindy or joeys ak-99 just over 50 days from the cutting!

this is the latest joeys weeds C99 ~ Joey Weed Cinderella 99 ~ Unknown return ~10 sold out.
seems like joeys got such a good rep and being only a small breader things these days are selling out fast.
i will contact brad at HD to find out the score? and report back here id know myself. but im glad iv stocked up now.
maybe hes taking a break?
this is sadly the only source these days thanks to the DEA ~ H.S raids before.

just had this reply from brad in only 10 hrs! well done!!
Hey Red,
Demand for Joey's strains has caused a run out. Joey is frantically
working on more.
The Ak99 will be back in a week or so. The C99 and the others
marked unknown return, should be back by year end, so Joey tells us.
Peace,
Brad

Joey is doing the beta grow. It's just routine with Joey Weed. He wouldn't release it without a test run. Expect them in several months.

c99 was a jack herer phono that's a fact so if everyone wants to find c99 then get growing jack herer sensi seeds original tho I'm doing 9 diffrent phonos at the min she is out there somewhere to be honest I'm almost there with it happy safe growing peeps .....

I second that ... It was ment to be may etc ..so dont hold your breath

By whom m8? I find it a lovely smoke, perfect hard nuggets & a resiliant plant indeed. A fav of mine atm

C99 was my first proper grow with everything running right and i loved her. Easy to grow, lovely taste, nice uplifting high, cloned really easy.

I got a real sense of achievement with my C99 grow, after ballsing up previous grows, renewed my faith in my limited gardening skills.

I still have some Grimm 99 from the CSC waiting to go, they were a little shorter in growth than the FDM, and finished a bit quicker too.

If i can talk the Mrs into letting me pop some beans the Grimm 99 will def be in there.

Bing.

Joey Weed is still out of stock aswell and has been for a month or so, right around the time I started looking for a heady/sativa type high too...

HD had them in. both joeys c-99 and ak-99 both sold out like that! so fast i missed out to,might be another 3-4 months at most i was told.
seems people know a good thing!!

i got some actual cinderella 99 by actual seeds, they only have 2 strains for sale and my bank charged me an extra 8 quid for the money order, so cost 58 in total i think. not gonna be able to start another grow for a while, but might plant a few outs9ide this year. apparently they are great for outside..,.. i hope these can compare to the originals, they seem like a legend to be grown atleast once....

good luck on that guy. havnt heard of that one yet?

[SPAM REMOVED]

F4 since the Bros. G. source; very uniform and has never been
hybridized. Multiple females and males were used to create this C99 line. This Cinderella 99 differs slightly in a couple
of good ways from the original stock. Her yields are a bit more
substantial than most C99 I see around. She also has a good tendency to get pretty purple with cooler flowering temps at night. Her fragrances are like over ripe tropical fruit and very pungent. Her flavors are similar, very impressive. Resin production is very high and she ends up covered with crystals completely.
You will find approximatley 1 in 16 females that will be a little stretchier with smaller yields and her cola formations will be a bit elongated. This phenotype has a more citrus fruit aroma to her and is also off the chain with resin production. In my opinion a real keeper, especially for the connoisseur.
High-type is edgy, with a decent body thump to her as well, very powerful and intense. Those of you who love that edgy sativa side will love this one for sure.
She does not like humidity too high especially in flowering and I
would make sure you stay below 50% relative humidity; and I
wouldn’t recommend this strain for outdoors either, unless you live in a nice dry locale.
Yields: average

Indoor flowering 50-56 days indoors

just thought id update.

Nice update, thanks Red. I got some of Joey's C99 last run. At the moment I've got 3 or 4 seed plants flowering, I'll try and get some pictures up when they are finished if anyone is interested.

hiya,
i think joeys stuff is the best, but have heard of the REV from way back, just havnt tired growin his stuff yet.
hey good luck on the JW grow, id love to see the pics myself!
PM me a link if you can find time so i dont miss them pls.

Hi,

These are 4 Joey weed C99 seed plants, mistreated to hell, I always do this to my soil 'test' plants. If they survive everything I can chuck at them without any real problems or hermi issues then they make the cut. Usually I can tell by doing this which ones will make good mums and only end keeping a couple of potential mothers to run cuts from in hydro, but these 4, even though they are from seed are very uniform, almost clone like so I will be running them all in hydro for further testing.

These are down and trimmed and at the moment from looks, smell, quantity and ease of trimming one is the forerunner but the real judgment will be delayed until after the smoke test when cured.

I've not smoked real cindy before so not sure what to expect but already they have a distinct pineapple, citrus(y) pine forest(y) pungent aroma and are some of the most crystalline and compact buds I have had on my 'test' plants, really excited to see how these do when grown properly.

Nice! What happened to pheno C then drgthumb??

Any chance of a smoke report?
Was gonna try the Joey one or maybe femaleseeds version when they get them back in...

Pheno C was a boy mate haven't got the space for a breeding project

very nice to see some C99 again here Dr looks lovely to me . thanks for posting will there be a smoke report coming? hope so... Red

Cheers Redbeard, a smoke report will come but still trying to narrow it down to one pheno out of 4, each almost identical. All very nice, pineapple mango and pine trees come to mind.

I took a load of pictures to post but these two were the only ones that were nearly in focus

At 5 weeks flower in hydro.

Mosca Seeds has released 2 C-99 Strains and a few C-99 crosses. They're available on a couple of the well known seed auction sites

Yeah I picked up a mosca fly pack, which is a c99 bx1 & sonicfly 10 seed mix. Hopefully should find something nice in there. Never had the pleasure of c99 either, been wanting to grow it for some time.
