Cinderella 99 The Come Back

Shit I got is at least as strong as it should be. Elite. I been known to run a Tom Haze or two.
I guess I need to revisit some c99. The only one I've tried was a pack from mosca and it was solid c+ plant all around. Acceptable flavor, acceptable high, acceptable yield...... Unfortunately that does not equal acceptable plant. Certainly nothing worthy of what I hear c99 is capable of.

On another note. I had one pheno that started to smell like cinnamon for a few days about halfway through flowering. Then it went back to more of a sweet light citrus kinda pineapple but not quite sort of smell. Ive always wished I had harvested one during the few days it smelled like cinnamon and blast some bho with her

100% agree. I had a similar experience with Cindy 99 and wasn’t too impressed compared to what I’ve heard and read. I grew kwik seeds Cindy 99 and got 3 females all different in size one was short and way too bushy, one grew extremely tall and one was pretty close to what Cindy looks like. They all smelled different but none of them had a loud pineapple smell that is described.

The bushy one has little to no smell at all

The tall purple one has a very subtle spicy almost incense smell

The regular looking one has a generic sweet smell and a little chemically

After about a month of curing I’ve given out test samples so far to 2 people with pretty high tolerances and they just described them as ok, not bad not good. With the tall purple incense smelling one to be the best. I will give out some more samples to other people to see what they say but so far it’s not living up to its name.

I haven’t lost hope though if anyone knows where to get a better line of Cindy with more potency and up high and strong pineapple smell let me know!

No repro...yet.

I don't know if K.O.S. will be offering them in the future or not. I too, have noticed K.O.S. is out of c99 and so is James Bean seeds where K.O.S seeds have been sold for years. I've got a pack plus stored in freezer.

I've run K.O.S. original Bros. Grimm C99 F4 several times over the last few years and always intended to do a personal stash seed increase. I'm not familiar with the rotten meat pheno, but there is one called the "fig smelling" pheno, which some people might call rotten meat. It grows well, good effects, finishes under 60 days, bag appeal etc.

I have 3 small female testers in flower now (kept clones) and several others (8?) vegging in 1 gallon containers that should sex soon. Hoping to get at least one decent male and a couple of different pheno females. The lucky boy(s), if found will get to pollinate every decent girl.

If no decent male(s), but a good female or two show up, I'm strongly considering making some fems. I'm also likely to make a few crosses to try outdoors.

If this goes well, I'd estimate by Feb 2025 I might have a few spare seeds.
Yes that overripe fig pheno! Keep me posted I’d gladly pay/trade for some of those beans

The most disappointing version of C99 was the Cannalope from DNA but as I had big expectation I made seeds with 2 males and all the female. The seeds I made with the average plants produced some of the best C99 phenotypes I've grown. I don't know if I screw something during the grow with the bought seeds but I got many great keepers from my home made seeds. Most of the females were done in the 8 weeks range with a strong tropical fruit smell and taste and a great happy high, all you can expect from a decent C99.
Do you think the few flowers pollinated on each females might have play a role in the disappointing results? Each plant produced about 50 seeds each, only a small portion of each was pollinated.
