Cinderella 99, otherwise known as C99, or simply “Cindy,” is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm. She’s best known for her potent cerebral high, sweet fruity flavors, and epic yields. According to Mr. Soul, C99 was created using seeds found in a Sensi branded 2 gram package of Jack Herer purchased at an Amsterdam coffee shop. Cinderella 99 is very popular with indoor growers because of its short, bushy stature, high yields, short flowering time, and high THC content. Cindy’s effects are usually described as dreamy, euphoric, and uplifting.

Cinderella 99 (also called Cindy or C99) is a powerhouse hybrid with humble beginnings.

In the late 1990s, Mr. Soul — founder of Brothers Grimm Seeds — discovered a few seeds inside a Jack Herer bud that he purchased in an Amsterdam coffee shop. He grew one into a cultivar named Princess, which reportedly provided a much more psychedelic experience than other strains on the market at the time.

From there, he aimed to create a super-strain that would allow him to share Princess with the world. First, he paired a Princess female with a Shiva Skunk male to add plant strength, and used a triple backcrossing method called “cubing” to create the parent strain Cinderella 88. Finally, he bred Cinderella 88 with Princess once more to achieve what breeders call the Holy Grail of Hybrids — Cinderella 99.

The name Cinderella comes from the fairy tale heroine, who — much like the cultivar — had modest beginnings, but bloomed into royalty. Consumers savor the strain for its fruity, floral aroma, thanks to a hefty presence of linalool.

Cinderella 99 is the result of the crossing of the Shiva Skunk and Jack Herer strains. It is a sativa-dominant bud, and therefore it comes as no surprise that it offers such an energetic and spacy high. Due to the increase in energy and focus, it makes an ideal strain for those with ADHD/ADD or any disorder that has fatigue as a side effect. It also has an incredibly interesting taste with notes of pineapple, skunk, and pine.
