Big Bud X C99 by Scott Family Farms
Big Bud × Cinderella 99
Big Bud x C99 by Scott Family Farms is a balanced indica/sativa hybrid developed by Scott Family Farms. This strain combines the high-yielding characteristics of Big Bud with the rapid finishing and bright terpene profile of Cinderella 99, aiming for both commercial viability and artisanal quality.
Appearance
This hybrid produces dense, compact buds with swollen calyxes that are tightly arranged, giving them a commercial appeal. The flowers are often described as golf-ball to soda-can sized clusters that form continuous colas. Trichomes are abundant, covering the buds and extending onto the sugar leaves. Some phenotypes may display lavender or plum accents, particularly in cooler temperatures near the end of flowering.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is predominantly tropical and fruity, with notes of pineapple and citrus peel. Upon grinding, a brighter sparkle of grapefruit and orange blossom emerges, layered over a subtle earthy and peppery undertone. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with juicy pineapple and tangerine notes, followed by lighter herbal and floral hints, and finishing with a warm, spicy aftertaste.
Effects
Big Bud x C99 is reported to provide an uplifting and clear initial sensation, which gradually transitions into a gently grounding experience. It is described as balancing a euphoric headspace with comfortable body effects, avoiding heavy couchlock when consumed in moderate amounts. The effects are suitable for daytime use, offering a balanced experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
THC content typically ranges from 18-24%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is complex, often featuring Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Terpinolene. Phenotypes may lean towards Myrcene and Caryophyllene, contributing earthy and musky notes, or Terpinolene and Limonene, providing brighter citrus and floral characteristics.
Growing
This strain is noted for its commercial-grade production potential, featuring strong lateral branching and high calyx-to-leaf ratios that simplify trimming. It has a relatively short flowering time and exhibits good indoor reliability, with dense flowers that resist foxtailing. The plant structure is typically medium to tall, developing a candelabra form when trained.
Origins & Lineage
Big Bud x C99 is a hybrid cross created by Scott Family Farms. It combines Big Bud, known for its exceptional yield and robust structure tracing back to Afghani and Skunk/Northern Lights genetics, with Cinderella 99 (C99), a fast-finishing, terpene-forward strain developed by Brothers Grimm. This cross aims to merge the productivity of Big Bud with the speed and upbeat effects of C99.
