Landrace Sativas × Unknown
C99, also known as Cinderella 99, is a sativa-dominant strain developed by ApeOrigin. It emerged from a desire to combine the unique qualities of classic sativa landraces with modern cultivation improvements, resulting in a strain appreciated for its potency and complex profile.
Appearance
C99 produces dense, well-structured buds that often display elongated, sativa-like leaves, hinting at its genetic heritage. Under optimal lighting, these buds can show vibrant green hues, sometimes with subtle purple undertones. They are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of C99 is a complex blend, often starting with sweet, earthy notes reminiscent of a tropical forest, complemented by hints of citrus and fruit. Upon closer inspection, users may detect subtle herbal and floral undertones. The flavor follows suit, offering a vibrant mix of sweet tropical fruits, citrus zest, and pine, with a lingering aftertaste that balances earthiness with a touch of floral bitterness.
Effects
C99 is recognized for its potent sativa effects, which are often described as cerebral and uplifting. This strain is associated with promoting creativity and a focused mental state. Its energizing qualities make it a suitable choice for daytime use, though individual experiences may vary.

Analytical studies suggest that C99 contains dominant terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its distinct aroma and potential effects. This strain typically tests between 18% and 25% THC, with minimal CBD content (less than 1%). This cannabinoid profile supports its reputation for delivering a strong psychoactive experience.
Growing
C99 has a flowering period of approximately 8-9 weeks. It is known for its robust genetics, offering a good yield potential, with reports suggesting up to 600 gr/m² indoors and around 500 grams per plant outdoors.
