I have run the NS, KS, SB, KB, C99, TS, SS, and the NL x Texada . The last one was outdoor only. Out of those for a sativa I would say the c99 or TS. For an indica I would say the KB . But if I had to choose just one out of what I have grown I would go with the KS. I found a complete sativa effect ss leaner keeper. A perfect hybrid keeper, and a knockout indica.

Interesting you choose C99 over Sweet Skunk for a sativa, having grown C99 and SS x C99 I always wondered if I should have ordered the Sweet Skunk instead, since Peakseeds website description says SS is "very potent" as opposed to SS x C99 being just "potent".

Here's a few shots of the C99 I have going right now, this is my own C99 x c99 pollen chuck, looks whispier than the original C99 beans from Mike.

Any reason for the C99 packs to have 15 seeds instead of 10 like all others? PeakseedsBC states "Seeds are sold in packs of ten (20 pack for mixed)", so I'm curious why 15 on the C99... perhaps because Mike found that C99 needs 15 seedlings to find a keeper?

I bought 2 packs of c99 before he had this new packaging and he sent me like 30+ beans but many were crushed or damaged, probably had about 20-25 beans in good condition.

I like the structure of buds on the c99s I have but they are nutrient whores and they just don't compare to my tangerine power or cookies and chem, as far as resin and tarp production goes. All 3 just barely have a smell and it is so faint I can hardly get a whiff but my TP and CNC are easy to get great smells off.

So far I only kept 1 clone from the 3 c99s to run again and try to find something nicer, unless this one has good flavor present, or otherwise I'm gonna toss it. I'll revisit the c99 beans someday but for now I'm gonna let them sit.
#4, the one I kept, nicest smell and heavy flowers

#1 she has the best resin but she was the most nute sensitive so I didn't keep a clone, not much of a smell on her

Looks like a trimming will be painless.

I e-mailed Mike to ask this question and he was nice enough to answer, but he also suggested I reach out to people who have grown lots of his gear, because he has not tested for CBD yet.

I just stumbled on this thread and am very glad I did.

Which Peak IBLs or F1s produce the most CBD, or have the potential as breeding stock with other medium to high CBD strains?

I know there are lots of "high CBD strains" out there these days (and I have some of them) but I do want to try some Peak gear and I really do like to have a good dose of CBD in my weed. I get anxious/paranoid very easily otherwise.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. (I like Indicas and Sativas equally well for different reasons).

EDIT: Oh, one other thing - I'll be setting up to test CBD content at home soon - so if worse comes to worst (come to think of it, this is a bad choice of words), I will grow all Peak strains and test them myself. It'll just take a while. :)

Speaking of Cinderella I grew it out when it was C88,sometime in the late 90s it was from Emery’s if I remember correctly and the cost was $150,most I had ever paid for a seed pack.
I germinated the 10 seeds and got 1 female,it had a tropical fruit flavour,really pronounced,the buzz was very racey,paranoid inducing and not enjoyable at all,In fact i despised the buzz,I had a couple of friends freak out actually,but it was a big hit with most because of the taste.I also remember it not mixing well with alcohol.

I readily shared the clone with friends as it was quick to flower,great for outside done before September every year.i gave her up in 2002 and didn’t think about it again till the last couple of years,I’ve popped 5 different breeders version of the C99 and found nothing even close to what I remember.Hopefully I find something here with my 30 seeds..

Exactly my experience, the original was scary racy, the mind shooting thousand ideas per second and rather paranoid. Nothing like the current C99 from Peak or Female Seeds (ironically, the least similar to the original is Brothers Grimm's new version) and very aromatic, most of the time a strong pineapple, some more like grapefruit and still others rotten meat. The C88 was offered for $75 via Heaven's Stairway, so if you remember paying $150 it was C99.

The peak c99 I had backed off all of my regular buds. These are mostly very experienced tokers and growers and very rushy with most talking about a zinging rush up the spine and neck! The SS is a bit less zingy but very motivating!

What did it look like in terms of phenotype? Because Mike originally had different batches of C99 with different parents, perhaps yours came from an early batch different from the one being distributed today.

I’ve got some c99 and sweet skunk in veg right now. How much stretch can I expect from them both ?

The description of Sweet Skunk used to have a warning "height can be a problem", Mike J from PeakSeedsBC recommends flowering Sweet Skunk the earliest / shortest you can. You can get some shorter phenos (that amazingly can be the most sativa in effect!) but generally speaking SS is a stretcher, induced at one ft it can easily reach 4ft if they are seedlings (from clones they stretch less).

C99 stretches less than SS under similar conditions, but certain phenos can also stretch quite a bit, especially under lower light intensity or insufficient root space. Clones of C99 stretch less and also become more powerful in effect as they age, seems that sativas need about a year to reach genetic maturity and be at their best.

Good to know. I plan on doing some LST to help promote a lot of side branching..... make them grow out rather than tall. Plus their clones so that should help.

I cant really comment on the cbd content of peak strains. But I can say I grabbed 2 packs of Candida through East coast seeds and Mothers Little Helper for CBD. I will be popping them come september.

I do recall him mentioning having a few different c99 offerings. Asked if I would prefer a more fruity terp profile over the rotten meat/pineapple.
Super excited to run the SSxc99 and the c99 x kush.

I had both the SS and the Pineapple c99 stretch X2 roughly during flower. Nothing I would call crazy height wise though. Even with long veg.

Cheers :)
