thanks for sharing that info towlie. the first reports i heard for femaleseeds' C99 made it sound underwhelming, but not as bad as nirvana's knockoff. as it's an essential strain to me, i'm keen to keep it in my garden as well as test different phenos as mosca's phenos sound very different than JW's grapey one.
let us know how it smokes and any different highs you get. i'm trying to make a mental not not to dismiss their version now as all the hype has been on mosca lately, especially with JW out of the picture.
really sounds like a great strain i am pretty sure i will be growing this next
C99 kicks much ass! i don't know of any strain that doesn't have any couchlock that flowers faster. i'm still working with joey weed's gear and testing my last 2 C99 x A11s with the plan of using one of those to pollinate everything including his pure C9s that i back crossed if one of them is a male.
JW's cindy has the "classic" C99 buzz... racy & energetic with plenty of euphoria, but clear headed much like kali mist in a fraction of the time while mosca's has a range of phenos from stony to trippy plus the most sought after "potent pineapple" pheno so it's possible to get a range of different flavors and effects from cindy. i'm keen to hear how femaleseeds' version smokes for sure as C99 is my go to breeder for speeding up more sativa dominants without adding stank or couchlock as aghani has almost everything it touches.
i'm also keen to try her son apollo 11 to see if it's mellower & trippier buzz is more fun than C99 which with JW's version at least is more about activity than chilling out on tunes etc. i flat out expected both strains to take over the market and bring getting high back to the masses as they both perform more like cash crapping strains, but without the afghani pollution so many of us don't like. 6-7 years later, both strains keep teetering on the brink of extinction until a new breeder brings it back when another drops off the face of the map like spice brothers or dr greengenes.
i like trippier strains like haze skunk better, but they don't sprint to the finish line like C99 & A11
