Any other Cinderella 99 growers notice a 'slinky' plant?

I decided to not trim my cinderella's, they are about 4 feet tall about day 42 since switched to 12/12, cola's under the top are about the size of golf balls, doing rly rly good, only thing I've noticed is that it's VERY slinky of a plant. The stems go everywhere and don't seem to follow any rules lol. My Super lemon haze plant is about the same size, same size cola's, but still stands. All the leaves on the cinderella are fine, I can tell a lot more of the cola leaves are having energy sucked from them at this point but thats to be expected in later flowering. Anyone else experience the slinky-ness of this grow?

Pictures please! I have three c99's growing right now. They are pretty bushy and have limbs everywhere! Hoping she stretches her legs during flowering.
 
haha I'll give some pics for you to reference. But yes, LIMBS EVERYWHERE, once you turn from Veg to Flower, In my case the stems are so 'slinky' that the cola weighs them down, so I ended up putting a tomatoe cage around it and wrapping some of the stems up to the metal parts of the cage so that they stand, but yea it's almost uncontrollable in my opinion to keep this plant in check.

Plant in front is my cinderella, plant in back is super lemon haze, Cinderella likes to go everywhere I've seen. Two clones in back are cinderella's as well and I just started their 12/12 cycle last night.

I had a c99 this past season and it definitely needed to be staked and tied up during 2nd half of flowering to support buds.

Your curling leaves are a real concern. You should figure out why they are doing that.

I have a cindy 99 x green crack (named "11:59" by the breeder) that stretched everywhere in flower also. My first time growing any cindy 99 so i figure it's from that. My straight green crack is branchy but doesnt stretch that much.

side note.... the cindy 99 x green crack cross smells like strong cat piss..... not sure where that comes from???
 
I don't know what it is. For the cinderella 99, this is the only C99 plant i've had thats curled. Had the same exact nute treatment as the other c99's I grew, same treatment during flowering etc. I'm not sure why this one is doing this, but with roughly 2 weeks to go, I mean it is what it is, and Ima keep an eye on my other C99 plants and just let this one finish out.

For the super lemon haze, they did the crow claw, but I looked at the ones that the guy who sold me the clones, and his did the same, still received a GREAT amount and it smokes really nice. So then I got curious, turns out there are many phenotypes of Super Lemon Haze variant that crow claws for no absolute reason.
 
Yea, the plants still prduce very well and hit and taste really good. So other than little genetic quirks like the curling thing in the slh, I dunno what to say bout this cinderella. All I can figure is based on what ive read, and that its very sensitive to nutes sometimes. Seeing ive had success using the cheap dry nutes thats what ive been using and as stated earlier the others just dont do what this c99 is doing hah

If it gets me high and produces I dont rly care =P
