Yes it is odd considering both parents are sativa like but I guess that's what happens when crossing genetics. Because yes both the Sweet Skunk and C99 could be described as mentally stimulating. I would say though it's worth a try because we may all experience a particular strain differently. Also differing harvest times may play a role in said effects.@D_Urbmon You say that the SS x C99 made you "feel retarded" and it's great "to shut off an overactive mind". Those are "stoney" effects I would associate with an Indica-dominant strain and not with a SS x C99, which has more of a sativa background. Very surprised that the SS x C99 is stupefying (makes you stupid or retarded like you state) instead of being mentally stimulating, uplifting and perhaps even trippy which is what I look for. I was intrigued by this cross, but if it makes you retarded and shuts the mind off, it's not for me.

I've only looked at a couple Sweet Skunk females (germinated 1/2 pack) and I really don't think it's even close to a pure sativa. Definitely a hybrid. I had one female that could only be described as Indica leaning. Neither was anywhere near as sativa as the Blue Dream cut I'm running.Yes it is odd considering both parents are sativa like but I guess that's what happens when crossing genetics.

I only had I think 5 or 6 ladies out of what I germed so I never ran into any indica leaning plants. I did have some with a broader leaf but mine were all quite stretchy.I've only looked at a couple Sweet Skunk females (germinated 1/2 pack) and I really don't think it's even close to a pure sativa.

The first time I ran it I had 2 batches of seeds and some were spicy, but this time I didn't get any spice, just pineapple. I think OGEvilgenius had some grapefruit going on IIRC. I'll get back to you once they cure some.@D_Urbmon what phenos did you encounter in peak's C99? Was it pineapple or grapefruit like the original Bros. Grimm? Or are there others hidden in there as well? I've read of some versions of C99 having a spicy/peppery pheno and that's not really what I'm looking for.
It's all in the chemotype. Columbians would make you retarded and then put you to sleep. IMO the sativa indica thing is really more about the regions and the terpenes and chemical profiles than anything. I've got some real nice Warlock which is an indica dom right now that doesn't put you down and puts you in a great mood.@D_Urbmon You say that the SS x C99 made you "feel retarded" and it's great "to shut off an overactive mind".

Sorry to keep bothering you with questions about it, but I'd appreciate if you could clarify it.D_Urbmon: "I very much liked the Sweet Skunk x C99. It added yield and flavor compared to the pure Sweet Skunk and it added yield and a little punch to the pure C99. A little improvement to both strains by combining them if you ask me. It also seemed to bring the flowering time down from the Sweet Skunk as I ran into an 11 week pheno when I grew the Sweet Skunk, but there were also some 9 week phenos. I took it to 10 weeks, so it's definitely still not as fast as the C99. The flowers were absolutely beautiful too, and both strains to begin with had spectacular resin glands. I can't really say I prefer one over the other, as they say variety is the spice of life. But you nailed it man, SS x C99 is a racier and trippier type of high from the introduction of the Sweet Skunk. But at the same time it's a very functional high, not a sit on the couch and munch out type of high. The racy anxious feelings went away pretty quick though for me, and I have been smoking mainly Indica style herb my whole life so maybe I'm just sensitive to the "sativa" like effects. Most potent sativa I've grown? Probably just the Sweet Skunk and Sweet Skunk x C99. Oh, and Dynasty Genetics' CCK (Caramel Candy Kush) had a "sativa" pheno."
Shit man, I'm trippin. It's been a while . I must have been confusing it with something else I grew. Easy to do when you're high all the time.@D_Urbmon I'm trying to get some info on Peak's SS x C99 and you seem the only one who has grown and smoke it, but your previous comments seem to go against the stupefying mind shutting description. Here's what you said before:

I have done business with PSBC several times and will again in the future. I have some sweet skunk flushing right now. This is the least consistent lowest yielding strain that I have bought from them. If your primary concern, this is not for you.Will one of you pm me peaks
Correct address
I think read somewhere there's a well not so real site
What would y'all order for outdoors
I got at least 4 or 5 month veg time
Forget about mold and all that
What yields the best
I was thinking sweet skunk

You could scuff the rest of them. Sometimes seeds that are overripe don't want to germinate in my experience - too much husk to bust through. Scuffing with some sandpaper can help.
