mm , the more i hear about her the more i wanna give her a try 
http://www.hempdepot.ca/seeds/joeyweed/Cinderella99.html
This looks fairly nice but im quite skeptical about seed banks and commercial breeders... I think most of them just slap a cool name on bagseeds and ship.
Ive bin wanting to go with Vortex and Pandora's Box - but if i can find a reliable source for a real C99 ill grab it.
A traditional sativa aint really an option at this moment ,- the best weed i smoked was a 16 week Super Silver haze tree... It was like walking a blissful dream.
After that , i started harvesting my plants 2 weeks after i thought they were ready. - But i dont have the time for another 4+ month flowering so ill stick with the indicas...
C99 though <.< damn it looks good.

Yeah she is DELICIOUS too...!!!
I highly recommend...
But I have NEVER bought a seed...
The only reliable source I know is old hippies...
Sorry...
This thread may help though...

i currently just finished c99 at 64 days, this time im letting her go alot longer, she needs it trust me she is ready at 60 days or so but i bet ill get a better turn out this time, i currently have her at day 61 of 12 and 12 under a 600 watter sog, only 2 small girls as im doing a multi strain grow at this time to try and narrow down 1 real nice lady for maximum performance, last time i grew c99 it was dwc she yields low but low odor and an amazing smoke i wish i had the gumption to get some pics for you

also just to shed some light i previously posted this somewhere else buuuuut, i thoght id let you all know that grimm bros stock was f1, joey weed has f2 i will cut a paste the important parts for yall who down understand f1 and f2s and how it all works
NOT MY MATERIAL!
What really is an F1 cross?
Well defining the terms P1, F1, F2, homozygous, and heterogygous can be a simple task, however,
applying them to applied genetics can often create confusion. Depending on your point of reference, a
plant could be described as any of these terms. For our specific field of interest it's important to further
define these terms to reduce confusion and protect the consumers. First I'll provide the classic scientific
definition of these and other related terms and then I'll dive into each term into detail.
Heterzygous - a condition when two genes for a trait are not the same on each member of a pair of
homologous chromosomes; individuals heterozygous for a trait are indicated by an "Aa" or "aA" notation
and are not true breeding for that trait.(Clarke)
Homozygous - the condition existing when the genes for a trait are the same on both chromosomes of a
homologous pair; individuals homozygous for a trait are indicated by "AA" or "aa" and are true breeding
for that trait. (Clarke)
- Now the heterozygous and homozygous terms can be applied to one trait or a group of traits within an
individual or a group of individuals. Depending on your point of reference, an individual or group can be
considered both homozygous or heterozygous. For instance, say you have two individuals that are both
short (S) and have webbed leaves (W) and have the following genotypes.
#1 = SSWW
#2 = SSWw
For example, the blueberry cannabis strain is considered a true breeding homozygous seed line because
as a whole the many offspring have a similar look and produce a similar product. However there are
often subtle differences between the plants of characters such as stem colour and potency. When taking
a close look at blueberry, you will find heterozygous traits, but because of the whole overall look, we
still generally consider them homozygous for the purpose of breeding programs. Using dogs is another
way to explain this, take a dobie for example, you can tell the difference between dobies, but you can
tell a dobie from another breed. Ya follow?
- For the purpose of seedbanks, a hybrid is in general, a cross between any two unrelated seedlines.
ANY HYBRID IS heterozygous and NOT TRUE BREEDING.
i know this parts rough but try to understand !!
OK lets say we take blueberry and cross it with romulan (both relatively true breeding of their unique
traits) to create the F1 hybrid romberry. Now lets cross the F1 romberry with a NL/Haze F1 hybrid.
Some could say this is a F1 cross of romberry and NL/Haze. Others could argue that it is a F2 cross
of two F1 hybrids. Gets confusing doesn't it? Now lets cross this Romberry/NL/Haze(RNH) with a
Skunk#1/NL#5 F1 hybrid to create RNHSN. Now some would argue that RNHSN is an F1 hybrid
between RNH and SK/NL seedlines. Others would call it an F2.
So what does this mean to the consumer? It means that a seed bank can call a cross whatever it wants
until the industry adopts some standards. This is what this article will attempt to initiate. Clarke eludes to
standardising these definitions but never really gets around to it. Fortunately other plant breeding
communities have (Colangelli, Grossnickle&Russell, Watts, &Wright) and adopting their standards
makes the most sense and offers the best protection to the seedbank consumer
this is my favorite part of the whole entire article and it sums it up best
It's easy to be confused by terms that have more than one interpretation, depending on the context. F2 seeds are
generally considered by the seed-buying public to be an inferior product. This may be a true statement – for
example, in the case of a seed bank selling Jack Herer seeds WITHOUT STATING that they were created by
crossing two Jack Herer plants from Sensi Seed Bank’s F1 stock. These seeds are an F2 generation of Jack Herer
in the classic definition of the term. The F2 generation is NOT going to produce the same results as the F1 in
terms of the similarity of the plants in the group…they will vary in their characteristics rather than all of them
being essentially identical. Such a scam rips off the buyer expecting a uniform crop of Jack Herer. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now here’s the “kicker” because of the negative connotation of the example of an F2 above, some have the
mistaken impression that any member of the F2 generation is undesirable as a plant. This is NOT necessarily true.
Quite the contrary; the F2 generation is a treasure trove of possibilities. the recombination of genes produces a
variety of different plants, among which there may be individuals of great value.actually the source for
future true-breeding strains. A breeder who recognizes an outstanding and unique individual from an F2 group can
work with it to create a true-breeding hybrid strain such as was done with classics like Skunk #1 and Northern
Lights. The methods to accomplish this task vary, but back crossing to the original unique plant is typically a part
of a process which ultimately must accomplish the goal of creating a strain which breeds true for all the important
traits which made the unique individual so valuable. i hope this helps anyone who really wants to know.

here's my last c99 girl just before harvest at 60 days... looked done to me..
And I know nothing of f1s and f2s... but I got the old school c99... them old hippies sure knew what to keep around...

Here's some crappy low res shots of Cindy at 7 weeks and 3 days of flowering... (7x7=49 + 3 = 52 days of flowering)
This is the top cola... my computer is too full to even rotate the pics.. sorry...
and now the lower branches...
she's getting chopped tonight... (at 60 days)

No worries...
Just "paying forward" what was freely given to me...
I can only hope that you guys pick up the torch of FACTUAL GROWING.. and carry it on...
Just like those before me... my time too shall pass...
And then it will be YOUR turn...
OVERGROW THEM ALL...
