Why is C99 sooo talked about?

Because it has attained a mythical status as a holy grail strain, and you really can't get a legit cut or seed of it anywhere. There are still original cuts out there, but they are very well kept hidden and not spread around. I have a couple of clones I got from a friend to try. I'm not really convinced it's C-99, but I like a new flavor every now and again, so I'll see how it grows. :)

It's not the most potent strain ever.
It's not the highest yielding.
It's not the best tasting.
It's not the quickest finishing.

But it is a really really nice combination of all those things. Hence the popularity.

Dude 100% agree. However another great factor is I have found this strain to be very forgiving for new growers. Can take a lot of nutes heals quickly from supercroping and even clones faster from what ive been told.

Peaks version is good. I have grown out a couple plants. Classic seeds probably has the best option as it's a straight open pollination of old seed stock from Bros. Grimm. Most other breeders have done selection it seems. I'd prefer no selection.

Do others C99's have strong aroma when flowering or when dried/cured? Mine do have a fruity smell to them but it is faint and dissipates quickly if not kept in sealed jars. It doesnt matter as much to me but it might be a tough sell to people who judge on how strong an aroma a particular strain has.

I am running Female Seeds C99 for the third time. Each time gets a little better as I get to know the strain but I have yet to be blown away with any aspect so far.

The 7 week flowering time is non-existent. At least in the phenotypes I got. I let them go from 50-60 days because I really wanted to believe there was a quality strain that finished in 8 weeks. I am letting the current girls go for 70 to see if that makes a difference.

Agree about the weak branches. Ever seen a coke can on a coffee stirrer? Thats an issue I can deal with though.

One good thing I noticed is that they are very resilient and never give me trouble. I can feed them heavily or very lightly and they just take it and like it. She clones fast and once she gets established, grows very fast.

Had some weird issues with one flowering under 20/4 lighting. It was only a cut from another that was perfectly healthy. Think they are just very sensitive to light levels and photoperiods.

Best to try her 100% organic.

Ive done a few C99's over the years and its always best soil-organix.

Female seeds is a good one, but is best to do from clone. I bet most keepers of c99 flower her from clone for best results

Seeddepot carries classic seeds.

My C99 finished in about 50 days. Decent yielder, very easy to clone, nice smell - not overwhelming like some, but very nice and hard to tell it's marijuana growing. Smell remains for me but it's not like say any Kush which is overpowering and will get you busted quick. Granted I didn't grow it organically and I suspect it has a lot more potential in this respect if dialed perfectly. Floppy as described. Not my most potent smoke, but it is very very motivating - probably more than anything else I've had. As a result I will be running it again probably next seed run or I'll just get the clone from my buddy. More likely I'll run some seeds though.
