Good afternoon steemit! It's a beautiful day here in the desert. Sunny, 80 degrees, the perfect gym short weather! This is the time of the year for outdoor activities here in Az. I tend to stay inside the whole summer, so I'm getting some desert hiking in this afternoon.
Today I have some Cinderella 99 to show off! She's a well known sativa dominant hybrid, that has been a staple for us since the beginning. She is an ancestor to the famous sativa, Jack Herror, and she definitely makes the family proud. Cindy is awesome because she only has a 9 week flower time, she is relatively easy to grow, with few problems, and she gives us awesome yeilds! The perfect fit for indoor hydroponic gardens, which is why Cindy is such a common beloved strain.
She grows super bushy, with large, fluffy nugs. Doesn't stress out easy, we've never had a problems with seeds or, bannanas, and she is resilient towards mold and mildew. And she smells amazing
She has a light, sugary smell and taste, and gives an uplifting euphoric high so many are looking for in their daytime smoke sessions. I love rolling up some Cindy to take on the trail for some mid-hike medication. That won't steal all my energy. Overall she is a great pick for growing indoor, or outdoor in any situation. I would recommend her to beginners as a great first strain to pop and start learning. She'll give you plenty of delicious product in just 9 weeks, and very little headache. Seeds are relatively easy to find so give her a try! Cheers!
Beautiful shots of a beautiful bud.
Definitely made me jealous the way you talked about the weather. It just got near below 0 degrees here today in Illinois :(.
God help you!
I can smell those wonderful terps through my computer screen!! Hell yeah
Hope your monitor isn't getting to sticky!
Wow, thats a frosty c99, the smell must be stunning. So much trichomes !!! Do you use led or hps ?! Greetings from germany. 420 !
Greetings! We use gavida DE1000 pro hps lights at the facility!

Beautiful bud. You've got my vote and my follow, looking forward to seeing the babies progress
Absolutely gorgeous, great to see some of the product around AZ! Thanks!
I'd say Az is becoming one of the hot spots for cannabis. I've lived and worked in Cali, Colorado, and now Az and the flower here is just as good! The best thing about Az is that everything is indoor so it's all super high quality. There is a few greenhouse facilities, but it's mostly top shelf indoor. Very little of the mid grade outdoor here .
This summer I will try to grow few plants right in my garden (I am Canadian and Marijuana is getting legalized here in July) and this is the variety I am going to choose. Thx!!
It's a great variety to start from seed. Short flower time, and she doesn't stress out easy. You can find seeds online prettt easily. Good luck!
Thank you, I will remember to post here a picture with my results :-)
They say about me that I have not a green thumb but all green fingers, so I should be fine.
So nice and frosty, Do you use CO 2 to help with the frost ??
Looking so good
Thank you
Yes we do! We're a commercial facility so we have a license for it.
Looking good and much success to you.
I work with "Funky Sunk Farms" here in AZ
Thank you
Sweet! I work at True Harvest in Az! I'm not familiar with funky Skunk, are you in Phoenix?
Awesome, Funky is outside of Phoenix in Queen Valley.
Thank for the awesome info on this beloved strain @dajohns1420
Okay ... before anyone else tries it, putting your computer monitor in a bong and trying to light it DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK.

hey I was wondering if you could help me out a a bit given your superior experience, im getting close to harvest time about a week or two away I was wondering whats the ideal humidity for drying and curing? I saw you mention those bovida humidity bags and I've heard of them before, would the 62% Be the one go go for or is that too high of a humidity level?
idealy you want the humidity between 50-58 and you don't want to go over 60 and you don't want it below like 45. sometimes that's hard when you don't have a room specifically for drying. Haveing a humidifier and de-humidifier makes things a lot easier, but their are ways to adjust your humidity without them like a bucket of water and a fan to add humidity, or ac to remove it. A closet works great for drying home grows. I like to cut my branches down to about a foot long remove the fan leaves, then hang them on wire hangers making sure the branches are touching each other and when I hang them up I make sure the hangers are close to each other so the branches are touching there to. You let them dry for about 5-10 days, the longer the better. I make sure to rotate the outer hangers to the inside several times during the drying period. Once the flower is almost as dry as you want it, but not quite there yet, you remove the nugs from the branches and move it into jars opening them for like 30 minutes 2 or theee times a day, and mixing up the nugs at the same time. This is where the bivida packs come it. You want to use the 56% or maybe it 58% I can't remember which ones they make. You just put them in the jar with the flower and it makes sure the nugs don't get to dry. The 62% packs are for re-hydrating flower that got to dry. You leave the flower in the jars for a few more days until it cured to where you like it. Everyone is a little different. during this time is when tou trim it, unless you wet trimmed of course.
That's how I dry and cure, but their are many other methods if you look online. I hope I made sense. I don't like hanging whole plants because I like the branches to be close to each other on a hanger because it makes them dry slower I've found.
I just looked, it's the 58% bovida packs you want. The 62% and 75% are for re hydrating flower that got to dry.
Awesome thats spot on the info i needed, i was thinking the 62 was too high but wasnt sure so glad you could clarify ill pick up some of those for the jar cure and for the drying, i figured i was going to clean out my lil grow chamber spotless and use that to dry since i dont need to put another plant in there right away because i have a smaller operation with some plants in early veg and theyre young so no rush on getting them in the bigger spot yet, i also have a nice humidifier that i can leave running just inside the room set for 55 as max humidity and i think that should work out perfect let me know if you have any other suggestions and thanks again for the help really appreciate the knowledge from someone with the experience because no matter how much you looo up this stuff i think takes some trial and error to get just right and after spending all that time growing i wouldnt want to mess up on the harvest
That should work fine. I really like the wire hanger trick just hang it from the like you hang your light from, but you don't have to do it. Just keep an eye on that humidity and temp, it can change fast. In my experience it's stays consistent for the first few days, then around day 5 or 6 all of the sudden the humidity drops quickly over a couple hours. If you aren't paying attention and it gets to low for to long it will dry them more than you want. Also, if your nugs vary in size, some of the smaller ones will be ready to yank down before the bigger ones. The drying process is super important if you want your buds to taste awesome, you wanna get it perfect.
your help is priceless. I totally agree and I often see people come out with horrible cures after all that time spent growing its almost a waste if not done right. those tips are the kind of advice that come from experience which I lack thank you for you expanding my knowledge
It seems like a cactus. Thanks for sharing...
Looks very nice! How does she compare to Apollo 11? I have some Bodhi seeds Apollo f4's I want to pop soon.
Thanks! I'm not familiar with apollo 11. I'm sure I've smoked it, I hear the name a lot, but no experience personally
Ah, just thought I'd ask. I think Cinderella and Apollo are related, both came from Brothers Grimm Seeds back in the day
I've blazed this strain before... It's excellent herb! : )
