The G13 Cindy 99 was a freebie in the Tude Birthday Promo. I nabbed 2 of them. Thing is this was a surprise because they replaced the all Ch9 UFOs they were advertising and that appeared on my order, with the G13 gear, including G13 White Lavender, G13 Gigabud, and the G13 C99. I don't mind that kind of switcheroo

Have you even grown any of their strains?
G13 has some good strains. Their Blue Venom is my favorite smoke for the last few months.

Just wait a few years, maybe one day it will be possible to do cheap gene analysis to see which strain comes from which parents. Some breeder's results would be very surprising and I bet you can trace most modern strains back to maybe 10 landraces or heirlooms, excluding autoflowering strains.

Would be interesting to find out
Ok, so I am right at 8wks in on G13 C99. Buds got too heavy for the stems so today I pulled it out and did some tying to keep it from falling over. I have to say, it is NOTHING like any C99 I have come across in the past. In fact, the closest thing it reminds me of is Black Pearl from HGS. It has a strong paint thinner smell with just a slight hint of citrus to it.

Me too, g13 labs gear has not let me down yet. I've done the blueberry gum, blue og which is still one of my favourite og crosses and I've even done the auto Pineapple Express and the auto diesel. The auto diesel I put out in the garden for summer and though it only yielded about 14gms - smoke was better than what my mates were buying at the time.

Got pics? I figured it probably wasn't a pure C99.. based on what I've read from others. Some people like it though. The smells yours is putting off sound good to me.
^ No I don't have any pics. If I get around to it, I will take some. And yeah, it isn't bad, I actually kind of liked Black Pearl. It was good enough to grow it a couple of times. The buds are swollen enough to fall over, so yield will be good and it is nice thick solid buds. I am interested in seeing how it smokes, but it is not what I have seen from other C99s.

If anyone is still interested in G13 labs Cindy 99,it is like nothing i've experienced. I've had over 10 successful grows with 20+ types of cannabis over the last 7 years and I got Cindy 99 as a freebie not thinking much about it until around week 5. The smell and size were fantastic. covered in larger sativa like trichomes. One poster mentioned it being a favorite of his because of the psychodelic effects and god damn is he right. never have I have such a strong head high. I took the perfect rip off my bong at my girlfriends apartment and had this intense feeling of light headedness,a moment of floorlock, and quickly after that I was able to go outside and enjoy the intensity of this sativa. I smoke weed like most people smoke cigarettes and even after 2 months of smoking it here and there it kicks my ass. I've been thinking the past couple days about which strain to order and this 4 month old post made me decide.

What did it end up smoking like?
It smoked pretty good. I liked it. I even said several times to my friends that I would be willing to grow it again IF it was called anything other than C99. It just really bothers me that they would call it C99 when it clearly is not, so I cant give them any of my money when I know they are bullshitting. If I get another freebie I would grow it.

Yeah that is some horse shit, they should come up with a different name and it wouldn't be an issue.

I don't trust G13 with the freebies anymore. We grew a great Pineapple Express from a freebie and when we bought them they were obviously different plants.
Anybody with a similar experience?

Interesting, did you buy a 5 pack or a single. It would make sense if you bought a single and it was completely different because that is just how genetics work.

Nope, we bought 3 packs. the first pack we grew in one go and all plants were very uniform looking. much brighter green, smaller, more indica looking leaves and less vigorous that the freebie. the freebie had a nice bushy structure with darkish green huge leaves. The 2nd pack was pretty much the same but it had a mutant. now we have 6 or 7 left which we want to use as 12/12 from seed if there is a space to fill. All seeds we popped produced healthy plants apart from this one mutant and the end result was not so bad after all. But they were either different strains or we were really lucky with the pheno of the freebie. Apparently Pinapple express has 2 or 3 different phenos but the ones we bought looked all the same.

Yup I would stay the hell away from them from now on, thats a shitty situation.

Well, maybe i shouldn't judge the company by this one seed. Maybe Pineapple Express is just what we got from the seeds and the freebie was accidentally labelled wrongly. Or it was really a rare pheno, who knows.
In general i don't really have a problem with G13 labs. But if other people had similar experiences it would be a reason for me not to buy their gear just because i liked a freebie. A single seed can't represent a strain 100% but the breeder should still be honest and give you the right ones.
