Marijuana Strain Descriptions
White 99
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Limonene (citrus-forward notes of lemon, orange, tangerine, contributes to uplifting mood-elevating qualities); Myrcene (earthy, herbal undertones with hints of mango and lemongrass, supports physical relaxation without heavy sedation)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Beta-caryophyllene (peppery, spicy notes of black pepper and cloves, adds warm woodsy depth); Pinene (fresh pine aromas, enhances forest-floor earthiness); trace amounts of terpinolene and linalool may appear (floral and herbaceous nuances); overall profile is citrus-earth-spice framework
The Experience- Common Effects
Enhanced focus and mental clarity; elevated mood and euphoria; increased creativity and flow of ideas; gentle physical relaxation without sedation; heightened sensory perception (colors, music, flavors); social engagement and conversational ease; productive and functional while enjoying experience
The Experience- Duration
Primary experience sustains approximately 2-3 hours; duration varies by consumption method, individual metabolism, and tolerance; vaporizing may produce slightly shorter but more intense effects
The Experience- Onset
Effects manifest within 5-10 minutes, full experience develops over 15-20 minutes; often characterized as creeper effect (subtle initially then intensifies); begins with mental shift - clearer thoughts, enhanced focus, free-flowing ideas; cerebral activation is smooth, not jittery; complementary physical sensation develops as gentle warming relaxation spreads through body without immobilizing
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth (very common); dry eyes (common); mild anxiety or racing thoughts with excessive dosing or in THC-sensitive individuals; slight dizziness with high quantities; increased appetite as effects progress
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Heavy physical labor or athletic performance requiring maximum intensity; evening use for those seeking sleep due to energizing effects; situations requiring complete sobriety (driving, operating machinery); high-stress environments where anxiety sensitivity problematic; first-time cannabis consumers due to high potency
Lineage and Origins
Cross of Cinderella 99 and The White; Cinderella 99 bred by Rick Campanella (Mr. Soul) of Brothers Grimm Seeds in mid-1990s from Jack Herer seeds found in Amsterdam, combined with Shiva Skunk through cubing process; The White originated in Florida with unknown genetics, also called Triangle, known for extreme trichome density; White 99 developed in early 2000s combining C99's cerebral energy with The White's resin production and balanced effects
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 22-25% typical range, with exceptional batches reaching 28-30%; CBD: below 1%, often 0.5% or less; trace amounts of CBG in some batches; high THC potency suitable for experienced consumers; low CBD-to-THC ratio emphasizes psychoactive qualities over CBD-mediated effects
Comparable Strains
Cinderella 99 (direct parent, more pure sativa effects, less physical relaxation, slightly lower THC); White Fire OG/WiFi (shares The White genetics, more indica-leaning, heavier body effects, stronger fuel/diesel aromatics); Super Lemon Haze (similar citrus-forward sativa-dominant profile, longer flowering, more haze characteristics); White Widow (similar name and trichomes though genetically unrelated, more balanced 50/50, earthier flavor, less cerebral intensity); Strawberry Cough (comparable energizing sativa effects, berry aromatics instead of citrus)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Moderate disease resistance and mold tolerance; dense trichome production and moderate bud density require attention to late-flowering humidity; proper air circulation essential; optimal humidity 40-50% RH during flowering
Cultivation Flowering Time
8-10 weeks indoors (8-9 weeks most common); reflects Cinderella 99 genetics; relatively short flowering period attractive for faster turnarounds; outdoor harvest mid-October in suitable climates
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 18-22 oz/m² under optimized conditions; outdoor: 20-24 oz/plant in warm Mediterranean-like climates; yields respectable though not exceptional - quality and potency are main attractions
Cultivation Plant Structure
Medium height with moderately bushy structure; sativa dominance creates vertical stretch during early flowering but The White genetics keep height manageable; moderate to vigorous branching; responds well to training (topping, LST, SCROG)
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Bright neon green coloration with vibrant orange pistils; abundant white-to-amber trichome coverage across buds and surrounding leaves; medium-dense bud structure (not airy, not rock-hard); fresh citrus-forward aroma with earthy undertones; slightly sticky, resinous texture; avoid over-dried batches that turn to dust
