Some say its crossed with bubble Chemdog, making the outcome look like
[Super Skunk x Oregon Snow] x Bubble Chemdog
That combo actually would make it SUPER SnowDog.
Cinderella Story
Comments from MrSoul:
Ive been seeing a lot of posts from people asking for the Cinderella Story, so here it is:
In 1997, I discovered a few seeds in a bud of Jack Herer I bought @ Sensi Smile coffeeshop in Amsterdam while there to buy seeds. I didnt expect much when I grew them, but one of those seeds from the JH bud produced a very special female that I call Princess.
Therefore Princess mother was a Jack Herer (IF we can believe what Sensi Smile printed on the package) and her father is a totally unidentified mystery plant.
I also got 2 more females (Genius & CafeGirl) & several males from those seeds. I used pollen from one of the males on a heavy-yielding, dense, resinous ShivaSkunk (from Sensi Seedbank) female, then grew the resulting seeds to get males to produce pollen to cross Princess with, beginning the cubing process.
The first generation of seeds from Princess were called P.50 because they were 50% Princess. I used males from the P.50 generation to back-cross to Princess to get P.75 and again back-crossed with the P.75 pollen to get P.88 and again with the P.88 pollen to get P.94 which is Cinderella 99″, a cubed version of Princess.
The name Cinderella was chosen because of the parallels between this story and the well-known fairy tale in which Cinderella becomes a Princess despite her humble beginning. Its also VERY similar to the story of the Morgan Horse

I ALWAYS see preflowers between the age of 4 and 6 weeks. Node 6 is commonly where they start, so Id say youre probably seeing them. The plants that show first are usually males. Look over each plant carefully, using a loupe. If you see a preflower at such an early age, itll most likely be male, but be SURE before culling it. If you cant find a preflower on a plant, while most of the others HAVE shown
its most likely a female. Isnt that uniformity NICE? Cinderella 99 is a STABLE strain. Cinderella 88 was close, but this generation is there.
(Cinderella needs odor control?) I dont know if it helps you, but the scent is very sweet and fruity. It wont fool anyone whos familiar with MJ, but the average person might not recognize the scent as pot. They start to smell after 3 weeks of 12/12 and theyre harvested 4 weeks later, so the SHORT flowering cycle helps a bit by lessening the amount of time your garden stinks.
Yields are highly dependant on the methods used. Pruning style and number of plants/area make a BIG difference. I get about 2 lbs every 50 days under 2kW. I grow a combination of bushes and single-cola clones (about 12-20 of em) in 2 gallon pots of organic soil, feeding them teas of dissolved worm castings, PSG, high phosphorus bat guano and kelp meal. My yields are average at best. Professional growers write me saying they get 2lbs/kW, which Im sure is true.
The scent given off by Cinderella is NOT the typical pot stench
not at all skunky -shes sweet and fruity. Someone passing by the flowering room MIGHT not recognize the scent as pot and mistake it for tropical flowers. When you rub the resin you can definitely smell it. C-99 is more psychedelic
I think thats what youre looking for eh? Just be sure to smoke a LITTLE, wait 10 minutes, then think about whether or not you need any more
its easy to over-indulge and become paranoid.
Haze is my favourite high. Very trippy C-99 is has more of the Haze type of high because the mother (Princess), has that kind of high and each time I back-cross to her the next generation gets a bit more of it. Smoking PURE Princess buds is a bit scary
its too speedy and paranoia-inducing for most people. But shes so RESINOUS (see photo) and her flavour is just so delicious and fruity that I knew back-crossing her to her offspring over several generations would create a strain which is actually BETTER than the original mother in terms of a more PLEASING high. It was successful beyond my expectations.
The progression I went through was:
P.50 = Princess/(ShivaSkunk/PrincessBrother)
P.75 = Princess/P.50
Cinderella 88 = Princess/P.75
Cinderella 99 = Princess/Cinderella 88
The one thing i cant find is pre 98 bubba parentage anyone want to wade in ? But theres definitely some prime strains in this one so pretty excited to see what comes about.
