Description:
"This indoor hybrid has a high calyx/leaf ratio & finishes flowering in 7 weeks or less. Our big-yielding,
lemon-scented female clone named "Genius" because of her CLEAR, energetic, thought-provoking high was
crossed with a robust Cinderella 99 male to create Apollo Eleven. Expect some variation among individuals. The
best females are short, heavily branched plants with multitudes of dense, resinous bud sites - perfect for
SCROG. The smoke has a sweet citrus flavour. The high is UP & HAPPY." - Bros. Grimm catalog
Specifications:
Flowering: 45-50 days ``Height: 100 cm. ``Yield: 1-2 lbs per 1000W lamp.
Growers Comments:
“This Indica dominant strain was created by backcrossing a male cross of ShivaSkunk from Sensi and Princess'
brother (a JH f2) back to the ShivaSkunk mother. In "cubing" terms that would mean that your plants are
ShivaSkunk.75. Another grower I sent them to liked them a lot too. I'm glad you're having such excellent
success with my strains!” – MrSoul
"I believe Apollo 13 is P88 male X Genius (Princess' more indica type sister) but still a JH F2 from the same set
of seeds found at the 'Cafe in Adam. The new A11 is P94 or (C99 the more popular name) X Genius."
-Webfish
"GROW THE A-11 FIRST!!!, it is WORLD class smoke!!! But I have to warn you, after you have grown this cross
of Cinderella 99 and Genius, 90% of everything else you grow won't come close!!! So clone all your females, if
you let this one slip through your fingers you will be bummed!!! The bud from Apollo has a sweet fruity/citrus
taste, and a high that gives you the energy to go out and do something...even if you can't remember what it
is!!! Every one that has smoked the A (my version is the A-13, Genius crossed with Cinderella88.The A-11 is
even better then A-13 according to BG!!!) has said it is some of the best they have ever smoked!"- greenbear
"AFOAF grew some (Apollo) recently and got an indica phenotype that finished around 50 days, and a Durban
phenotype that took 60 days.
The indica phenotype is very resinous, clear high. Not racy nor paranoid. Dense buds, low odor.
The Durban phenotype has a stronger high than pure Durban, very clear, very racy, even paranoid. Buds very
fluffy, and they flop over from their own weight. Definitely a creeper phenotype in the gene pool (Durban).
The mom of A-11 is Genius, an F2 of Jack Herer crossed to an unknown male (likely a Durban imho). The dad
of A-11 is Cinderella.
Genius expresses the NL and Skunk side of the gene pool. Cindy expresses the Durban and haze side.
imho, for the A-11 to have 2 phenotypes in the F1, one of which is fluffy, sweet, and floppy like Durban, means
that the Durban gene is in both Apollo and Cindy." - Zorro

Description:
“This strain may be the "Holy Grail". The result of painstakingly backcrossing a VERY RARE female to her male
progeny over 3 generations. This hybrid was specifically bred for indoor cultivation. Short statured & heavily
branched, this plant grows LONG, dense colas with an EXTREMELY high flower/leaf ratio and OUTRAGEOUS resin
production. The breeder has observed a "giant leap" in potency with each progressive generation and, as
expected, Cinderella 99 has topped all previous results - her high is heavily influenced by Haze; clear, energetic
& devastatingly psychoactive. A plant with all of the above is rare enough, but Cinderella 99 finishes flowering
after a scant 50 days of 12/12! Above-average yields of crystal covered buds reeking of tropical fruit aromas can
be harvested every other month once a mother plant is selected and asexually propagated. One final accolade -
preliminary results from the breeder indicate Cinderella 99 will breed true..." -Brothers Grimm seedbank
Specifications:
~ Flowering: 50 days. Height: 100 cm. Yield: 1-2lbs per 1000W lamp.
Growers Comments:
“Cinderella 99 will be available from Brothers Grimm in January (’99). This is the "cubed" generation resulting
from backcrossing Princess 3 times with her successive male offspring. Expect a true-breeding strain with the
same short flowering period, tropical fruit flavour, and soaring cerebral high. “ - MrSoul
“Clone flowered under a 400watt, 42watts/sq.ft. Grown organically in a soilless medium, 1:1:1 ratio of GOOD
potting mix, perlite, & worm castings. Finished about 16"-18" tall. Nice high flower to leaf ratio, manicuring would
be a breeze if it didn't have so much resin globbed all over it. Nugs were dense for a 400watt, but not tight like
they are under the big lights. I flowered for 53 days, last 24 hours no light. I alternated Big Bloom & Hi-P fishes
(Neptune’s Harvest) for food. Total yield about 15gm of very frosty & very potent well manicured buds. Good
flavor, but a STRONG smoke. Very "up" high. I can get a lot done instead of just vegging. By far the best I've
grown. No shit.” – Bill Clinton
“C88 is the best so far. It has blown the socks off every Dutch variety I've grown for all around goodness.” – flwr
smkr
“The photo at the web site is Cafe'Girl, she is the sister of Princess (Cinderella 88's mom). Cafe'Girl is the seed
mother I'm using to produce "Dylan's Diamond" which will be released in January 1999. She's a beauty - BIG
yielder of super DENSE, crystalized buds in fairly LOW light levels. Scent/flavour is very much like ginger ale.” –
MrSoul
“Princess was obtained from growing out seeds found in buds of Jack Herer that was purchased in Amsterdam at
the "Sensi-Smile" coffee shop, an authorized outlet of Sensi Seed Bank. Thus, it is considered to be an f2
generation Jack Herer. The seeds were found only in the deepest part of the buds indicating that the father was
an unusually early-maturing JH that the growers missed at first.” - MrSoul
"Princess is a female which resulted from a seed found in a Jack Herer bud I bought in Amsterdam near the
Sensi Seed Bank at "Coffeeshop Sensi Smile". The bud came in a 2 gr. cello-pack with the Sensi logo; I
expected sinsemilla, but it had about 10 seeds so I assume she's an F2 JH. Her characteristics were so fine I
wanted to create seeds that would "replicate" this plant. She has the KILLER Haze-influenced high with the most
DELICIOUS pineapple/evil scent, 50 day maturation in 12/12, and incredible resin production, doesn’t stretch -
yet clearly Sativa-dominant! Last but not least: Never a hint of hermaphrodism after 2 years of cloning & many
different styles of grow.
I wanted to "cube" Princess but add a little beef to her branches because the buds were always too heavy at
harvest and branches needed staking to keep from flopping over. I crossed my ShivaSkunk female with one of
the males from the same group of seeds that Princess came from. THIS cross produced a male which was then
crossed to Princess, creating "P.50" (using a shorthand notation I developed to indicate the fraction of Princess
genes in the cross).
Each generation is the result of crossing a male from the previous generation to Princess herself (incestuous, I
know).
Blow-by-blow description of the generations:
P.50 = Heavy, single-cola type plants with mellow high (too much influence from the ShivaSkunk) Sweet fruity
scent/flavor. Unstable in most traits - for example, 10 days difference in fastest/slowest maturation period in a
group of 20 seedlings.
P.75 = Plants leaning MUCH more in the direction of Princess in floral cluster and bud structure, scent/flavor
turned more "tropical" like pineapple. The stability was becoming better - two major phenotypes; short & dense
(potent too) or tall/HUGE (Not so potent).
P.88 = Renamed Cinderella 88 when first released on the market. It grows fast and produces excellent yields of
FROSTY buds in 7 weeks! Generally uniform seedlings with minor differences in floral formation and some height
variance, but the smoke is quite consistent from all plants - Dense, heavy nuggets of fruity scented & flavored
(like wild berries) and covered in resin glands, the dried buds have distinctly ORANGE pistils.
And now P.94 = Cinderella 99. This project has been a huge success. The strain has been embraced by the
"net"work of growers with rave reviews. The Bros. Grimm too have been recognized for their excellent
combination of quality products and unparalleled service after the sale. There's NO OTHER seed bank that has
it's breeders on the net answering questions from "newbies" 40 hours/week, and the info is first-rate; even
details of their breeding strategies are openly discussed so that the seed buyer can feel well-informed about the
products BG offer.
I personally think the plants these Cinderella 99 seeds produce are every bit as good as a cutting from Princess
herself (or better). I say better because the flavor of no two plants is "identical"; there's a personality to all
living things. Like Princess herself, Cinderella is sweet & fruity to the palette and nose, and when you take a hit
you're BLASTED...with the same "racy" high as Princess! The improvement comes in the yield department; 25%
greater yield and a stronger branch structure, which I accomplished by starting with some ShivaSkunk genes in
the original father in the cubing process. I knew I'd blend out the majority of the traits from ShivaSkunk in the
cubing process, but I was hoping to incorporate the ShivaSkunk's stronger branches because Princess had a
tendency to need supports in the final two weeks of flowering. As it turns out, I got lucky and it worked. The
name suits the strain IMO - it’s a true Cinderella Story.” - MrSoul
“Jack Herer is an unstable strain bred from an unequal combination of Sk#1, NL#5, and Haze. Crossing a male
and female Jack Herer creates an F2 generation which has a HUGE number of possible recombinations of the
genes. I grew out some Jack Herer F2s and discovered a SPECIAL one, "Princess", which has many
improvements on the original JH such as a shorter flowering time, denser bud structure and pineapple
scent/flavour. I have been continually back crossing Princess with her male offspring (generation after
generation) which eventually creates a stabilized strain having her special characteristics found reliably in most
females grown from those seeds. Each generation is composed of a 50% genetic contribution from Princess
(since she's the seed parent) and a 50% contribution from the pollen parent (which also has an increasing
percentage of Princess' genetics with each generation). The progression goes: P.50, P.75, P.88, P.94, and
P.97...at that point it's considered stabilized (a male and female P.97 can be crossed and the offspring are
essentially the same as the parents). I have been VERY pleased with the way this project is going; even the
P.75 generation was rather stable in the sense that the individuals were all rather uniform and HIGH quality. The
P.88 seeds are available now, and the P.94 will be available around Christmas time. So, you see, since I have
combined genes from Sk#1, NL#5, and Haze, creating a plant which has characteristics distinctly different than
Jack Herer, and I'm creating a stable strain from this plant... it's legitimately MY work.” – MrSoul
“I used Shiva Skunk from Sensi Seeds as a minor component in the development of Cinderella …. I crossed a
fine female Shiva Skunk with a brother of Princess, then grew a male from those seeds to begin the cubing
process with.” - MrSoul
“C99 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...it's too
"speedy" and paranoia-inducing for most people. But she's 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/Princess'Brother)
P.75 = Princess/P.50
Cinderella 88 = Princess/P.75
Cinderella 99 = Princess/Cinderella 88
Each generation exhibited a MAJOR jump in potency (P.50 was rather mellow)...P.75 has a well-balanced
body/mind high with a citrus flavour, Cinderella 88 is cerebral & paralyzing with a tropical fruit flavour, and
Cinderella 99 is "TRIP WEED"...with more of the fruity flavour and speedy effect from Princess.” - MrSoul
“Princess.75 finished outside in northern Kentucky Oct 15, (killer smoke!) The 99's should also, I would think. I
do intend to find out! No mold and it was quite wet too.” – 27yrs
“I grew out Cinderella 88 and in my experience the Great White Shark is a more interesting line although
admittedly my luck with C88 was not the best. The one female I was vouchsafed grows more like a vine then a
tree and is difficult to clone and cultivate. However the psychoactivity of the floral clusters is very intense and the
stone is complex and very cerebral. This is a very potent plant, indeed. But if I didn't know it was Cindy, I
confess I might have let this plant go a while ago. As it is I am trying to find ways to accommodate the plant's
finickiness because of its lineage. But I wonder if the BG's cross between the original princess and a Green
House male White Widow (Ice Princess) might not be a more propitious way of including Bg's Princess genetics
in one's garden. The hybrid vigor that results from crossing two great plants of differing genetic backgrounds
creates the best stock for cultivation, in my opinion.” – Moose
“I want to comment that your result with the Cinderella 88 is NOT typical: I have grown an awful lot of them, and
I have never seen one that was remotely "vine-like". They're usually Sativa-dominant hybrid phenotype with
moderate leaf width, short & stocky stature, heavy branching, extremely high flower/leaf ratio and unparalleled
resin production. The flowering plants smell like fruity cotton-candy. In my experience, they usually root through
a 2 inch rockwool cube in 10 days...and I don't even use rooting hormones.” –MrSoul
“Cinder: There's been a lot of talk about this strain. All I can say is that I'm very glad I grew this one. Fast, nice
yields, great high. Harvested at 49 days--maybe even a little too long. While most really bite ya in the ass, the
occasional bud out of my jar is simply wicked. I actually got lost a few blocks from my house--shit that hasn't
happened in 10 years.” - shaggy
“There are 10 C99's flowering at day 32 in the hydroponics online 2-liter bottle ebb-and flow system using GH
nutes and Pure blend at about 1600 ppm(they could probably take more!!). I have to say these plants are
unbelievable! The situation is that the buds are becoming too heavy for the branches, including some of the
colas. It looks like some of the side buds will be scraping the floor by harvest!” - KGB
“I agree that c99 appears to be something special. Great resin production, great density at 28 days. Still no
major odor(yet.) The thin leaves allow great light penetration. Sometime in the future I will do a whole garden of
Cindy. What GH mix are you using on the c99 right now? She has been the most finicky feeder I’ve ever met.” –
kaka
“C-99 is very uniform. I have 4 females grown from seed that just finished their 4th week of flowering, and the
only variation seems to be their height, the shortest being 3.5 feet and the tallest 4.5 feet, and all were topped
once. They were started under a 400 watt MH for the first month and have been getting a full 12 hours per day
of sunlight since then, and their cola's are HUGE. Wait'll you see how well they do under natural sunlight.” – Rex
Feral
"My estimate for Northern States would be early October. I have a friend who was growing it outdoors in Maine
(48 degrees N?), it was about 3 weeks from finished in mid-September. Unfortunately, his outdoor grow was
ripped off. If you're growing in an area prone to mold, you may have problems, but it's difficult to say because
in the Northeast we don't have such a problem with mold. I can only tell you that the buds are DENSE (you HAVE
seen the photos, haven't you?)...so it could be susceptible to mold." -MrSoul
“If its Fruit Punch that you want, you should check out "Cinderella 88"….I've smoked the mother that this is the
backcross of, and YEEEEHAW she kicks ass. The smell is very similar to the Hawaiian... think back to when you
(ok I) was a kid... remember Bubbalicious? Or Hubba Bubba chewing gum? Think about the tropical fruit flavor,
and there ya go-- thats what it smells like... A sickly sweet fruit punch gum, a little undertone of "stink" to go
with it. A first class high too... (Not to turn this into an advertisement, just a recommendation, but I've
personally tried this strain and it will do it for you just like the Hawaiian).” - Shabang
“I'm kind of trying for either Kali Mist or their Himalayan Gold, essentially I’m looking for a badass sativa high
that I can grow manageably indoors. -See if you can get Cinderella 88 from Mike at Weedseed. I've personally
tried this smoke and it is the best, most lucid sativa high you could ask for. The breeder put a lot of time and
talent into this one! Kumquat I do have 3 6' princess " crosses in my garden. They are nothing like the j. herer
growing with them, as someone mentioned...looks closer to Ncga’s BW but with a more sativa look. The plants
preflowered in early June which made it much easier to plan the garden spacing, although I had no idea these
would get so tall. The secondary branching is quite thick and well developed with tight node spacing so looks to
be a good yielder. It has handled our 100+ degree days w/o any problems, unlike the j. Herer (only minor probs
with them) and even took on a Great Dane bending one over flat on the ground! It sprung right back after a bit
of temporary splinting and bracing to be the fattest plant in the garden...which btw, includes most of the "hot"
seedbank offerings of last year.” - Desert Rat (a.k.a. M.G.)
“My head just turned full circle...This shit is good! I have to say to the brothers...Cinders passes the test with
flying colours...the effect is very heady and almost hallucinogenic...very much like a potent version of silver
pearl... with a smoother, fruitier taste and no nasty tickle at the back of the throat.” – Mike
“I can only answer question #3 (Does it have as strong a sativa high as haze or Durban?)… WAY STRONGER!!! At
least the sample of Cinderella 88 I had was. Very tight nugs too! It was grown indoors so I expect the outdoors
to be even better (just the way it turns out for me). Very fruity, mellow hitting and easy to take in too much as it
has a definite creep to it. The buzz is very sativa-ish and tends to make the mind wonder when trying to find
something. But the energy to keep looking is there! I highly recommend it! But keep a bowl of some nice indica
nearby to mellow it out! All above is strictly MHO and based on MY experience.” - dead man talking a.k.a. M.G.
“The only person I know who has disliked Soul's weed is BB. Taste is a personal thing but I think we know that
politics may have also played a role there. The buds of the ones I'm growing out are dense and sticky. The
plants are a little small for my liking and probably won't make the grade, but it is obvious that it is high grade
bud.” - Vic High
“The princess I have smoked was indoor grown by a friend of mine. It is a VERY heavy sativa high bordering on
paranoia at times. I found it's best when there's a bowl of a nice indica around to mellow out the edge. 3 tokes
do the trick (it creeps up in about 15-20 minutes)! Very nice sweet, fruity flavor and tight nuggets. The plants I
have growing outdoors in the hot desert are doing great. They have the typical sativa x-mas tree shape and
very hardy. Planted 6 eggs, got 5 plants with 3 being female. It will become a permanent fixture in my garden!”
- Desert Rat
“Remember that Cinderella (88) is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, so you can expect it to be a LITTLE "leggy” when
grown from seed. However clones from a good mother will stay quite short - I flower 12" clones for 7 weeks in
2-gal containers of organic soil to produce a 2.5' plant which yields about 2 ounces. Yes, "crystal" production is
AMAZING...the stalked resin glands appearing on bud leaves as early as 3 weeks of flowering look like white
FUR!” - MrSoul

"My report on C99....
1. Bought 10 seeds for 150 from Heavens Stairway. Took 10 days to get to me in Alaska June of 99
2. 9 out of 10 successfully germinated and grew into healthy plants
3. Kept 5 of those. Gave 4 to a buddy who pitched in for the seeds. All 5 of mine turned out to be female. Don't
know about his.
I used pro-mix soil. This is a sterilized and nutritionless product. Make sure to add perlite 30%. By itself,
pro-mix and 7.5ph tap water comes out 5.5ph so make sure you add lime to your mix. Add lime until you get a
6.3 or so pH. This is important I used one-gal containers.
I used GH nutes 1/2/3 ratio for grow and 3/2/1 for flowering, 1100-1450ppm at 6.3-6.6 pH. Make sure to check
your overflow water after each watering for PPM. If you do this you will catch any overfert in time. You will find
that about every 3rd water should be plain water or you will overfert. I've had 2200 PPM overflow water at times
due to laziness and not checking.
1000mh about 40w/square ft
4. Took 50 clones and 95% were successful and rooted in about 7 days
5. Cinderella is a most interesting hybrid. It was selected/bred for indoor cultivation. It is a short, plant with
dense colas. The most interesting and handy feature is that you can actually tell the sex when the plant reaches
about 12-14 inches tall. If it is a female, the two telltale pistils are evident at this point.
6. On my 5 females, I put them on 12/12 when they reached 24 inches. They started flowering by day two and
explode within 10 days. You can harvest in 50 days
7. They have a fantastically pleasant fruity smell and you can see the resin with 10 days or so. They produce
and excellent yield, require very little time to cut and trim off of the plant when you harvest, and the high is
great. A creative, up high. Puts you in a good mood and gets you doing things. A friend of mine said she
cleaned her whole house and had a good time doing it - You find humor in everything.
I have only praise for this plant and a tip of the hat to the Brothers Grimm. Thanks Guys" -Mr. Worthington
"Nexus> I have a Flat ScrOG that's W=3ft,L=6ft,H=1ft from bottom of plants. My screen is 2 ft from a 1k hps
air-cooled + on a light rail III, Well my question is how violent of a stretcher is c99 and how much of the screen
should I let her fill up? I don't want c99 stretching so much she hits the light and burns,
##########################################
=Soul=> I flower my clones at 12" tall and they end flowering @ 2 ft tall yielding from 1 to 2 ounces dry. You
should let the branches grow to 8" above your screen then switch to 12/12. The final height will be less than 2 ft,
allowing your lamp enough distance from the plants (the light mover HELPS).
Nexus> I got 4 c99s and 6 Mr. Nices in the screen growing in a drip/NFT custom made system. I am about 1-2
weeks away from flowering depending on c99? Also how powerful of a yielder is c99, I have heard sooooooo
much spam in the past about her.
######################################
=Soul=>It's easy to be misconstrued as "spam" when a strain is getting valid positive feedback as we've seen in
the case of the Cinderella line. It's truly impressive to have combined rapid flowering and hermaphrodite
resistance in a potent, tasty, good-yielding, true strain. That's BOUND to earn some glowing reviews.
To illustrate the yield I'll simply say that a 12" clone of C99 consistently flowers into a 2-foot tall plant with an
average yield of 1.5 ounces, depending on how densely they're arranged. I have found that 40 clones (10 RW
slabs @ 4 plants per slab) in a 4'x8' area is about optimal. I grow the plants with single colas, or at most, two
main colas. They are supported by using twist-ties to attach each cola to wires running the length of the rows.
This increases yield by forcing the garden into a light-efficient profile. When you let the colas "fall all over one
another" the final 2 weeks of this abuse takes its toll on bud production. It's best to keep them well
supported...you'll get a fine yield.
One C99 distinction that helps is the high flower to leaf ratio. When your buds are made up of MOSTLY flowers
and less leaf - that's a BETTER kind of yield." -Soul

Growers Comments:
“Jack Flash does go a bit long in the flowering, it grows in two types one very Sat/Haze influenced, tall 5'-6' with
huge "Heads on Sticks" that dried at over 1 oz. each! there were 5 of them on one lady in a 5 gal pot, she
took about 76 days, but was worth every day. The other type grows very Indica-like, there was one special lady
like this type, that was very fruity with a nice trippy high that gave way to a indica high after the first hour and
the indica-dom. takes about 60 days to flower, also very well worth the wait, several connoisseurs said that it
was amongst the best Indica they had ever smoked, and the taste cured is fantastic. And the strain is very
easy to take care of. It was really nice, and it yields great in both forms. Out of 7-8 different strains grown
Romberry and Jack Flash are definite repeats, as they are both in the Veg closet again. There's really only one
place to get Sensi stock (IMO) but the price is OK considering they give ya 16 beans, in that respect there only
a/b 5$ each. Sorry for the long post but its a favorite and I wanted to give ya my $.02.” - Budm
“Afoaf has grown and continues to grow Jack Flash, its a great strain, although variable, IMO the variations are
unique and all are quality in there own way. Here's the way the first grow went, 3 ladies were in pots of BCGA's
Super Soil recipe, there were 3 different ladies, one was in a 5 gal pot she was a haze dominated phenotype,
she grew out in a "heads on stick" fashion, big huge heads, she was toped once at the 6 node, she grew into 6
big heads, each dried to 20-35 grams she yielded just over 5 oz's, of great tasting wake and bake, uplifting
sativa smoke. Another lady was sort of the runt, she was in a 3 gal pot also pinched at the 6th node, she had
more of a indica phenotype, nice tight colas with red pistils, great smoke very fruity, but yield was bad, at
about 20 grams. The 3rd lady was awesome, also in a 3 gal pot, pinched at the 6th node, she grew the
densest nugs, smelled like lemon, tasted like lemon/hash, and the high was awesome, trippy and thought
provoking, but its best attribute was its wonderful taste, she yielded about 1.5 oz. All said I really like this
strain. The haze influenced lady was crossed with a Posi Big Bud in hopes of bring down its size (5.5') and
flower time 63 days under 80 watts/s.f. of mixed spectrum light.” -Budm
“This is a really good plant. it finished at 50 days has a lemon taste/ with a peppery aftertaste. High is UP with
no sleepiness. I was afraid that it would be too similar to my Cinderellas due to their background, but the Jack
Flash is very different in taste and high. jack flash is lemony and Cindy is like pineapple . one is sweet while
the other is sour. The only drawback is an increased paranoia level. The up high does also create a slightly
discomforting "edge" , but Its mixed in with a lot of laughing (which I like), and creativity (strange but
intriguing ideas), aphrodisiac effect ( a must, he he)and yield (big calyxy buds) I highly recommend this for
someone looking for an up high, lemon taste, and good yield.” - Triage

Growers Comments:
“Jack Herer = Sk#1 X NL#5 X Haze. This multi cross has been stabilized over the past couple of years and is
now reported to be very even and consistent.”
“I grew Jack one time. The plants varied incredibly. One plant was done in 7 weeks. Very indica predominant.
Dark, lush, green. Dense buds with a deep sweet odor. Great heavy indica buzz. At the other end of the
spectrum, I had one plant that took 10 weeks to finish. This one was very haze predominant. Taller, lighter in
color and scent, but the buzz was strong with the heart pounding sensation of the haze. Wow, my first real
strong haze buzz..... So I would have to say that Jack Herer is an excellent but very inconsistent strain.
Although all the plants had excellent results when finished, I found that growing jack in a smaller growing setup
(less than 10 plants) was sort of frustrating because of the 3-week difference in finishing times. So in
conclusion, if you grow jack keep your eyes open for both very early and late finishers. The wait, although
seemingly forever, was well worth it.” – smoking man
“Pros: Grows well, healthy, vigorous, bushy plants, lots of foliage and big (forearm sized) colas. Seemed to
clone well, good yield. Fairly smooth smoke with a sweet citrus smell/taste.
Cons: Medium-long flowering period, not nearly as potent as one would expect from all of the hype. There are
many more potent varieties that have a significantly shorter flowering period, IMHO; I don't think I'll do it
again. A friend who also grew it had the same opinion. AK47 still has my vote; just over six weeks to finish and
very potent.” - Sabre
“This light forest-green colored bud is made even lighter by its tiny white crystals and long, thick brick-colored
hairs that are few but noticeable. The buds seem to be made up of smaller buds and clusters, sort of like
grapes. This bio has a mellow, steady, sweet, green smell with just a hint of that skunkiness that we love.
Dense buds surround tiny (and tasty) stems. The smoke is tasty, sweet and smooth with just a slight
expansion in the lungs. The high is quick and expands for quite some time with stony, visual, and a bit silly
effects. ***1/2

Growers Comments:
“This sweetly scented mix is forest green in color with few, long, brown hairs. The bud structure is lent from its
Hearer lineage, while the color is most certainly descendent from the Haze. The buds swell oddly like freshly
shaven carrots, and are very sticky when broken up. The nodes are coated in white crystals. When smoked, the
bud releases thick clouds of sweet, tangy, tasty smoke which expand substantially in the lungs. The high hits
quickly and really sends you for a whirl – it is visual and Trippy. This mix surely brings out the best in both
buds.****1/2” – Homepage Amsterdam

“I ordered the Polm special from Jock. He said it was Jack Herer.”
“I have just finished some of Jock's Posi Jack Herer and have one that keeps on adding to its white, fat cola
like the Eveready bunny. It just won't quit after 11 weeks, although harvesting time is prolly within a week or
two. Think you will like it. Nice profile, short internodes, average harvest from 12/12 light set has been around
9 weeks.....typical indica/sativa leaf, excellent calyx/leaf ratio, great high that's creeper...3 good tokes and
you're good for the night. Doing a seed program and am coveting the seeds on this one.” – Uncle Ben Dejo
“I have been expressing my opinion that I haven't been really impressed with Dutch strains, but Jesus H.
Christ, me and the lady smoked some of the Posi Jack Herer last night and were really blown away. I have
finished a grow which was for seed production primarily, and have slowly but surely tasting the buds from
various strains over a period of a few months, and am still not finished, however.....
The Jack Herer is definitely Wacky Weed. I mean this stuff is like being in Alice of Wonderland! Creeper weed,
nice body stone, very potent head stuff which is psychedelic and just plain goofy! We must have laughed and
played head games until we settled in for the night.
I have never complained about the grow profile of the limited Dutch strains I have grown, and this particular
plant had 1/2" internodes, huge thick colas (yeah, it's the one that went a little moldy).
Got 4 3/4" oz of sensi (minus the seeds buds) from a 27" plant. My journal on this states: "Short internodes,
dark leaves, bushy, 11 leaves per leafset, hybrid, heavy profuse flowering."
Now....this is what's just plain fascinating....this lady leaves a distinct taste and feel on the palate that is like a
very subtle menthol taste, somewhat piney and having a fresh earthy taste. It leaves an interesting aftertaste
like a fine wine would - very pleasant. Anyone else have this type of palate experience?” – Uncle Ben

“(Sk#1 x NL#5) x (Sk#1 x NL#5 x Haze)) x (Sk#1 x NL#5 x Haze)
6 seedlings are off to the races. Princess was obtained from growing out seeds found in buds of Jack Herer that
was purchased in Amsterdam at the "Sensi-Smile" coffee shop, an authorized outlet of Sensi Seed Bank. Thus,
it is considered to be an f2 generation Jack Herer. The seeds were found only in the deepest part of the buds
indicating that the father was an unusually early-maturing JH that the growers missed at first.
Princess smells very much like pineapple both during flowering and when dried, but there's this "evil" scent in it
too, like rotting meat, which has been linked with the most devastating weed (notably the Durban/Thai hybrid
from SSSC, years ago). The taste is connoisseur quality when it's cured; VERY fruity. The high is almost too
intense for a lot of people. Dr. atomic actually refused to smoke any on our second meeting, after getting
rather "hazed and confused" on the first sampling we did together a couple of weeks before, so he decided to
try Shiva Skunk and found that more mellow and to his liking. Two hits of Princess will induce your body to
tremble involuntarily and your heart to race and paranoid thoughts...very much like Haze, but not quite as
intense. It also has a "creeper" quality that makes it easy to over-indulge...you get progressively higher during
the first 10 minutes after smoking. Look at the May '98 issue of High Times' centerfold and find "Yellow
Cab"...that's EXACTLY what the finished Princess buds look like. The "frosting" of stalked, capitate trichomes
on the flowers and smaller leaves gives them a "furry" appearance much like Haze.
Princess grows vigorously, and is rapidly maturing...6 to 7 weeks of 12/12. It feeds heavily and requires about
50% stronger nutrient solution than an Indica does. It stays short, for a Sativa-dominant strain, and finishes at
about 3 ft indoors. The yield from such a plant is about 20 grams.
Mr Soul has been "cubing" the clone of Princess so the seed line will be Princess. The father is Shiva Skunk. He
is currently growing out Princess.75 to obtain males for the creation of Princess.88. Seeds of the 0.88
generation will be ready by mid-July and should produce excellent plants, albeit not perfectly stable yet...but
nearly. He plans to back-cross once more after that to arrive at 0.94 Princess genetics, which should be a
stable, true-breeding seed line with females "replicating" Princess reliably.
This strain is exactly what most people believe doesn't exist; a Sativa which grows VERY well indoors, stays
short, and matures as rapidly as an Indica (faster than many), and has the great KILLER Sativa high/flavor.
The yield is fine too. Mr Soul finds that the Indica strains are too leafy/stalky and much goes to waste with
them, whereas Princess has an extremely high flower/leaf ratio and therefore almost no waste.
“Current crop is Jack Herer x Unknown (Nickname - Jack's Heir): Seeds - I bought a 2 gram bag of Jack Herer
buds (1996 Cannabis Cup winner) in Amsterdam at "Sensi Smile" coffee shop on Achterburghwal straat. The
buds were supposed to be sinsemilla, but I was pleasantly surprised to find about a dozen seeds in the bud. I
found the high to be cerebral and energetic, but not too long lasting; the buds appeared almost white due to
resin coating. Of the 6 seeds I attempted to germinate, every one was successful and I got a 50%
male/female ratio. Seedlings - Very consistent and uniform in looks and growth pattern (surprising since Jack
Herer is a three-way hybrid itself). Rapid growers. Typical internodal spacing for a hybrid. Appearance shows
signs of both Indica and Sativa heritage. Large, broad bladed leaves, but lighter green in color than typical
Indica. Somewhere in between stature.
Mother plants (J1 and J3) - Grow vigorously and bushy. J1 is the hardiest looking of the two females.
Father plants (J2 and J4) - Grow vigorously and bushy. J4 is the hardiest looking of the two males (surprisingly,
this J4 grew from a seed I'd characterize as a "runt", about half the size of his siblings' seeds). Unfortunately
all clones of J4 were lost and I have only a "decent" supply of pollen from his flowers.
Clones - Very quick to root (10 - 14 days) with a success rate of 90 to 100%. Several small, poorly rooted
clones eventually came around and flowered nicely. Rooting occurs independent of the method used; RW
cubes with pH 6 or 5.8, Rootone or not, seems to make little difference.
Flowering - Once rooted, the RW cube is buried up to it's top in a 6 inch round pot of 50% perlite 50% Hyponex
Professional Soil Mix, fertilized initially with Miracle Grow 15-30-15 at 1/2 tsp. per gal of pH 6.5 water. Once
looking well at 12cm tall, flowering is begun with a 12hr light/dark cycle. During the first week they "shoot" up
30 to 50cm with large fan leaves but suddenly look over-fertilized (Miracle Grow has urea-based nitrogen) with
curling at the tips of the leaves. They respond virtually overnight to a good, thorough leaching with plain water,
then they take on a dark green color and start to "bud out" rather than get taller. After the first week of
flowering, feeding is switched to Shultz's Bloom 10-60-10 at 1/2 tsp. per gal of pH 6.5 water; I soak the pots
and wait a couple days until they get lightweight before the next good soaking. Flowers appear Sativa-like and
extremely resinous, except that they continue to get progressively fatter and denser, much heavier buds than
the Jack Herer itself does. I would guess that the father of the seeds was a skunk or similar strain, since the
calyx to leaf ratio is so high; the flowers just keep sprouting out in all directions from the bud with only tiny,
resin coated leaflets interspersed between flower clusters. The leaves, all but the fan leaves, are covered in
stalked resin glands from base to tip. Sample smoking of immature buds which were culled (tried to flower
them in RW cubes but they died) after two or three weeks of flowering proved to have a sweet, skunky taste
and produced a very "happy" high, not at all paranoia-inducing. The finished product should be excellent.
Currently, I have several healthy, rapidly budding clones that are in their third week of flowering and they may
well finish before their eighth week. The lowest four branches of one J1 clone were selectively pollinated using
the J4 male's pollen and should yield roughly 50 seeds. My hope is that these seeds will produce plants with a
great variety of fine characteristics. The outstanding gene pool should ensure that, inbreeding concerns aside.
Then I'll have a great breeding project: trying to select individuals for future crosses which will incorporate the
best characteristics of that diverse group.” - Mr Soul
Strain: Rosetta Stone
Strain Type: Sativa/Indica mix Origin: Holland Breeder: Mr Soul

Description:
Rosetta Stone is a fast-flowering plant with heavy resin production and average yield. It clones remarkably well
and is generally an easy plant to work with. It was created by pollinating a unique Ginger-Ale female (Ginger
Ale makes the densest nuggets we've ever seen) with a male we've tracked for a long time as a reliable
resin-enhancing father. Rosetta Stone is a super potent, wonderfully sweet, fruity smelling, perfectly balanced
Sativa/Indica hybrid. A definate keeper in any connoisseurs garden. - Bros. Grimm seed catalog
Specifications:
Flowering: 50-55 days ~ Height: 120 cm ~ Yield: 1-2 lbs per 1000W lamp.
Growers Comments:
"I like growing rapidly-maturing strains with very high flower/leaf ratios. I choose plants that produce big,
dense buds frosted with resin glands.
I can't STAND leafy strains.
Princess has a sister I call "Cafe' Girl", which makes a GREAT production plant. Her flowering time is just under
7 weeks of 12/12. The colas are BIG and DENSE and RESINOUS. Her buds taste like Ginger Ale & the high is
quite like the old Colombian Gold we used to smoke in the late 70's...very warm, friendly and non-paranoia
inducing.
She's an excellent yielding plant to boot; I could fill my 4'x8' flowering space with 40 clones of Cafe' Girl and
easily yield 60 ounces of Grade "A" sinse...that's an average of 1.5 ounces per plant even @ 1.25 plants per
square foot!
Cafe' Girl is the mother of "Rosetta Stone", a White Widow hybrid." -Soul

Growers Comments:
“The Willy Jack Jack Herer is a domestically produced version of the Sensi original. I found the genetics to be
pretty messy, in that there was a great deal of variation between the different plants. however, the mother I
went with has a relatively short flowering period (about 60-65 days) and big crystal formation, and it was
definitely worth the meager price and growing them out to find the best one. the high is very active / cerebral,
but you can still feel the indica. in my opinion, it's like a skunk that is more heavily influenced on the sativa
side. if you flush it properly or grow organic, it should end up tasting sort of like pecans...
Jack Herer is a high light plant. for good bud density you'll need at least 30 watts / sq. foot. I don't know why
it's such a bitch, probably the haze presence (Jack Herer = haze x nl #5 x skunk #1 ) makes it a bit of a pain
in the butt to grow. likes to stretch if you let it. tie the girl down!!! All in all, recommended.” -frank white
“Mine does have nutty flavor but with an undertone of catpiss.....good high....good crystals...stretches like
crazy but flower time is good....55-60 days. Definitely worth the price if you can grow out several to find a good
momma.” – Capn Howdy
