C99 X SSSC Skunk 1
Also known as: Pineapple Skunk
Overview
C99 X SSSC Skunk 1 is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Duke Diamond's Vault, representing a cross between Cinderella 99 (C99) and Super Sativa Seed Club's Skunk 1. This strain was developed by Duke Diamond, a Virginia-based breeder known for preserving classic old-school genetics and working with legendary strains like SSSC Skunk 1. The breeder gained recognition at the 2017 Emerald Cup for his SSSC Skunk 1 crosses, where his skunky phenotypes created significant buzz throughout the weekend.
The strain combines the fruity, tropical characteristics of Cinderella 99 with the classic earthy, skunky profile of the legendary Skunk 1 genetics from Super Sativa Seed Club. C99 contributes its fast-flowering sativa traits, pineapple aromas, and energetic cerebral effects, originally developed by Brothers Grimm from seeds found in Jack Herer. The SSSC Skunk 1 parent brings robust structure, classic skunk aroma, and the stability of one of cannabis's foundational strains. Users report the strain was colloquially called "pineapple skunk" when grown outdoors, reflecting its distinctive tropical-meets-skunk flavor profile.
The plant displays mostly sativa characteristics with a flowering time of 60-70 days (approximately 8-10 weeks) and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The strain exhibits the classic Skunk structure with strong branching and the compact, fast-flowering traits inherited from C99, making it suitable for various growing environments while maintaining the potency and distinctive aromatics of both parent strains.
