Star 99
Star 99 is a modern hybrid lineage resulting from a cross of Cinderellas. As a contemporary development in cannabis breeding, it has been cultivated to reach maturity within a 63-day flowering window. This strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a high yield, though it maintains a moderate level of difficulty for those overseeing its development.
The chemical profile of Star 99 is defined by a terpene composition led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These compounds coordinate to shape the aromatic and sensory identity of the plant. The influence of myrcene provides the foundation of the scent, while the secondary presence of caryophyllene and the tertiary inclusion of limonene add nuance to the overall profile.
Regarding its physiological impact, Star 99 is a THC-dominant variety known to induce states of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a candidate for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its genetic influence continues in the industry through its notable offspring, Cheestar 99.
