My interactions with both Rick & Laura have been negative. I ordered some beans directly from their website, an error occurred on checkout but I was still charged for the seeds. It took over a week just to get an e-mail back so I had to dispute the charge with my bank. Iāll just put it this way their customer service leaves much to be desired, I was flabbergasted by the way they handled the whole situation Iāll just leave it at that because Iām not into trashing people. Iām new to this forum and I know people will probably doubt what Iām saying for that reason alone but I have zero reason to lie and have proof of documentation on the whole situation. For what itās worth, all Iāll say is buy at your own risk.

The original C99 is still one of the best strains Iāve seen grown to this day. I didnāt even have my own garden yet the first time I saw her grow in 2001. I was helping a buddy (the guy who got me started growing). He was running new packs of seeds every run, looking for something great. He tried the c99 on a whim and it was a game changer.
Iāll never forget that first harvest. He was running a GH Aeroflo 60 (in the staggered configuration). We did a crop of c99 and he got his best yield to date (I want to say 180ozās). It was done in 50-55 days and stunk to high heaven! I remember hanging buds on a drying line in his basement. It stretched the length of his basement and we filled it up. I was in awe.
I was pretty young at the time and still living at home. I remember leaving 1 little bud of the c99 laying out and when I came back home the entire house stunk! not even kidding. The smell hit me in the face the second I opened our side door.
Iāve thought about ordering c99 seeds a few times since brotherās Grimm made their comeback. But Iām doubtful I could even smoke it anymore. I think it would probably give me a panic attack. lol
I havenāt looked through this thread yet, but has anyone here grown the original c99 and the new release? If so, how do they compare? I read mixed reviews when Brothers Grimm first re-released the c99.

I havenāt personally ran his old C99 or his ānewā C99. But from what Iāve read his newer version of C99 is absolutely nothing like the original. I think he had to use new parents to create the current C99 because his old parental stock got lost or something along those lines.

Iāve grown the original and currently have the C99xx Pineapple version ready to harvest any day now. The pineapple version seems pretty damn close in smell and structure. Sample buds, cut a week ago, have been straight to head and and a racy high. I had read the same stuff about the new c99 so thatās why I went with the pineapple version. I am extremely satisfied with this strain.

Well Rick finally came through and I appreciate it. I just wish we had a better interaction at first. But mistakes happen - weāre only human after all.

I came here to say that if youāre new to growing(like me) and Brothers Grimm tester packs is something that has popped up on your radar in a huge way(also like me) and they have what you want in stock, get them NOW while you can. I missed the opportunity to grab the Romulan x Airborne and the Grimm truffles tester packs before they were sold out and have been waiting for a restock for a couple of months and it just dawned on me that the testing phase is probably over with. That being said, Iām watching what these guys are offering and will probably decide on another strain or 2 to try, soonāish. Love the work theyāre doing and love the appreciation that you members of OG have for them!

Shouldnāt of missed out on the 4/20 sale, they were doing the tester packs for $12.50 a pack versus the usual $25 or so that they usually go for.

Better luck next time my friend! Around 4/20 is when everything is on sale and youāll get the best deals on seeds from vendors/breeders. edit I actually got these for the Black Friday special not on 4/20, my mistake! Black Friday youāll get the killer deals too.

This is my first grow since 2017 so I figured I would try these out to get dialed back in and Iām very pleasantly surprised so far

There is a sale going on over on his site if you are interested in picking up some of his stuff. Just pulled the trigger on some of the C99 regulars.

If Iām not mistaken they added a new tester strain a couple days ago called the āEleventh Hourā, a gluey x airborne cross.

@BRMTreefarmer Is this the sale youāre talking about? I noticed the limited edition testers are still going for $25, I noticed only one strain for $20.

What a great thread!
When I began seriously growing, around 2008, the two strains to grow were White Widow and C99. Problem was you couldnāt find any C99 seeds back then, or I couldnāt. Think there were some out of Canada, but then there was customs to deal with. How times have changed!
When Moscaās C99 became available, I snatched some, and grew her out 3-4 times, 10 years ago or so. I just remember monster plants, pineapple flavor, racy, old school, '70ās high but very short in duration. I stopped running her because the high was so short, she just wasnāt very potent.
Now the real deal is Bohdiās F3 Apollo 11, think Iāve still got some of those seeds. Think he described is pineapple Cheetos, and thatās very accurate, just delicious. But the kicker was it was the quickest flowering plant Iāve ever grown, 6 1/2 weeks on the nose, every time. I still have 6 of the original seeds, and a bunch of F2 crosses I made. I found a Sannieās Jack x Apollo 11 cross in my stash, now thatās got to be interesting!! Hereās a few pics of the Apollo 11. She also had a great high, zero paranoia, yet very clear, trippy, no raciness. I preferred her to the C99.
