Look I was going by what I have read online since Brothers Grimm released the new C99's. Bottom line is that the vast majority of people who bought the new C99 seeds & grew them out have stated that they are not anywhere near what the originals were. I’ve seen posts from people who have grown out multiple packs of the new C99 recommending that if people want to try C99 they should try Peak Seeds or Mosca or even Female Seeds over the new Brothers Grimm seeds.
Normally when there are that many people saying something like that it’s for good reason. I bear no ill will towards B/Grimm but based on the info at hand they’re most recent iteration of C99 was not up to standard & is being called a cash grab by those who have bought & grown the seeds. Plus, America is in the middle of a huge cannabis marketing push so it was perfect timing to make a stack of the back of a much-loved old time classic.
I heard (rightly or wrongly) that they had some of they’re original plants but not all hence the differences in end product.
Anyway I am obviously not sold on they’re C99 but am curious about they’re Apollo dependent on it having the chops so to speak
