Strain Aromas
As you might expect from its signature fuzzy orange appearance, White 99’s aroma is citrusy and delightful, like a sparkling orange soda sipped in the sun. Breathe deeper and you’ll catch the sour diesel back note, plus the woody, earthy pine scent that emerges as the nugs burn.
Strain Flavor
Inhale a toke of White 99 and you’ll catch notes of sweet-and-sour lemon that always reminds us of a lemon meringue pie fresh from the oven. On the exhale, you might notice flavors of citrus zest and orange blossom water, as well as a spicy hint of vanilla and cloves.

Limonene
White 99’s signature uplifting, creative energy is thanks to the terpene limonene, which also contributes that delightful mix of citrus flavors.
Caryophyllene
Known for balancing out any strain, caryophyllene supports White 99’s relaxing yet energizing smoking experience, adding notes of warm spices to the exhale.
Myrcene
Sweet and delicately herbaceous, myrcene supports White 99’s ability to summon a euphoric, relaxing experience with calming, centering effects, as well as notes of lemongrass and mango.
Budtender Reviews
White 99 is a very old "hype" strain that most people are tired of seeing. While I can appreciate it as a classic, our presentation of this strain is often very poor, usually over-dried to the point that it turns to dust when touched. This is partly just how the strain behaves, it has a tendency to produce larger buds that dry out quickly, but also we could make drastic adjustments to curing and growing practices that would benefit the quality of this classic as well as the rest of our cultivars.
Personally, I hate most sativa strains. Too racy for me, but that's why people like it.
White 99 is SUCH a versatile strain whether its consumed morning or night, a good strain that would do well in a smoke sesh shared among friends!
Thick dense nugs and a sweet skunky smell are a great selling point but the visual appeal is lacking. Needs to showcase the beatiful light orange hairs and crystal white tricomes that "white" strains are known for
Balanced Hybrid, never been my jam
I love it I don't usually smoke sativa but I smoke that's all
not sure- too racy the time i tried it
