Canna-Tsu

Canna-Tsu or High-CBD Hybrid is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 1% – 9% (Phenotype dependent; often settles around 7-8%) and CBD levels ranging from 7% – 15% (Often exhibits a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio). Known for its Earthy, Citrus, Pine, and Woody profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Short to Medium (Indoor: 30–50"; Outdoor: up to 70") in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; sensitive to Nitrogen excess in late flower.

This High-CBD Hybrid is of the Genetype: Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50% Sativa / 50% Indica). The Canna-Tsu strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Canna-Tsu in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by High-CBD Hybrid is 6.0 – 7.0 and 5.5 – 6.5 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Canna-Tsu needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the High-CBD Hybrid growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Canna-Tsu needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Canna-Tsu is 18/6 or 20/4 (Standard Photoperiod) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Canna-Tsu will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 65°F – 80°F (18°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% RH is achieved, the High-CBD Hybrid will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50% Sativa / 50% Indica) is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Canna-Tsu is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; responds very well to LST and topping.

The most exciting phase, when growing Balanced Hybrid (approx. 50% Sativa / 50% Indica) is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Canna-Tsu will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is Total Darkness (Curing). Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 60°F – 65°F (15°C – 18°C) and 55% – 60% RH so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Canna-Tsu is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of High-CBD Hybrid with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Bushy, sturdy, and resilient; produces dense, resinous buds

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Insights
Phenotype Variance: Since Canna-Tsu is a cross of two CBD giants, you may see two main "looks." One leans toward the Sour Tsunami (Indica-leaning, shorter flowering, denser buds), and the other leans toward Cannatonic/ACDC (Sativa-leaning, thinner leaves, slightly longer flower time).

The "Squat" Habit: It naturally grows wide and bushy. This makes it excellent for small grow tents. Use Low-Stress Training (LST) to open the canopy, as the foliage can get quite thick.

Harvest Timing: To maximize CBD content, many growers harvest when trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy with very little amber. Letting it go too long can cause CBD to degrade into other cannabinoids.
