What is the C4 strain?
C4 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
C4 is a hybrid cannabis strain that is a cross between Afghani-descended indica Shiskaberry and the sweetly-scented Cotton Candy Kush, created by the Vancouver-based Chimera Seeds, breeders who frequently experiment with Skunk and Blueberry varieties. C4 is a hybrid that leans slightly indica but has overall balanced effects. In addition to having an appealingly earthy scent, flowers of C4 carry a THC content of between 15% and 22%. C4's flowers are impressively large and adhere in almost spherical chunks. This variety has a somewhat hybridized bud structure -- although the curly leaves are densely packed at their bases, they have a fluffy exterior texture and can be freely plucked from the central stem. The leaves are a vibrant spring green, with yellow to faint orange pistils that more or less blend in. The big buds are coated in syrupy trichomes, making this an especially difficult strain to break up by hand, fluffy leaves notwithstanding. After they're cured, buds of C4 have a mellow scent that is similar to moss and cedar. Sharp notes of lemon zest accentuate the predominantly woodsy odor. Breaking up or grinding the buds can give off a hashy, incense-like aroma, evidence of Afghani's influence in this strain's genetics. When burnt, C4 has a smooth, rich smoke that tastes of citrus and pine on the exhale.

How do you grow C4?
This is a good strain for novice growers, as its landrace genetics make it particularly resistant to disease and mold. It can be successfully grown indoors or outdoors, but outdoor growing calls for a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 72 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It fares well in closely-monitored conditions indoors; C4 grows short and bushy with horizontal branching and can fit in relatively small grow spaces. This strain flowers within 7 to 8 weeks when grown indoors and offers growers a high yield in return for their efforts. Regardless, the yields are generous with a range of 450-600g/m² for indoor harvests and 35-350g/plant outdoors. Its high resin production means that C4 is a great strain for producing THC concentrates like wax or bubble hash.
