Tidal Wave
Also known as: Tidalwave, Tidal Wave F1
Tidal Wave Strain Overview
Tidal Wave is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by Archive Seed Bank, known for its powerful effects and complex genetic lineage. The strain was created by crossing the legendary Triangle Kush with the equally renowned London Pound Cake 75, resulting in a cultivar that combines the best traits of both parent strains. Tidal Wave emerged in the early 2020s and quickly gained popularity among experienced cannabis consumers for its intense psychoactive properties and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced during cooler growing conditions. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance, and are accented by vibrant orange pistils. Tidal Wave's foliage tends to be broad and dark green, characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage.
Notable features of Tidal Wave include its exceptionally high THC content, which regularly tests between 20-28%, making it one of the more potent strains available. The name 'Tidal Wave' references the overwhelming, wave-like effects that users report experiencing. The strain has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its balanced hybrid effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation, though its potency means it is generally recommended for experienced consumers rather than beginners.

Tidal Wave Strain Growing Information
Tidal Wave is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests generally occur in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet tall, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to improve light penetration and airflow. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Tidal Wave prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants respond well to nutrient feeding but can be sensitive to overfeeding, requiring careful monitoring.
