What is C4?
C4 is a potent hybrid strain created by crossing two well-known cannabis strains. This strain is particularly known for its powerful effects and impressive genetic stability. It combines the best characteristics of indica and sativa, making it a versatile choice for different consumption preferences. C4 is suitable for both recreational and medicinal use and has made a name for itself due to its stability and yields.

THC & CBD values
C4 is known for its high THC content, typically between 20% and 25%. This high THC content provides a powerful, euphoric effect that both stimulates the mind and relaxes the body. CBD levels remain relatively low, typically below 1%, meaning that the sedative effects are more likely to be due to the THC. This makes C4 a preferred choice for users looking for a strong psychoactive effect.

Step-by-step growing instructions for C4 Strain
Step 1: Choosing the right growing space
- Indoors: Make sure you have enough space for your plants (ideally at least 1m² per plant) and use a grow box to create a controlled environment that meets optimal growing conditions.
- Outside: Choose a sunny location that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. The soil should be well aerated and slightly acidic to neutral.
Step 2: Germinating the seeds
- Water bath method: Place the seeds in a glass of water and leave them to soak for 12-24 hours until they swell.
- Seedling method: Place the swollen seeds in moist soil (a mixture of peat and perlite is ideal) and cover lightly. Keep the soil moist but not wet. At 22-25°C the seeds should germinate after 2-7 days.
Step 3: Vegetative phase (growth phase)
- Lighting: Ensure that the plants receive 18 hours of light per day (in the growth phase). Use high-quality light, e.g. LED or HPS lamps.
- Temperature and humidity: Keep the temperature at 20-26°C and the humidity at 50-60%. Excessive humidity can encourage mould.
- Watering: Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging and allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Step 4: Vegetative phase - care
- Pruning and training: Remove the lower, weak branches to promote the growth of the upper, stronger branches. If necessary, use techniques such as LST (Low Stress Training) to bring the plant into the desired shape and distribute the light evenly.
- Fertilising: Use a balanced fertiliser (NPK 3-1-2 or 2-1-2) during growth, making sure to increase the amount of fertiliser gradually to avoid over-fertilisation.
Step 5: Flowering phase
- Change light cycle: Once the plants are big enough, switch to a 12/12 light cycle (12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness) to encourage flowering.
- Temperature and humidity: Lower the humidity to 40-50% and the temperature to 18-22°C to prevent mould.
- Flower fertiliser: During flowering, switch to a phosphorus-rich fertiliser (e.g. NPK 1-3-2) to encourage flower production.
Step 6: Care during flowering
- Further pruning: Continue to remove any dead or shady leaves that block the light to maximise exposure of the flowers.
- Monitoring the plants: Keep an eye out for pests and diseases and make sure there is no mould growth by regularly checking the air circulation.
Step 7: Harvest preparation
- Determine harvest time: The flowering time of the C4 strain is around 8-9 weeks, make sure the trichomes (resin glands) are milky white to amber in colour for the best THC content.
- Pruning: When the plant is ready, cut off the main shoots and hang them up to dry in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Step 8: Harvesting and drying
- Drying: Leave the plants to dry for 7-14 days in a dark room with 50% humidity and a temperature of around 18-22°C. Make sure that the branches break easily when they are completely dry.
- Curing: After the flowers have dried, store them in glass jars and let them cure for 2-4 weeks to optimise flavour and potency.
Additional tips:
- Cuttings: If you want to use cuttings, you can find a selection of cannabis cuttings that can help you choose the best genetics for your grow.
- Monitor the plants regularly: Especially during the flowering phase, it is important to detect and treat mould and pests early on.
- Air circulation: Ensure good ventilation to prevent mould and promote growth.
With these step-by-step instructions and the right grow boxes and cuttings, you can successfully grow the C4 Strain and achieve a healthy, high-yielding harvest.
