Seeds of Freedom
Tropi-canna is a playful shorthand for “tropical cannabis,”
bringing to mind the lavish, sultry luxury of tropical settings
known as enviable vacation destinations and global sweet spots
for cultivating kind bud. It was the lush tropical qualities of this
variety that inspired its Tropi-canna name.
This variety is the progeny of a Sensi Star F2 female and a
Hawaiian Skunk daddy. As a hybrid, Tropi-canna adopts its
flowering time and growth pattern from its indica roots while
possessing sativa qualities in taste, smell, and effects. This
plant can be grown in either hydro or soil, although soil will
bring out more of the mango-haze treats in its flavor. Tropicanna is a slow starter, but branches well and fares best as a screen of green or multi-branch plant. Sea of green methods
can also work successfully if the bottom branches are trimmed.
These dark green plants could easily blend into lavish
equatorial gardens, but they can also be grown in outdoor
gardens beyond the tropics belt, where they will finish by the
end of September in latitudes equivalent with southern
Ontario, Canada. The leaves show a sativa influence, with many
slender leaflets. As they grow, there is a slight internode
stretch. Tropi-canna is a natural mama who prefers lower
nutrients: even better if they’re organic. By the end of
flowering, she is typically doubled in size from what it was at
forcing. Plants are best forced at 12–18 inches, resulting in
average final plants that are 30–36 inches tall.
Tropi-canna plants are aromatic as they vegetate, but the
smell becomes lighter and less conspicuous during flowering.
In the second half of the flower cycle, these plants go through a
transformation, exploding with bud growth and resin
production until even the leaf petioles are covered in glands.
Ha-cha-cha! Or perhaps Hash—Uh-huh! This plant should
definitely be considered a serious contender for bubble hash
processing.
Tropi-canna buds at finish have an amazing and distinct
tropical flavor, a mixture of fresh melon, citrusy lemon, and the
flowery edge of haze—sorry, no orange juice in this Tropicanna treat. The high invokes a giddy and decadent sense of enjoyment. Tropi-canna encourages a fun and exuberant mood
that would fit right in to the ambiance of an island vacation.
