The 2024 season at Canna Country Selections was packed with trials on many of the crosses we’ve made at CCS.
We trialed mostly our feminized seeds in an early light deprivation run. We also cracked some of the original CC9 and CC30 seeds to peer deeper into those lines.
We put the seeds in the ground on April 15
We used potting soil that has been in production at the nursery for at least eight years, probably longer, amending it with a blend of 16 to 18 different ingredients heavy on the minerals, compost and fertilizers.
Planted some into 20 gallon bag (some with two), 5-gallon containers, and beds(plop on top in the pay it forward style)
First dark out cover was pulled on June 5
Harvest was on August 8
It was one of the hottest summers on record during this span

Some things seen at the trial:
The CC27 adds serious vigor with a giant bud phenotype evidenced in most crosses. Aroma profiles inherited from her are the most different but often the sweet berry-themed with white kief and the banana aroma here and there.
The CC26 adds better color to the colorful ones, major vigor enhancement (mostly), aroma/flavor and mouthfeel to the show, and anthocyanin possibility. There’s a way shorter phenotype in there too.
The CC30 adds trichome production, giant leaf lobes on a large, strong frame, dense cola-like structure, bright green colored flower, aroma profile, potential for gas and the pinene dominance with limonene.
The CC3 passes on a more branched structure with hard silver buds on long staff-like colas, aroma of spicy and old Burmese, an indoor appearance even done under the sun, made some *most_giant and *most_frosted plants in the trials and made the most, by far, studded petioles.
The CC29 passed on, most strikingly, the look of indoor “indica”-amazing trichome production on silver and gold buds with purpling leaves at the finish. Quite a few offspring were *most_color but many *most_green too, depending on the mate. Her upright growth habit was also highly expressed, making up half the phenotypes when mixed with the shorter and branched mates like CC9 and CC38
The CC9 added a more triangular structure to the plants and the blossoms, short with fat buds, early to most things, where the CC9 is usually not early, the offspring were early when mixed with the early varieties, and mixed well with the longer flowering varieties, bringing with her the ability to run things out without a close-out finish, aromas-black pepper to sweet pineapple candy and gas, and potency.
The CC37 is no longer with us but we have been exploring her in seed form blended with a few of the other clones in the stable. She passed on a vigor she didn’t express herself, a wide, highly branched structure, pyramidal and dense colas, with candy and berry aromas, and full mouthfeel of goodness. Where the CC37 went with the CC26 it turned on the giant gene with some of the most vigorous offspring in two different trials. Where the CC37 went with the CC30 they were all much smaller but heavily expressing the CC30 in trichomes and aromas. We tagged many of both crosses in the trials for further exploration.
The CC38 is always a workhorse in the garden. She passed on her stout, highly branched frame, hard round nugs, early finish, and her aroma and flavor were recognizable in many.
