Tidal Wave potency is average.

Tidal Wave is a modern, hybrid-indica strain whose exact origins are undocumented. While its lineage is commonly associated with Do-Si-Dos, breeders have not publicly confirmed this cross, and the history of its development remains thin and largely unverified. Because documentation is notably sparse, any specific narrative regarding its original genetic contributors remains speculative, and consumers should be aware that the full breeding history of this cultivar is not currently established in the public record.

The chemical profile of Tidal Wave is characterized by a confirmed distribution of terpenes, headlined by caryophyllene and followed by limonene, myrcene, humulene, linalool, terpinolene, bisabolol, and beta-pinene. This composition suggests a complex aromatic experience, though the specific sensory nuances resulting from this hierarchy are observed as a variable outcome of its development. Regarding its potency, the strain features an estimated 19.8% THC, alongside an estimated 0.04% CBD and an estimated 0.11% CBG. These figures reflect an averaged estimation rather than batch-specific analysis, providing a general target for its cannabinoid potency.

Physiologically, Tidal Wave produces effects of relaxation and focus, making it a functional option for users seeking relief from pain, stress, or sleep difficulties. The strain is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, growing with moderate difficulty and reaching harvest readiness after a 60-day flowering period. It is capable of producing a high yield, though there are currently no recorded notable offspring linked to this variety.
