An early success in cannabis breeding, this strain comes from intensive projects aiming to create stable, multiple-hybrid plants. Throughout the Eighties, generations of superior genotypes were crossbred, combining qualities from diverse parents to produce hybrids showcasing those traits in distinctive ways. This effort involved meticulous observation of seed-offspring, long-term cataloguing for selection, and testing, a method underlying some of Sensi Seeds' top hybrids.
Four Way, part of the earliest seed-catalogues, is a result of such breeding, combining Indian, Afghani, Pakistani cultivars, and Skunk #1. Launched originally and then refined for its standout qualities in 1995, it became a growers' favorite for its unique appearance, taste, and robust Indica characteristics.
Expected variations among Four Way phenotypes include fast flowering, sweet resinous buds, with some showing unique traits. It offers Indica quality in various forms, with surprises in potent or high-yielding plants.

Strain FAQ
Why do tall strains generally have extended flowering times?
Tall cannabis strains flower longer due to their usually Sativa genetics. This elongated flowering process is said to allow for more complex flavours and powerful cannabis characteristics. They typically flower for 10–14 weeks, unlike shorter, Indica-dominant strains.
How can cannabis terpenes create sweet flavours?
These strains' sweetness comes from terpene synergy. Terpenes working together can provide a variety of flavours that evoke sweet fruits, sweets, and candies.
Why are average-yielding cannabis strains said to be more sustainable for legal growers?
Water, nutrients, and light intensity are all reportedly less needed by these kinds of strains. Their sustainability and cost-effectiveness therefore often makes them more attractive than their high-yielding cousins.
