Title says it all. Would I just get a high CBD strain and crossbreed it with LR2 then cross that back to LR2 again? the goal is to retain the favorable to me traits of Lowryder 2 such as its height and quick blooming capabilities but increase the CBD content somewhat. The breeder of LR2 lists the thC at 15.5% and the CbD at only 0.1%

thanks in advance.

Breeding is not just a simple task. To get a stable breed you need to do dozens and dozens of plants for many generations. Here is a good guide if you are that interested.

That pretty much covers it except you're going to also need lab testing to determine the cbd content of the various plants you've created after you grow them out. The high cbd level in the strains known as high cbd strains still seems to be a recessive trait that you will only find in a low percentage of plants.
