CBD Blitz: Find a high-CBD low-THC mother, from seed, in only 3 weeks

Have seeds for Master Hemp to try this season. It is from Medical Marjuana Genetics and seems to have Candida in it's genetics.

Also have seeds for Mandrin pie hemp, from High Alpine Genetics.

Last year I grew several crops of Charlotte Angle auto CBD, pretty pleased seems very low THC.

This year I have seeds for Dinamed CBD auto and Kannabi's Swiss Dream CBD autoflower.

I am a professional produce farmer, but a novice when it comes to cannabis breeding.

I am going to attempt crossing the lowest THC high CBD hemp with the lowest THC high CBD Autoflower strains.

Goal being a .3% THC high CBD autoflower hemp strain.

It seems that most of the east of the Rocky mountain breeders are going for later flowering, to keep THC levels down. The exact opposite of what maritime Pacific growers will need.

I feel our consistently cool 50 F nights all summers could produce reliable low THC hemp. However thinking a short flowering season, or better yet a Autoflower hemp would be ideal for my region. All would be good if I can finish by the first week of September, before powdery mildew wipes out virtually all living plants.

Really thinking giving farmers control of when they want to flower, and not be at the whim of nature is a good thing considering the cost of seeds or clones.

This is beyond my ability, but I can play! :)

Interesting post. I really need to read through this as I’m germinating some of those seeds right now as we speak. Primarily the Candida strain which claims little to no THC which I need for daytime.

I would like to trust the breeder though. And I always thought medics genetics was a good breeder for this type of stuff. Now I gotta double check my seeds. Not too happy about that. Want he one strain for anytime use that doesn’t get you high. Can’t be in court stoned. Doesn’t work well at my age anymore. Lol.

I grew out a half dozen of the Dutch Passion Charlotte Angel autoflower last season. They were physically consistent plants. Decent "bright" citrus terpens (better than many autos)

Scared of TLC, so don't know CBD/THC levels. I will say a joint is like no effect I have experienced before. (Pure CBD isolate, I really don't feel anything?)

Did an ethanol extraction then made ticniture with 1 gram Charlotte Angel concentrated tar/oil and 12 grams (1/2 ounce) ethonol. Figured 1/2 dropper was 27 mg of my concentrate.

Holy Shit! 1/2 dropper under the tongue first thing in the AM was nearly instant, and extreamly intense for several hours.

Don't think it's THC, but it felt like your head is in a vacuum, (headband, with a classic relaxed eye feeling of a strong Indica). A sense of almost dizzy, almost shortness of breath.

Eat a 100 or 200 mg of purchase isolate and nothing like this home made tincture.

I more than like it. All the effects of exellent old school hash without having to endure being stoned first.

Wonder if I don't have a fair dose of CBN in this concentrate? I did let the plants Amber up before harvest. (That was before I heard late harvest can increase THC levels)

Sounds amazing. Like a stronger version of what I felt with an ACDC made into an edible that readily dissolved under the tongue. Haven't tried the alcohol extraction yet, but it sounds like you are preserving the neccesary cannabinoids to create the "entourage effect" which as you noted simply cannot be accomplished with CBD isolate. My guess would be definitely some CBN, and of course CBG, CBC, etc which all play their role. With THC in low quantities such as 20:1 mmj strains and .3% hemp strains, the THC may not be active on its own, but I have been told from multiple sources that just the tiniest bit of THC will activate otherwise dormant effects of the CBD particularly but others as well probably. They are all working together synergistic ally like this. Hence the "entourage effect" If anyone is unfamiliar with this term, look it up in reference to hemp oil extract and the difference between CBD isolate, and full spectrum hemp oil. Just another example of how people with the expensive pharmaceutical equipment required to create pure CBD isolate are promtly outdone be someone in their kitchen.

I would like to try the alcohol extraction some time. How did you come up with your method, and how does it work?

I know someone who breeds them. Guaranteed .3% thc or less, Colorado Dept of Ag approved.
I'm interested! I'm starting a 200 plant indoor legal hemp grow in Wisconsin. The biggest hurdle has been trying to find a source for good genetics. My worst nightmare is to complete the grow and have the state come in and destroy the crops because of going over the .3 thc limit.

Former cheese head here...

Few guarantees on being below .3%. Seed is less reliable than clones. Still need to test often and chop early, from what I understand so far.

I would talk to the folks at High Alpine Genetics. Maybe Willamette Valley Hemp Seeds too.

Currently thinking doing a grow out and testing to find mother plants that stay below legal limit in your specific conditions, then cloning for the actual grow.

This would offer some piece of mind.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I have sourced some clones from another grower who has clones from a past successful grow. But I definitely want other genetics on hand. Thanks for the info.

How is medical genetics as a breeder?

I have my first seedling with 2 very small leaves that finally showed this morning. One didn’t make it. Or maybe I got impatient and pulled it. Soil was drying way too quick. Growing the CD1 strain.

How strong is this breeders genetics as the CD1. I could only find were feminized. After all the hard work, don’t want to lose her to a hermie.

damn, have fun growing the legal hemp :(
The law only mentions delta 9.. Can have as much thc-a/thc/d-8-thc as you want ;)

Nice thread but with as cheap as cbd strains are I wouldn't waste my time searching for one to grow . 600/lb for trimmed buds, about half that for smalls in OR. Even cheaper in NV and CO.

Sell what you dont need to kids on the playground. Then sue the cops for false arrest after they lab it.

PM me. I can source help seed from people who grew it out and had it tested.

The _only_ experience i have with Medical Genetics is their Candida CD-1 strain, and I only grew TWO of those. But i am happy to say that BOTH of those tested out via Thin Layer Chromatography as having high CBD and non-detectable (<0.5%) THC. 2 plants is a terrible population sample to draw any conclusions from, but it's not a bad start

I’m growing the Candida right now. 4 or my seedlings died. I have one that is growing real nice and has been for about a week. Still to early to tell if it’s the indica or sativa phenotype.

I was hoping you could tell me about stretch? How big do this girls stretch? I don’t wanna get into height problems and over veg them.
