Very high CBD strains, which ones?

@medical_shed

Thank you.All the Dutch strains contain very little to abscence of CBD, so they aren't usable for some purposes.Strains which produce anti-anxiety effect contain normally also a higher CBD-content.In the book Diversity in Cannabis from the researcher E.de Meijer describe also strains from Turkey with a high CBD-content (3 a 4%)(THC-content=0.19-0.23%) :canabis:


This is another picture of another USO31 pheno with more branches.If you look closely you see the resin glands

The Vancouver Seed Bank offers hemp seeds at a very cheap price, but will not ship to the United States. If any of our Canadian brothers would be willing to make a bounce pass, some of us would be interested. I had 70 feral hemp seeds from Minnesota, but only one has germed. It is now about 5 weeks old. I have 6 Sheberghan(Afghan) and 7 Mazar-i-Sharif females in bloom now, and have collected pollen from the 7 Sheberghan males and 2 mazar males. I will be making seeds. They should have some phenos that have CBD. I also have 6 Chinese Yunnan Indicas in flower.

I must say that I am happy to see all of you get interested in CBD. I have been beating that drum for over a year with little interest from most folks.

Afghanicus, your Parvati will probably not have much CBD. Ngapka told me that most of the Indian sativas from the Himachal Pradesh area made good charas but did not have much CBD. I have the Kerala,Parvati, Pahari farmhouse, a native N. Indian sativa from Varanasi village,Kullu jungli(wild),and Malana, as well as Punjab, Manali and Kasol. I expect better results from my Sheberghan,Mazar-i-Sharif, Pine Tar Kush, Laspur(Pakistan) and Hindu Kush #1. Raco's Paki x-18 that he got from Tom Hill is supposed to have good levels of CBD.

It is possible that some of the Russian and Czech Ruderalis will have CBD, but Ruderalis strains have much lower total cannabinoid levels.

If anyone is interested in getting some hemp strains to cross with drug strains, here is the link.

where does one get high cbd hemp seeds? USA please.. i would love to do some crossing, maybe to a sativa, with high thc, and long flower, so that the early flowering lowwww thc has lowered its flower time, and gives me more crossing to do without running completly out of thc

You will have to find someone in the midwest willing to go out and harvest some feral hemp seed. The crop is gone now, so you will have to wait until next year. Even hemp seed is illegal in the U.S. unless it has been heat sterilized.

Still looking for high CBD seeds if anyone can help. I have ulcerative colitis plus severe panic/anxiety attacks and post traumatic stress disorder and major clinical depression and am dependent on benzodiazepenes and anti-depressants. I really want to find a herbal alternative that is going to relieve my symptoms and calm me (and anti-inflammatory) without getting me addicted like the benzos. THC just doesn't do if for me. I'm not interested in getting high. I want something to relieve my medical conditions. If anyone has any wild seeds that don't get ya stoned like commercial vareities but rather more subtle medicinal effects i'd be interested in giving them a go. I really need it. I'm through buying from seedbanks as i haven't found them to be a reliable source of what i want.

The Cannabis based medicine Sativex is in trail in the US.This medicine will be allowed for sale after the trail has ended positive.
Not all hemp strains contain also high levels of CBD.Fin-314/Finola hemp has a CBD/THC ratio of 10:1.This strain is an autoflower, so you can discover the males very soon appr. 20 days after germination.To make cuttings from this strain will be difficult.USO-31 is a better strain to make cuttings and is also early flowering strain, but not an autoflower.

For US citizens is the only option to find a wild hemp strain in the bush.
Here wild hemp in the state Indiana (pic is not mine)

I would doubt that any strain has 21% THC and 8% CBD. With THCV,CBG,CBC and other cannabinoids, that would put the total cannabinoids well over 30%. WOS claim to have land races, but most of their stuff is worked Dutch genetics grown in Spain. If you want real land races look to Real seed Company. They have several Himalayan charas strains and Mazar-i-Shharif and Sheberghan from Afghanistan.

8% of CBD is a fairytale.There are no strains commercially available at this moment with a conc of 8% CBD.The analyse they have used GC/MS is very expensive and accurate but this is not done commercially for Cannabis strains, not even in the Netherlands.The method which is used here is TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography).
Real Seed Company is a good option, the strains they sell are not contaminated with Dutch genetics.The Parvati strain could be an interesting one. :canabis:

elmanito. I am not sure if any of the Himalayan charas strains have any CBD. I certainly hope so as I have Malana, Kerala, Parvati,Pahari Farmhouse, Kullu jungli as well as Manali,Punjab and Kasol. I agree with you that no commercial strain has over about 1.4%, and even that could be suspect with TLC, as it isn't accurate.

Hi pops;

I just saw a very interesting post from the owner of RSC.

As you know, some of the hash that comes from Pakistan/Afgahnistan area can contain as much as 50% CBD.

He noted that locals think of their herb as cold temperature resistant. They claim that their herb doesn't seem to mind snow.

In a thread here someone was working with lower temperatures for flower stage. I think it was ~65F. The thought is that it brings out the colors, flavors and smells.

To me this is a bell going off.

For hash making, they let the plant go well beyond what we would normally consider to be harvest time. The longer it goes the better it is. Trics all brown.

Some food for thought.

PB, I have the Mazar-i-Sharif and Sheberghan from RSC. The Mazar is left for harvest in Dec. and turns a reddish color. They use it to make Shirik-i-Mazar(Milk of Mazar). The strains are supposed to be cold resistant. I got 7 Sheberghan males and 6 females. They are in the 3rd week of flower and are pollinated lightly. I have 2 Mazar males and 7 females. I am having trouble getting the Mazar males to jack off. I guess I need new bud porn!

Hey Pops,

Thanks for posting info regarding CBD strains. In fact, you've inspired me. After seeing your lineup I couldn't help but put in my own order. My (RSC) MIS & Seedsman Afghani #1, have landed safely in my destination.

Right now, I have no places to grow them out. But in do time I will be sure to make some postings here at IC.

I grew when I worked oversea's in S.K. Land of Kimchi, LCD, Ships, and semi-conductors. I worked there for over ten years. I have a few pics in my gallery. However, I gave up my old career for a new field that lends itself to whom some consider a necessity and some a hobby. Yes, I took a big salary cut and started anew as an electrical apprentice. :bashhead: Ouch! Big salary drop. haha... :laughing:

However, I know the skills, as well as the knowledge that I acquire will lend themselves to a mulititude of industries in the long term.

In any event.... I've been eagerly anticipating some of your posts.... Myself as well as many others would love to see some of the progress your girls have made. If you get a chance it would be nice to see a few pics either here or over at TCC.

In any event, I will be sure to make my results available in do time. Worst case, we duplicate results. Otherwise, a door to a new path is opened.

Kind Regards to you and your family,

nlvigour

Pops, nice strains you have.It is true that GC/MS is more accurate than TLC.TLC is more used for identification of the herb, but a Dutch company did something with it.To test the % of the TLC-test they used GC/MS for calculation of the %.

Cannalytics

Not all strains from Nepal have also a high % of CBD.The research Diversity of Cannabis which was done in the Netherlands in the beginning of 1990s has shown that some strains from the Kalopani region of Nepal had a % of CBD between 0.55-0.89%.Turkish strains showed a % of CBD between 3-4%. :canabis:

Hi Pops, I just wanted to highlight your post as I was about to write a similar one before I saw yours, you put it a lot better than I would have.

Fantastic thread everyone. I also have some of the Real seeds eastern delights (including the Mazar-I-Shariff).
I am planning to try them next summer but I am a little worried that they just won't finish in time (@50N)...
It is not snow and cold temps I usually worry about by October+
but clouds, rain, and mold!
