Ken what's the highest CBD strain uhave seen? This is from Varc.CBD is a behind-the-scenes workhorse, facilitating a staggering number of bodily changes while being completely non-psychoactive.
by Edie Adelstein @edieadelstein
In the land of cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) gets most of the publicity. It is, after all, the compound with the most well-known flair, being the main source of all the euphoric, trippy effects.
Less popular, but perhaps only until now, has been cannabidiol, or CBD, the second most-common cannabinoid among the 70 to 100 found in marijuana (and the most common in hemp). CBD is a behind-the-scenes workhorse, facilitating a staggering number of bodily changes while being completely non-psychoactive.
To start, CBDs counter some of the less desirable side-effects of THC, like anxiety, paranoia, rapid heartbeat and short-term memory loss. In high doses, it can help insomniacs sleep, but in smaller amounts, it can be energizing. It can also reduce inflammation, nausea and convulsions.
As the list continues to grow, so do the CBD-centric products on the market. High-CBD strains are finally more readily available after decades of breeding geared toward high-THC yields. In the edibles industry, companies like Cheeba Chews and Dixie Elixirs & Edibles have developed special CBD products; for instance, the latter's non-psychoactive Dixie X comes from hemp oil, and according to the website, the company's in talks to distribute it in grocery and health food stores.
Char Mayes of the local infused-products company TinctureBelle offers a more mom-and-pop approach for patients seeking help from CBDs. While her products are all hybrids (from strain to cannabinoid content), Mayes did make a special high-CBD tincture for local patient Chaz Moore, who suffers from myoclonus diaphragmatic flutter, a condition that seizes the teenager with uncontrollable spasms in his abdomen.
"They had given me the plant," Mayes says. "And so, I'll help patients out like that, but I don't have it on a constant basis to do."
And when it comes to CBDs, all this is just the tip of the proverbial bud.

That would be it ^^^Ken what's the highest CBD strain uhave seen? This is from Varc. View attachment 405071
Veterans Alternative Resource Center. How bout when time I post the whole results up when able . And the cross that made it . Unfortunately they never made the beans.That would be it ^^^
both the strains ive grown (Harley and Sout T) were like 6.5% of each (cbd and thc)
ive seen Canatonic test at many different levels
Whats Varc. ?
Just like everything else. Going to be testing for old school breeders association there CBD line will see what they came up withthe thing with cbd beans is, you gotta pheno hunt and test each pheno to find yer CBD pheno
the thing with cbd beans is, you gotta pheno hunt and test each pheno to find yer CBD pheno
worth quoting..the reliability of CBD seed stock is questionable. The ratios are not consistent with what is advertised, and some have higher THC levels than CBDs. If possible he recommends getting clones from tested mothers.

Those are great CBD numbers...Best Ive seen from seedsHarle-Tsu samples are back from the werc shop!!!
Now the really hard part - figuring out which to keep!! I believe I'll have a terpene analysis done on each of my highest cbd strains before I decide.
THC/CBD
0.62/12.75
0.55/10.82
0.74/15.81
0.65/13.32
4.46/7.71
4.86/8.31
Damn bro you know your genetic history for sure LOL. I just grow the genetics that I can get a hold of that have a good amount of CBD and share my experience with them. Seems like every breeder is jumping on the CBD band wagon these days! I chose CBD Crew because that was all I could get my hands on at the time and Shantibaba has been in the biz for decades. I personally didn't like the fact that all I could get were feminized seeds from CBD Crew. I think it limits the ability to acquire a better pheno that may have better qualities such as CBD content, yield, etc... I couldn't trust that these new breeders all of the sudden had high CBD strains after it started becoming a "market". From the knowledge you seem to have I would definitely take some advice on some good high CBD genetics from you! I'm just trying to help sick folks that need this medicine and don't want to get so high they cant even work.what no one says is that Cannatonic it's also just a pheno of another strain from a third seedbank and not MK Ultra X G13 like they say lol. Resin Seeds (and by extension all the people working with those genetics and spreading bullshit all over the world) are just making cash from the original strains discovered by the Spanish seedbank Reggae Seeds, they were the first guys who found those rare CBD phenos in their strains (Dub, Dancehall, Juanita) and started working with them in 2004-2006. They were crosses made from a CBD rich NYC Diesel male (Soma Seeds) and Queen Mother strain (Delicatessen Seeds).
Later in 2008 Jaime from Resin seeds got 7000 seeds from them (via Alex, who was Soma's son-in-law) and from there, they selected a few CBD rich phenotypes and named them Cannatonic and Dulce Canna, but they were simply phenos of Dancehall or Dub strains from Reggae Seeds. Time after that, he also founded CBD Crew with Shantiblabla and they started hyping up all the CBD bullshit.
Same with medical projects like Tikum Olam in Israel. They simply got packs from Jaime, first some Cannatonic packs and later 300 feminised seeds of Z6 and Z7. They used all those strains to select Avi-Dekel (16.3% CBD), Midnight (12.4 % CBD), El-Na (6.5 %CBD) or Rafael (18.6% CBD) but they are in fact simply different phenotypes of the same plants. They haven't been doing any super special scientific breeding or anything like that, just growing those seeds they got from Jaime.
So the sad thing is that the ones taking the credit by all this CBD trend are not even the strain creators but just some greedy guys making he most from the trend and other people's work. It's always the same old story, even though Reggae Seeds were also working with stuff from others (Delicatessen Seeds and Soma) already instead of doing proper breeding with landraces or their own genetics.
Summary of the first years of the CBD Wave and some of the mains things:
Jimi, breeder of Reggae Seeds starts the wave in 2004 with a New York City Diesel Male with CBD that uses to create Juanita la lagrimosa, Kalijah and more strains, in the second step he creates in 2006 Dancehall, Dub, Session and more strains. In 2008 he gives to Alex Soma 5000 Dub and 2000 Dancehall (still not payed). Alex gives to Jaime (Resin Seeds) and say him that was MK Ultra x G13 Haze, Jaime select Cannatonic and Freeman selects Dieseltonic and Dulce Canna, we believe the 3 plants are genotypes of Dancehall. Jaime gets a prize in High Times Cannabis Cup 2008 and make the analysis in Canna stand during Spannabis 2009 discovering the CBDWave. In 2009 and 2010 Jaime makes the first CBD genetics marketing campaign. Jaime and Shantibaba create CBD Crew to offer a whole range of CBD genetics. Later other seedbanks made collaborations with them to create true CBD genetics. In 2011 Soft Secrets writes “Cannatonic y Juanita la verdadera historia”, first and only time that Jimi and Jaime explains the truth about this genetics.
