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.
Hello friends ...
I am breeder in Spain and collaborate with Resin seeds and I can tell you a little about this story. I'm friends with Jaime (Resin seeds) and Jimi (Reggae seeds), and so are they. It is an area of great cannabis movement and some took a few years in this job and enjoy good friendship.
In Spain and this story is known perfectly. The story you tell in the official version, which has a lot of truth about the CBD, but not completely. Jaime did not create the seed bank seeds Resin, he bought the seed bank Alex (Soma) and he told many delusions about genetic and today still generate bad reputations. At first it was a bullshit authentic. The seeds had many problems and gradually Jaime to trying to improve genetics. Now in 2015 the catalog will be changed and the real origin of Cannatonic and new lines to be launched will be explained. Jaime is a person of great reputation in Spain was among the first people in Spain in setting up a Grow Shop. Here in Spain many have learned from Jaime.
Following the CBD, Jimi is a great lover of cannabis and through an intersection with a male NYD Soma and Queen Mother elite clone Mario Bellandi (breeder Delicatessen). In this story there are people who say it is not true: Nobody seen male NYD that Jimi used to make the crossing, some suspect it is the same clone reversed Soma of NYD (feno Tangie) crossed Queen Mother. Anyway, Jimi is partitiioned several seeds. At that time neither sought varieties CBD at crossings.
At the same time Jimi sold some seeds to Jaime, he was willing to renew the genetics of Resin seeds. With the seeds you bought did several tests where the first selections were tested and demonstrated for the first time that these strains contain CBD. From there, the works were opened. Jaime was able to find a dominant phenotype the transmission of CBD (homozygous)Dulce Canna, and subsequently allowed to create CBD Crew with Shantibaba., For the Jimi time not been achieved. CBD its varieties, are recessive transmission in CBD and therefore not all the copies contain CBD, or contain it in varied ratios. Jimi has more artisan techniques work and their progress is slower in this regard.
Jaime, to find this phenotype was the first to adapt GW Pharmaceutical studies on the inheritance of quimitipo of cannabiones in Cannbis Sativa L. It is therefore subsequently developed CBD Crew. Jaime found in pure quimitipo copy of CBD, and this allows him to cross with plants quimitipo pure THC (the vast majority), thus achieving stability in the ratios of the offspring. Being very close to them, I think Jimi seek not the commercial development of high hybrids in CBD. His work in more craftsman. Combining genetic looking for new flavors. Jaime, on the other hand, could see commercial posibidades of conCBD varieties and quickly went to work at it, working with the Foundation Canna (Holland) that helped them is their project. It is also true that Jaime was in Olam Tikum facilities and repartitioned some seeds of his early work with CBD, variety Avidekel took the stage after the visit of Jaime Israel. I created it can not be customized in breeding work with the cannabis plant. It is thanks to the work of all that can be enjoyed today from a large number of different and very useful varieties.
I hope I have clarified something about this topic ...
Good vibes!!!
