Best CBD strains you can buy from seed

I can recommend CBD Critical Kush from Barney's Farm.
I wasn't too impressed with 3D from CBD Crew.
Med Tree Seeds. Nearly a dozen awards won at this point for their CBD lines. Visit the San Diego's Finest thread.

Have you viewed this link yourself? It's pretty outdated with one thread previously this year....
Hey Zitz, i googled this strain and its 1% CBD...
Do you have a recommendation from this line? Thanks bro
Far as i undersand Early Bubba Hash from ACE isn't a "real" CBD-rich strain, but some plants can have alot of CBD in them, around 15% according to ACE.
Go to their web-site and look it up.

Now take it with a grain of salt as you need to consider the source of the following statement and the potential motivation for distorting the truth but here it goes:
Over on the Mr. Nice Forum, about 2 years ago, Shantibaba made an open and direct post himself.
In said post (if necessary I could dig it up I suppose but enough people read it to confirm I believe), Shanti stated that he, together with CBD Crew, has been contracted by a looooot of breeders to create CBD enriched versions of their strains.
In his words "you wouldn't believe some of the breeders that contacted us". This likely means places like Greenhouse Seeds asked Shanti and CBD Crew to enrich their strains/create CBD versions of their strains.
Now to me, this fits, as CBD Crew was way ahead of the curve in terms of CBD strains. They were pumping that stuff out looooong before all the big brands had CBD strains in their catalogue.
The turning point seems to have been their CBD Therapy strain.
Once that one was out and reliably tested with high CBD (allthough the CBD Crew marketing statement of "2:1 CBD:THC in every plant" has since been debunked and it should be something more along the line of "at least one 2:1 CBD:THC plant in every pack of 5"), Shanti made his post that several breeders contacted him/CBD Crew in order to contract them with enriching their strains with CBD and creating realiable, CBD heavy seedlines of their strains.
About a half year later, all these breeders started carrying CBD seedlines.
Now about 2 years later, everyone has CBD lines and the question "well which one is good?" comes up again and again.
And nobody seems to remember this tidbit of history or care about the fact that if you buy something from Ace or Barneys or Greenhouse with the label "CBD" that it is likely just these breeders sending their strains to CBD Crew, them working them for a while (read: crossing their high CBD strains to these other lines until the tested THC:CBD ratio is acceptable, often enough) and then selling them through their own labels.
So, imho, believing the statments Shanti made as they fit with what I observed in the CBD market, there is only one source for reliable CBD strains:
CBD Crew.
Since most everyone else on the market is selling CBD Crew gear under their own label anyway.
I say most everyone as I am sure there must be others by now that are offering their own, genuine CBD strains that they bred themselves. But there certainly won't be more than a hand full, if any.
Because CBD Crew simply started working on CBD rich seedlines, years before everyone else was interested. Back then people were laughing at them and saying nobody would buy that stuff as why would you want to smoke bud that doesn't get you high and gives you pain relief when you could smoke bud that both gets you high and relieves pain.
Turns out some people don't care about the high and that niche market was identified and serviced by CBD Crew before anyone else even noticed it.
Once they realized that demand is high and they need to get CBD strains on the menu asap, they realized they couldn't start from scratch if not for the lack of knowledge/skill then for simply being years late.
So they simply contracted them, paid good money for it but made sure that this was done under the table and not officially. They paid good money for the fact that CBD Crew wouldn't name names and say "yeah we did this strain for that breeder" but instead kept it quiet.
If you go further back in history, you will also find out that the whole CBD trend started with the discovery of a plant, in Spain I believe, that was named "zanahoria" or something meaning "the healer".
Anyway, it was a Mr. Nice strain and the lines that were coming from that plant were dubbed the "Z-line". You can find Z6 and Z7 seeds, sometimes crossed with other strains through MRN auctions.
And here comes the kicker:
During the past 2 years, these Z-strain seeds were rarely put on auction (and couldn't be purchased elsewhere) but when they were put on auction, suddenly 10x as many people (or more) were bidding on these seeds and they were ending with fantastic prices. Talking about several hundred bucks for a pack of seeds, where usually these types of auctions, from "normal" strains, would end up at maybe 80 bucks tops. Never surpassing 100. I remember one Z-auction ended at over 500 bucks.
My explanation: Other breeders were desperately trying to get their hand on the Z-strain seeds in order to do their own leg-work and be free of a colaboration with CBD Crew. I also believe that the auctioned Z-Strain seeds were faaaar removed from the final results CBD Crew was able to present. So MRN and CBD Crew likely felt it wasn't risky to put these seeds on sale as they were likely representative of the status quo of their breeding efforts several years ago.
Some of the CBD strains currently available might have come from some of those seeds though.
Believe what you may, do your own research, but my explanation fits in all aspects.
Which doesn't necessarily mean that I got it right of course.
/Edit
I just had some free time and checked up on some of the stuff I posted/how I remember it and I got at least the Z6/Z7 thing wrong.
Apparently that was a Cannatonic cross.
But as I read up on that stuff a little again, I remembered that the Z line heritage is also cloudy and unsure. Changed several times over the years and was never truly confirmed. Probably not a MRN strain though or at least not a pure onw, maybe a cross with something.

Medical Marijuana Genetics bred Candida. They say it tests between 20:1 down to 10:1. Parents are Harlequin and AC/DC. Seedsman sells them.
