Very high CBD strains, which ones?

[onegreenday]

Well, if you donate seeds to the IC server fund,
and those people donate F2's to the fund...the seed will
spread quickly........

I have been working with a strain for over a year I call Good Medicine which has been multiple tested from different plants (from 3 original seeds) and has been featured in Project CBD ( I am Jolly Roger elsewhere..) It is there right now actually, under availability. It runs 8-9+% CBD 8-10% THC. It is pretty incredible Medicine. I will next week take it to yet another lab for testing. I am actually starting just today trying colloidal silver to sex reverse (stress) a few females to make pollen. If successful I will grow those resultant seeds out to test. If all goes well and i can figure out how to market, I'll do so to help as many as possible. i have had incredible patient feedback from many ailments. Possibly the most dramatic is a range of intestinal problems. For a few suffering from ulcerative colitis, IBS, other serious issues they say its been a LIFESAVER. A friend who has dispensary has grown Harlequin and carries my Good Medicine no longer bothers with Harlequin

I have been spraying couple with the colloidal silver--we'll see what develops

 

[Bobo Bolinsky]

Just had it tested another lab- 11% THC 8% CBD, hope the colloidal silver will work

In seed form who has the most reliable High CBD strains? I see True Blueberry crossed with a few strains i assume its the one putting the CBD into the cross.

Dj short a good place to start?

Tripsick,

As many people have probably already said (and possibly earlier in this thread) there are few high CBD strains available in seed form at the moment. I will list the few I know, which may not be all of them, but please read my disclaimer at the bottom marked with **astericks. The following are a few potentials:

1.)Cannatonic (Resin Seeds)- It once tested about 1:1 ratio THC:CBD at Spannabis, after that point it has been advertised as containing that ratio. However, as many people have stated, given the nature of how CBD and THC synthase are co-dominant alleles, not all seeds you plant will have a 1:1 ratio. Some might have almost all THC (i.e two copies of the THC synthase allele) or mostly THC. Of course this would happen in a mendelian fashion. A few pages back some other posters said their tested Cannatonic samples came back with varying ratios of the two. This is the most available in seed form because it can be ordered internationally from The Attitude and other seedbanks who ship most anywhere.

2.) Harlequin- I read (I think on Project CBD's website) that these seeds are now available from a local Cali group. However, you have to be in Cali to get these.

3.) Soma A+ - Some samples tested of this have decent CBD levels.

4.) Possibly a few landrace strains from The Real Seed Company

** However, the problem is whether you have access to analytical equipment, or a lab that will test your stuff for you (which again, CA and CO main places with lots of labs). If you get a pack of any of these seeds, you could grow them all out and submit them for testing, or try to get one of the possibly sold out TLC plate type home tests (Cannalytics) which aren't that aweseome. If you lack any of these options, you are basically guessing and are left with just trying various samples to see if one might by chance provide symptom relief for what ails you.

If you have plenty of time on your hands, or you want to work at this instead of waiting for more reliable/certain options to come out, then I'd say buy 10-20 Cannatonic seeds, grow them out and keep labeled, while taking clones of each to keep alive until you find the right pheno. Try each sample multiple times and keep a written record of what works best for you. Then if you happen to find one that hits the therapeutic or recreational spot, then pick that one out of your bunch of clones to be your mama.

I hope that answered your question to some extent....

Possibly a few landrace strains from The Real Seed Company

Indeed, TRSC have released some time ago seeds of some Afghani hashplant from Shebarghan. Hash made from these plants has very high CBD levels. This thing knocks you off with a strong couch-lock, although quite psychedelic, effect, and pain killing properties are good enough to be of most appreciable help for opium withdrawal, which is a painfull thing...

Unfortunately, only a small number of seeds have been released and I've heard about bad germination rate. I happen to have a few of these and will attempt to germ them for a reproduction in some near future. This landrace could be an very positive addition to the list of therapeutic strains, definitely.

Irie !

A couple things: (Which by the way are again, most likely redundant and already mentioned in this thread, or in other threads about CBD, and cannabis chemistry/pharmacology etc)

1.) I think I was wrong, and perhaps it was actually Sour Tsunami that was available in seed form. Ooops my bad.

2.) About the landraces:Again, the problem is the only way to confirm your sample has CBD (without analytical equipment) is to sample them and if you get a "different" response/effect/etc then maybe that is the one. However....

3.) The subjective effects of CBD are often said by many people to be sedative in nature. However a look in the literature, or a quick reading of certain experienced people in the field might suggest otherwise. First, the claim that CBD is sedative probably comes from research done by a few scientists in Brazil in the 1970s who reported sedation by CBD in human subjects. However, other scientific work and many people's recent experience suggest the reverse- that CBD may have wake promoting properties (see reference below). Not only have many experiences with CBD alone or in combination with or before THC been reported as non-psychoactive (and non sedative), but some modern animal research has shown the same. It is true that CBD seems to be an effective anxiolytic, but anxiolytic does not always equal sedative.

4.) Related to #3, if a strain of cannabis is sedative or relaxing, it is likely due to some specific terpene(s) or flavanoid(s) which the canabis community is increasingly realizing contributes to a dazzling variety of effects in aroma, flavor, and subjective experience.

The article below is one that everyone should read about CBD because it overturns some assumptions about CBD's effects. I would have uploaded the PDF but it was slightly too large. It's a free download on Pubmed or Google scholar though.

I am doing just that. I have Cannatonic plants (7) that I have cloned a couple each prior to flowering. I used the Cannalytics test to simply tell me which plants had more CBD. Most showed up at about 50/50 with one almost all THC. It will be several weeks before they finish, upon which I will test them all professionally, and try and mother the best of the bunch.

 

[Croissant]

the real seed company parvarti, malana..... you can find phenos that are all cbd and no thc all thc no cbd or 50/50 phenos. These are the most reliable for finding high cbd plants in every pack.

 

[onegreenday]

my patients are saying the cannatonic is 'relaxing' with very little head action.
It seemed like Valium to me. We tried 2 females with 3 to go.

You can juice the veg leaves (mother plants)
of high CBD strains for
early CBD medicine while you wait for buds.
It's supposed to be medicinal.

Study: Administration Of Non-Psychotropic Cannabinoid Mitigates Psychotic Symptoms In Schizophrenics

Mannheim, Germany: The administration of the non-psychotropic plant constituent cannabidiol (CBD) is associated with a significant reduction in psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, according to clinical trial data published in the journal Translational Psychiatry.

An international team of researchers from Germany and the United States performed a four week, double-blind, randomized clinical trial assessing the clinical relevance of cannabidiol versus amisulpride, a potent antipsychotic agent, in patients with acute schizophrenia.

Researchers reported that the administration of either substance was associated with significant clinical improvement, but they acknowledged, "[C]annabidiol displayed a markedly superior side-effect profile."

Amisulpride is categorized as "one of the most effective drugs currently in use for the treatment of schizophrenia."

Investigators concluded, "Our results provide evidence that the non-cannabimimetic constituent of marijuana, cannabidiol, exerts clinically relevant antipsychotic effects that are associated with marked tolerability and safety, when compared with current medications. ... The results ... potentially represent a completely new mechanism in the treatment of schizophrenia."

A review of CBD's safety profile in humans, published online in 2011 in the scientific journal Current Drug Safety, concluded that the cannabinoid is non-toxic, safe, and well tolerated in humans, even in high doses.

Separate investigations of CBD have documented the cannabinoid to possess a variety of therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-epileptic, anti-cancer, and bone-stimulating properties.

For more information, please contact Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director, at: [email protected]. Full text of the study, "Cannabidiol enhances anandamide signaling and alleviates psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia," is available online here: http://www.nature.com/tp/journal/v2/n3/full/tp201215a.html.

Z7 Canna Test Report

Z7 Canna Test Report

At least some of the current Z7 from Shantibaba and the CBD Crew (Mr. Nice and Resin Seeds) has tested 15.52% CBD and 10.22% THC, almost 2.5 times the previous Z6 that had some phenos with ratios of 1:1 that were of approximately 5% for both CBD and THC.

Z7 (75% Indica/25% Sativa)tested by Canna Labs in Spain:




Z6 tested by a Sensimilla13 on Mr. Nice forums:



Keep your eyes peeled (ha ha, love that slang) for these phenos popping up here and there within the next 5 months, less for the indoor crops. One brother on the aforementioned forum, Grooveh, has Z7s almost ready to smoke test as well as lab test.


Here's the Z7 on Mr. Nice auctions back a few months ago:




Supercharged!

 

[village green]

I want CBD rich seeds but everyone seems sold out. Does anyone have experience with Juanita La Lagrimosa from the Original Sensible Sedd Company? They boast over 8% CBD content but I don't know if this has been verified. Anybody know where I can purchase Harlequin, the Z series or the like?

 

[guest8905]

did you know that you can test veg matter for cbd?

Thats right, you can sprout a bunch of seeds and grow the ones which test high for cbd if thats your goal

Ive heard the results on cbd testing can vary slightly between the veg and flower samples
