hey jandre hows things friend,
you know these high cbd strains, well regular hemp has very little thc but has very high cbd levels or so i have read, so would it be possible to cross a regular cannabis with hemp and achieve high cbd levels but also have some of the thc in it as well,
when i was cleaning out my mates shed the other day he does a lot of fishing and he had a big bin full of hemp seeds, i soaked a few to see if their viable and they sprouted so planted one and it grew like crazy, fastest plant ive ever seen grow, like bamboo, but very little side branches just stretched for the sky, i killed it off as it is of know use to me but was just checking if fishing hemp was still viable or treated to prevent sprouting,
so i read up online about hemp and it said it has less than 1%thc even as low as 0.1thc but it had very high cbd levels, not sure on % ill try and find the link and see what % it said but it was pretty high, so for the medical users that are after the high cbd and low thc levels i was thinking along the lines of breeding hemp with cannabis, possible cannabis female with male hemp, i know it would take some breeding to get it right but if a person was just after cbd then could they just grow hemp instead of cannabis, that way they got no thc and just the cbd, or if they wanted thc and also high levels of cbd then i was thinking crossing the 2 plants might be of some use at getting higher cbd levels,
or could this be how the breeders are getting high cbd levels, could their be some hemp in the genetic make up of the high cbd strains,
my mate says he used to throw handfuls of hemp in the rivers and lakes when he went fishing, so i guess it would be possible to find hemp growing at random locations due to fisherman using it, my parrot also has hemp seeds in his parrot food, well i think their hemp, looks the same as cannabis seeds but then hemp is the same plant, its not something i want to try and grow, last thing i want is getting caught and knowing i got caught growing hemp which is of know use to me at all,
anyways mate, just thought id throw that out their in case anyone has heard of cbd levels in hemp or even experimented with crossing regular cannabis with hemp to try and achieve high cbd levels,
peace
Let me shed a little light if I may,
Since I have been doing research on producing higher CBD plants I have learned a few things.
When growing hemp from seed to find a plant with a higher then 1% CBD.......you have a 1 in 50 chance
When growing a regular seed you have a 1 in 5000 chance of finding a plant with a higher CBD content of 1% Basically, genes inside the growing seed mutates to produce a higher CBD.
Many DP (including myself) have thought along the lines you have but very few have the time nor space to undertake such a task with the chances being so low.
Many of us are doing CBD breeding with many different strains to get just the right meds to medical patients. My projects at the moment is to produce a plant to help Chrohns patients with pain, stomach related issues and appetite stimulation. Also, I'm working on a high CBD sleeper med. I mean a couple of tokes and you will be pain free and out like a light.
Anymore questions I'd be happy to answer to the best of my ability.
