CBD Percentages

[Poet]

Hello there,

Just been looking through Herbies medical strains and while not that impressed with them, they all seem to be bloody GHS seeds, I have noticed that the CBD% content is not listed, all it says is HIGH CBD or VERY HIGH CBD. Sorry, but thats not good enough. Medical patients want to know the percentage not have someone take a stab in the dark at it.

My question is......

When will this be put right?

[Grub]

Good point mate.
For me, the CBD/CBN is more important than the THC content.

Just noticed that some of them have the CBD content, all be it they seem VERY low for medical strains. Are the rest being sorted?

The big push is for THC, not CBD, CBN etc.
I blame the kids for this. Sure, I like my head blown off last thing at night but most of the time, my objective is pain relief and a light stone, hopefully with a bit of creative stimulation. CBN & CBD are responsible for these factors, not THC.
I suppose its like alcohol content, priming us up for the day when its legal and we are paying tax on it the way it happens with drink.
Getting your gear tested by a lab is a no no for most of us so we have to rely on breeders.

So very good point Poet, lets have more CBN & CBD %

I have been strain hunting today for high CBD content strains. Before I go further I would like to point out that most of the so called medical strains available to us here are at the most around the 0.5% mark with the occasional one around 1.7%.

I have today found strains that have a 10% CBD content and some a little higher. Breeders please, GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER!

Im placing an order next week for some of these strains, first time I have paid for seeds in ...................quite a while. Needs must!

Harlequin seems popular for pain relief, don't know if you can get it in the UK tho ?

That along with Rx and a couple of others are what I will be getting but unfortunately they are not available here so far as I Know.

MNS have been working with a few people and part of the CBD Crew,loads of info on strains with high CBD content as thats their aim.

I may be way of the mark here but does THC degrade into CBN & CBD when the plant is left to mature for longer periods than normal before harvest ??

Harlequin is a USA Clone only, and it was only one plant out of ??? numbers of the cross that ended up being high CBD. I growing out a Harlequin right now and hope to do some breeding with her but CBD isn't stable in any seed that I found yet best been a IBL with a 66% ok CBD % and even Harlequin the CBD can very from 4 to 7 % depending on the grower and the Lab as not all labs are doing things as they should and there's no Standard for how or what there testing for.

I was just about to write "Try get Harlequin from the US" haha

The weakest CBD crew strain is Critical mass

http://www.seedsman.com/en/cbd-critical-mass-feminised-5-seeds

5% THC and 5% CBD - currently growing!

Ive just ordered the original "white rhino" strain from mrnice seeds its now under the name "medicine man" again as poet says mr nice states it s a high cbd strain but there was no percentage. But.... I do remember it being totally awesome grew it over ten years ago and remember it fairly vividly. Had to order some more. Taste, smell and high all about 9 out of 10 if it is what i t hink it is!

[FunkySkunkyMonkey]

Poet which strains have you found to have the highest cbd content and from where? Would be useful info for all me thinks.
Nice one dude!

[Poet]

Unfortunately I do not have access to testing nor do I have the money so therefore I have to rely on the breeders like the rest of you. There is a place in the States where they seem to be getting their act together now and have been doing for a while, the link is below. There are a few places that these seeds are available from but I cannot post links here, read through the link below and you could come across more info. ;)

Most of the CBD crew strains listed on herbies are 5%/5% THC/CBD ...with one at 6/6

It seems then, to get a higher CBD content the THC goes down 2 fold or more.

I wouldn't mind seeing more strains that have high CBD but are still reasonably moderate in THC.... Like maybe 6%/12% CBD/THC as THC still does have medicinal value.

[TheCandyManCan]

Cbd over thc any day.

[Hillbilly]

I'm working on inbreeding Harlequin, and a cross out of the Harlequin, the F2's are looking really good as to what I think are a few High CBD plants. I think if I can test the F3's should be a few CBD/THC% that rocks, I hope like 14% CBD 2% THC or so.

I really Hope more seed Co's get breeding more CBD strains, I know there will be more and more interest as people learn about CBD, but Honestly think CBD isn't for everyone just like THC isn't for everyone.

:spliffter::weed:i said it before on here but i still beleive that there is only one medical strain that has it all in the perfect proportions ,and we have had it since the 70s and that is original afghani1 sadly i cant yet find feminised a1 but a good afghan male has great value for seed production.the yeild may not match more modern strains,but for effective pain capping i value this most. trying afghanxkush as have tried both but not toghether.on the point of leaving longer flowering to make high cbd is sort of right but not neccesary if you leech well,dry well and have the patience to cure properly the cbd is there!;):thcleaf::thcleaf::thcleaf:

I can understand why you think that but it might not work perfect for everyone as some people might need THC some need THC/CBD, others might need mostly CBD and some people might need to use all three depending on there medical problems.. it's all to what the person needs at the time
