We are living in formidable times for cannabis growers. Today we can find a range of varieties the like of which we've never seen before, with flavours and characteristics for all tastes, but also with highly varied concentrations of cannabinoids.

Of course, we're talking about the different types of cannabis seeds available on the market, regular, feminised, photoperiod-sensitive or auto-flowering genetics, but also varieties with high concentrations of THC or, at the other extreme, those with considerable levels of CBD.

All the benefits of CBD without the effects of THC!

With the appearance of the first CBD-rich genetics, created by famous breeders such as Jimmy from Reggae Seeds or Shantibaba with the CBD Crew, it didn't take long before we could take advantage of strains with high CBD levels, but in most cases with levels close to 1: 1, in other words, genetics that develop both CBD and THC in equal quantities.

Since the beginning of the commercial cannabis seeds business, the genetics with high concentrations in THC have been always the most popular, but now, with the appearance of CBD-rich varieties, some consumers are specifically looking for this type of seeds, with high levels of CBD and almost no trace of THC and therefore of psychoactive effect.

Why grow low-THC genetics?

CBD is the second most important cannabinoid in the cannabis plant in terms of concentration, after THC. Present in the resin developed by the plant, CBD has been the subject of many scientific studies demonstrating its huge therapeutic potential.

CBD allows users the benefits of the anti-inflammatory and calming properties of cannabis without having to experience the psychoactive effects brought on by THC. These genetics are generally preferred by patients who wish to take advantage of the medicinal effects of cannabis, without losing control or feeling "high".
