WHAT ARE CBD CANNABIS SEEDS?

cannabidiol, also known as CBD is a phytocannabinoid found in marijuana plants. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t produce any of the psychoactive effects commonly associated with smoking cannabis. Instead, it's main uses are for its reported therapeutic benefits, ranging from pain relief to anxiety reduction. Therefore, growing CBD seeds is great for anyone that wants to produce flower with very little THC and high levels of CBD.

WHAT IS CBD USED FOR?

CBD is used for a wide range of therapeutic and medical purposes. It is most commonly consumed as balms, drops, oils or it can even be smoked as raw flower. There is still a lot more that needs to be studied when it comes to the medical uses of CBD but many people claim that it helps with conditions such as anxiety, epilepsy, movement disorders, insomnia, inflammation, skin conditions and chronic pain. The medical uses for CBD even stretch as far as vetinary medicine, with CBD oils and drops being made specifically for pets.

HOW DO YOU GROW CBD SEEDS?

Growing CBD seeds, much like cultivating any other cannabis seeds, involves a series of steps and considerations to get the most out of your plant. Here’s a beginner's guide to growing your own CBD flower at home.

CLIMATE

Temperature: CBD cannabis plants typically thrive in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-30°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night.

Humidity: Young seedlings prefer higher humidity levels, around 60-70%. As they grow, gradually reduce humidity to about 40-50% during the flowering stage to prevent mold.

Light: Whether you're growing indoors or outdoors, ensuring your plant gets ample light is vital. If you're cultivating inside, invest in quality grow lights. Outdoor plants benefit most from direct sunlight for at least 8 hours daily.

NUTRIENTS

Macronutrients: The three primary nutrients your cannabis plant requires are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). The ratios will vary based on the growth stage.

Micronutrients: Elements like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are also crucial, though in smaller quantities.

Soil Quality: A rich, well-draining soil can act as a reservoir for these essential nutrients. Alternatively, hydroponic systems require diligent nutrient management.

pH Levels: Monitoring the pH of your soil or water in hydroponic systems is crucial. A pH of 6.0-7.0 is ideal for soil, while hydroponic systems lean towards 5.5-6.5.

TRAINING

Low Stress Training (LST): This involves gently bending the branches and tying them down. It can help the plant grow in a more bushy manner and expose more buds to direct light.

Topping: This involves cutting off the plant's main stem, encouraging the plant to grow two main stems in its place. It can enhance yield and make better use of space.

Pruning: Regularly removing dead or overgrown leaves ensures better airflow and light penetration.

Screen of Green (ScrOG): This method involves weaving the tops of plants through a screen or net, optimizing light exposure and promoting even growth.

Does CBD weed still contain the same terpenes?

CBD rich cannabis flower will still contain all of the same terpenes that are found in other strains, the only difference will be the effects that they have on you. In fact it is thought that some of the terpenes found in CBD strains may work with it to enhance its positive cognitive and therapeutic effects. When you grow CBD seeds the smell of the plant may not be quite as strong, but while they are flowering your plants will still have that clearly recognisable marijuana scent.

HIGH CBD AND LOW THC

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids found in marijuana plants, however, CBD does not cause any of the psychoactivity that is normally associated with smoking weed. A high THC strain is one that has over 20% THC these are normally very low in CBD. Whereas High CBD cannabis seeds are much less common and so a high CBD strain is normally anything above 10% CBD.

At MSNL seed bank we have one of the best ranges of high CBD seeds for sale with strains such as Harle-Tsu and ACDC having CBD levels as high as 25% and THC levels as low as 1%. If you want to grow cannabis plants with low amounts of THC and high levels of CBD then you are in the right place.

HEMP SEEDS VS CBD MARIJUANA SEEDS

Hemp and CBD strains, are both derived from the Cannabis plant, however, the main differences between them is the THC and CBD content. According to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp is technically classified as a Cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3 percent THC, which then makes it legal in many states and countries. The very low THC content means that the hemp plants cannot produce any psychoactive effects at all. This is why hemp is mostly farmed for its fiber or as construction material. On the other hand, CBD marijuana seeds contain high concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD) but contain varying levels of THC, with most contain over 0.3% THC, hence why they are still classified as cannabis. Some of our high CBD strains contain as little as 1% THC which makes the psychoactive effects almost non-existent, however according to the 2018 United States Farm Bill these strains cannot be classified as industrial hemp as they contain slightly more than 0.3% THC.
