Harlequin has gained a following as a high CBD strain since it was discovered. CBD has proven to be an effective treatment for PTSD, chronic pain, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, sleep disorders, fibromyalgia, anxiety, etc. CBD counteracts THC’s paranoia while amplifying its painkilling properties.
These feminised seeds are made from two Harlequin females. The benefit of feminized seeds in CBD strains is that phenotype expression can sometimes be more predicable in the offspring, producing a more consistent CBD to THC ratio.
Flavours range from earthy musk to sweet mango but what makes Harlequin so popular is its ability to relax without sedation and to relieve without intoxication.
After harvesting seeds from the plant, we had the strain tested by a nearby lab. Generally, plants that have produced seeds tend to test lower in cannabinoids than unpollinated females but these tests still came in on the high end of other Harlequin tests throughout the country.

Strain FAQ
How does weather affect musky scent?
It's all about adaption! The musky aroma may have protected strains from pests or attracted pollinators in their original environment. Thus, the plant's perfume depends on its environment and climate.
Can you describe ancient European cannabis cultivation?
Archaeology suggests ancient Europeans grew cannabis for its psychotropic effects and textiles. This lengthy history has adapted strains to local production and use and shows a strong relationship between humans and cannabis in Europe.
Does environmental stress impact cannabis' therapeutic properties?
Cannabis plants can increase cannabinoid and terpene production to combat UV radiation and water shortages. The atmosphere may enhance a plant's medical properties, adding to cannabis' complexity.
Do greenhouse conditions affect the terpenes in cannabis?
Due to the controlled environment, legal greenhouse-grown cannabis plants are said to be optimal for terpene creation. These aromatic molecules give cannabis its particular aromas and flavours, and greenhouse factors like temperature and humidity are said to boost terpene levels.
How do single cannabis seeds improve genetic diversity?
Such a large range of single seeds supports genetic variety by allowing people to try out a huge range of different options. This is essential to help preserve cannabis DNA for future generations!
