One of the newest additions to the Resin Seeds lineup, this newest cultivar comes to the market to finally give the grower the perfect balance they seek in a medicinal plant. A plant with a high CBD content which also has big colas and buds, all the while dense resin coverage and wonderful smells.
Traditionally, most CBD plants have shown a sacrifice of yield and resin production in exchange for CBD content. This Hammershark strain becomes an interesting exception to that rule. Its lineage is Dieseltonic x Shark Shock. Dieseltonic is one of our own champion strains, a variety that took 3rd in 2013 at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. Shark Shock is a strain which comes to us from the hand of the renowned Shantibaba, from Mr Nice Seedbank. This Shark Shock strain is known to many by the name of Great White Shark, and originally Peacemaker. Acclaimed all over the world, including the West Coast of USA in the mid-late 90, where allegedly even the Wu Tang Clan members could not get enough. We here at Resin Seeds could think of very few other plants that would make such an interesting addition to our breeding program.
Although we bred many plants with the Shark Shock cut given to us by Shanti, we decided upon the Hammershark strain as our favorite cross. The yields on all phenotypes were simply massive, with enormous colas and trichome coverage that was beyond insane. Then when testing came back, we knew immediately we had something interesting on our hands. We knew there would be a lower percentage of seed to carry the CBD marker, but we were quite happy to discover that a full 50% of seed had high CBD content (we at Resin Seeds consider a high CBD content plant to contain at least 4% CBD). So essentially, half of the seed a grower plants would be CBD rich. Of these, 50% would be near 1:1 CBD:THC, and 25% would be near pure THC and the other 25% would be 25% near pure CBD.
One of the most interesting aspects of this plant is the beautiful colors and tones the plants gives throughout its life. Some of these marvels are available for you to see while you browse thru the pictures for this strain. Typically, a grower will see a change in colors of the plant as temperatures rise or fall in the the growroom. However, Hammershark will provide stunning images for your eyes to marvel upon in any growing condition. Outdoors, this plant is a beast. Not only for its tremendous production and smell, which can be quite overwhelming; but also for its ability to fight off pests and disease like PM, largely due to the CBD content and always relying upon a healthy condition in the plant.

Strain FAQ
Are there difficulties breeding high CBD cultivars with consistent cannabinoid profiles?
No doubt, breeding for high CBD is difficult. CBD to THC ratios vary across settings and generations in these strains. To keep cannabinoid profiles stable and consistent, producers must constantly test and tweak their offerings.
Why are many low-THC strains high in CBD and cannabinoids?
These strains frequently prioritise CBD or other non-intoxicating cannabinoids over THC in breeding. This reportedly reduces psychoactivity and is said to provide a variety of therapeutic advantages, from pain and inflammation relief to nerve relaxation, without sending the user on a cosmic trip!
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.
How do strains ready for harvest by mid-October handle environmental stress?
These cannabis types are said to resist temperature and moisture changes well. Their toughness evolved to help them survive in their native, sometimes changing climates.
How do hybrid strains complicate cannabis genetics?
Hybrids complicate the genetic environment beyond just Indica and Sativa. By crossbreeding numerous generations, hybrids have developed many traits from both parents, creating polyhybrid strains. Genetic variety gives the cannabis family tree many interesting relatives!
