Is a little bit more Sativa than the S.A.G.E. CBD and thus slightly longer flowering time. The flavor is more of a lemony/fruity candy taste. Don't give it more than 3 weeks in veg because the stretch is important. The flowering time is between 8-10 weeks, yields: 450 to 500 psm, big resin producer and very good for extractions.
What is CBD?
CBD is one of over 60+ compounds found in cannabis that belong to a class of molecules called cannabinoids. Of these compounds, CBD and THC are usually present in the highest concentrations, and are therefore the most recognized and studied. CBD and THC levels tend to vary between different strains and varieties of cannabis. By using selective breeding techniques, it is possible to create varieties with high levels of CBD and THC. CBD does not cause a high, unlike THC. The reason why CBD is non-psychoactive is due to its lack of affinity for CB1 receptors. CB1 receptors are found in high concentrations in the brain, and are the pathways responsible for the psychoactive effects of THC.
The RATIO
For anxiety, depression, spasms, and pediatric seizure disorders, many patients initially find they do best with a moderate dose of a CBD-dominant remedy (a CBD:THC ratio of more than 10:1). But a low THC remedy, while not intoxicating, is not necessarily the best therapeutic option. A combination of CBD and THC will likely have a greater therapeutic effect for a wider range of conditions than CBD or THC alone. For cancer, neurological disease, and many other ailments, patients may benefit from a balanced ratio of CBD and THC. Extensive clinical research has shown that a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio is effective for neuropathic pain.

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.
Rare cannabis cannabinoids: what are their benefits?
Cannabis contains approximately 100 cannabinoids, including CBG and CBN, which are being studied for their reported therapeutic properties. CBG-rich strains are being studied for treating inflammatory bowel disease and glaucoma, demonstrating the vast medicinal potential of cannabis beyond just THC and CBD.
Why are low-THC strains reportedly better for some people?
Low-THC strains are quickly gaining popularity in the cannabis world due to their lack of psychoactive effects. As the world gradually increases cannabis legality and the potential benefits of the plant are more researched, we are quickly learning that there is much more to cannabis than the representation we see in old movies. Low THC strains are reportedly providing a way for the potential benefits of cannabis to be felt by a greater number of people.
Why was cannabis grown in Central America and the Caribbean historically significant?
Traditional cannabis cultivation and use in Central America and the Caribbean dates back centuries. This long tradition has produced genetically pure, local-adapted landrace strains. Many current popular hybrids are in fact based on these landraces.
Do genetics affect cannabis strain sweetness?
Absolutely! Sweet strains include Indica and Sativa genetics. This genetic variability gives hybrid strains a wide range of sweet flavours.
