Craft Cannabis Seeds – Breeding for Success

Craft Cannabis Seeds – Breeding for Success

 Vigor. Potency. High terpenes. Classic sativa traits. Disease resistance. Pest resistance. Productivity. Energizing, euphoric, creative effects.

Those are the goals of my craft cannabis seed breeding program. 

It’s early August, and I am pleased to report that my seed plants are thus far meeting my breeding goals. They are now 6 to 8 foot tall and extremely vigorous. They have had no pest or disease problems. Plus, they smell great!

My plants are slowly revealing their gender, and I am weeding out unwanted males. I am also in the process of selecting my male “pollen donors.”

The “lucky males” under consideration come from a seed mom who tested highest in terpenes, with over 4.5% total terpenes by weight, Dominant terpenes included pinene (1.67%), myrcene (1.29%), caryophyllene (.47%), limonene (.41%), linalool (.30%), humulene (.17%), and guaiol (.135%).

The seed mom also tested 23.5% total cannabinoids, and displayed strong sativa traits, including narrow leaves, long nodes, red stems, strong growth and vigor, with sweet, floral odors.

Once the plants have been harvested, all seed plants will be tested for cannabinoids and terpenes, and I will post the results on my website.

Until then, I will tend my plants and delight in their presence!

Happy Growing!
