So if we cross the males to high CBD strains do we get high CBD strains?
It isn't that easy and unfortunately getting a breeder to tell you how they are doing it is like getting blood from a turnip. I have talked with a few at length and I honestly don't think they know exactly how it is being done which is why a lot of them are teaming up with CBD crew to create crosses. It doesn't follow the typical breeding principals of phenotypes. From what I have been told is it is virtually impossible to breed for CBD without testing. I would typically think that is breeder talk for, "We don't want you to know" but I really don't think they have a handle on it quite yet.
I see your in cali, if you have a medical card you can get harle-tsu there which is supposed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 17:1 CBD:THC if I remember correctly. A friend picked some up for me from Southen Humboldt Seed Org I believe. There is supposed to be pretty reliable as well, I think 7 out of 10 high cbd but don't quote me. I don't have the info right in front of my at the moment.
