Cannatonic is a variety from Resin seeds, a

Spanish cannabis seedbank, founded in

2008.

Jaime is the founder and breeder of Resin

Seeds. He has been active in the grow scene of Spain

since 1998, when he opened one of the first grow shops

of Spain in Barcelona. Since then he has been involved

in the Spanish grow scene, participating and various

grow shop projects and as speaker in grow seminars.

On Sunday 27th January 2008, the strain Cannatonic

of Resin Seeds won the 3rd prize in the Sativas category

at the 21st High Times Cannabis Cup in

Amsterdam.

The real surprise though came during the Spannabis

fair in Barcelona 2009, at the stand of CANNA, 2 different

sample of Cannatonic tested high on THC and

CBD. An amazing result considering that expensive

pharmaceutical products like Sativex© have this 1:1

ratio between THC:CBD - a ratio very difficult to find

in Cannabis where the biochemestry of the plant pushes

to either have a THC or CBD domaniant variety.

Jaime was indeed looking for a medicinal strain and

Cannatonic turned out to be the real queen of CBD!

Genetics

Cannatonic represents the best of both worlds, a phenotype

selected from the hybrid cross between a female

MK Ultra (F1) & the all time famous G13 Haze male.

Grows like an Indica, smells like a Sativa, and renders

you...

Flowering:

Interior 9-10 weeks / Exterior October

Yield:

Interior 500gr per m2 / Exterior 250-400 gr per plant

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major, non psychotropic constituent

of cannabis. It has been shown to cause numerous

physiological effects of therapeutic importance.

Its exact chemical structure was elucidated by Dr.

Mechoulam and Dr. Shvo.

In the last 15 years we have had a remarkable increase

in number of scientific publications on CBD, mainly

stimulated by the discovery of its anti-inflammatory,

anti-oxidative and neuroprotective effects. ¡

CBD has an extremely safe profile in humans, and it

has been clinically evaluated (albeit in a preliminary

fashion) for the treatment of anxiety, psychosis, and

movement disorders. There is good pre-clinical evidence

to warrant clinical studies into its use for the

treatment of diabetes, ischemia and cancer.

In which Cannabis plants and

products do we find CBD ?

Most of the varieties of industrial hemp, from which

we extract natural fiber and seeds for food products,

are CBD dominant and contain an average 4%CBD /

0.3%THC

Most Cannabis consumed in the recreational market is

THC dominant, meaning that it ranks high in THC

and very low in CBD (on average 12% THC / 0.2%

CBD). Breeders efforts to increase the THC content of

their varieties have left CBD (not dominant) down to

very low levels.

In hashish, especially the one made in the Himalayas

and Morocco, CBD is usually present in concentrations

that are equal and sometimes superior than the ones of

THC (I.e 12%THC / 11%CBD). This is due to the fact

that hashish is made by extracting the resin from a

large population of plants, which have grown outdoors

from mixed seeds THC dominant plants are harvested

and dried together with CBD dominant plants. During

the extraction process the extracted resin from all

plants is mixed together – therefore bringing both

cannabinoids in the final product.

More recently new varieties that contain both THC

and CBD in high concentration in the same flower have

been reported. In particular the variety Bediol, available

in pharmacies in the Netherlands, which contains

an average 6% THC and 7.5% CBD and the variety

Cannatonic, from the Spanish seedbank Resin Seeds

with 6.9%THC and 6.2%CBD, as tested by CANNA

research at Spannabis 2009

I think that test company that in USA who goes the shows had done some top tests,some high reports he found in 2011 he was showing a brochure with which have come in for test,alot are hi but unknowns or secret to clubs but theres alot of THCs at 25% an I nelieve the cannatonic is what you want but do a google or watch treating your self expo on youtube,urban grower has it deffo..

Imj sure just leaving them to ripen longer alos raises CBD an what not..

That company,you can post your bu,get it tested for every thing and remain annonymous,I think its deer though..

Hopefully Governments follow and test and the of course legalise it or medicly at the very least.

Whilst this link does not give strains with cbd, it does do valuable research in the the medicinal values of cbd.
