HO40 x Auto Durban THCV

Type 1, Varin Rich

Homage to the original:  this is the most elaborate backcross available on the cannabis seed market today.  Our original diploid HO40 THCV germplasm was used--many generations ago--to develop the pollen donor “Auto Durban THCV” line.  Several years ago, we also converted the original diploid HO40 to a tetraploid (doubling its genome through inhibited cell division). 

In doing so, we’ve unlocked the possibility to offer a triploid THCV-dominant variety, harness the incredible yield potential of the original HO40 plant, and cut down it’s long flowering time by hybridizing with a day neutral line.

Look out for a beast of a plant with plenty of varin production for extraction or just the biggest plant on the block.

What is a triploid?

Plants in the wild are traditionally diploids, meaning they have 2 sets of chromosome pairs from each parent. Triploids are plants that have 4 sets of chromosome pairs from one parent and 2 sets from another, 4N + 2N = 3N. Triploids are very common in agriculture, from bananas, to seedless grapes, seedless watermelons, and seedless citrus.

Why triploids?

Triploids are basically sterile and do not like to make seeds. We also see more vigorous growth, bigger production, denser flowers, and more profound aromas. They are beasts! Side by side you can truly tell the difference in quality and yield.

How are triploid cannabis seeds made?

In order to make a triploid, we convert one of the parents to a tetraploid by applying colchicine. The process takes months and requires consistent testing using flow cytometry to ensure the parent is in fact a tetraploid. From there we pollinate it with diploid pollen. Tetraploids don't really like to make seeds either and we generally yield about 25% of the seed we would on a normal crop - hence the price tag.

Are triploids 100% seedless?

While triploids do not like to make seeds, they can produce small amounts under heavy amounts of pollination. If you are growing near large populations of males - i.e. grain or fiber cannabis crops or abandoned hemp farms, you may find a few.

Are triploids GMO?

Triploid seeds are not GMO, and our triploid hemp varieties are certified organic. Our THC varieties would be certified, but the USDA does not certify THC genetics.

Well-grown crops with good field conditions and accurate testing can yield 15-30% total cannabinoids variety dependent.

Growing technique, nutrient regime, sampling protocol, drying method, post-harvest handling, and laboratory accuracy all factor into total cannabinoid content on a crop-wide average.

Ratios refer to CBD, CBG, or CBDV/CBD percentages to total THC.

These COA's were taken from plants 30 days pre-harvest as required by the US Department of Agriculture, and are not an accurate representation of finished flower cannabinoid content.

For finished flower results we suggest seeking out results from other farmers who have grown our varieties. We cannot guarantee finished flower results, so we do not post them.

All seeds are feminized seeds.

A minimum of 10% extra seed is added to every order.

All seeds contain less than 0.3% total THC. Understand your local laws and ordinances before planting.
