Hybrid Marijuana Strains
The hybrid Marijuana strains are a mixture of sativa, indica and/or ruderalis genetics, and have become very popular. Each strain has its benefits and produces different amounts of CBD and THC. Hybridization allows the grower to select the most desirable traits of the mother varieties. Also to transmit them to their offspring. For example, a breeder can develop a variety with a high THC content, or rich in a certain terpene.
A very current example of the importance of hybrids can be seen in how CBD is increasingly popular. Which is more accepted as a therapeutic substance. Today, breeders look for the desired CBD: THC ratio of 1:1. This is achieved through a meticulous selection and hybridization. Since there are no autochthonous varieties that present this cannabinoid profile naturally and consistently.
Hybrids can also be produced in nature, but tend to be more unstable. Breeders can create more stable genes through several generations of inbreeding, in an act known as backcrossing.
Hybrid high effects cannabis seeds are the result of crossing Sativa and Indica genetics. In the 1980s, when the growers began to make crosses between the Indica and Sativa varieties, this balanced effect between body and mind emerged while seeking to increase vegetative production.
The hybrid high effects are a combination of the psychoactive qualities of Sativa and Indica plants. Which cause decreasing the feeling of drowsiness and providing more mental clarity; where the buzz is compensated with a little lucidity. Being a mixed effect, we notice more the high, changing from one sensation to another. Being hybrid plants are varieties more resistant to mold, moisture or over fertilization.
5 Things you didn’t know about hybrid Cannabis:
- Some countries have legalized the recreational use of this drug. Canada has become the first G-20 country to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. Smoking a porrito in the richest neighbor of the USA is now as legal as drinking a beer. Or inhaling the nicotine of a cigarette, although much more controversial.
- The fact that it is legal in many countries allows us to make an idea of the safety profile of this drug. But some have bothered to calculate the necessary amount of marijuana to suffering a lethal overdose. And it is a figure that is literally impossible to reach. It would be necessary to consume 680 kilos of the plant in 15 minutes to die because of hybrid edibles effects.
- Men may be interested in hearing the following: studies suggest that women cultivate better hybrid weed. While the men arrive, they bundle it and are clumsy in the garden, the women are more patient, friendly and pay more attention to the details.
- Women are fueling the Hybrid Medical Marijuana Flowers boom. The potential of cannabis has been proven to combat menstrual pain and the effects of menopause. Also help in a wide range of conditions, from cancer to arthritis or insomnia.
- According to a study by Washington State University; women’s estrogen levels make them more sensitive to the pain relief qualities of THC. The same study also suggests that women have a greater tolerance than men to cannabis. So keep that in mind, buddy, and the next time you’re drooling under the table while your partner is still fresh as a rose!
