Resin Seeds

Resin Seeds is a seedbank founded in Barcelona, in 2008. Since then they have gone on win two Hightimes cannabis cup awards—in 2008 and 2013. Not only that, but they have a number of other high profile awards under their belts too, making them a force to be reckoned with. Their main focus is on growing CBD-rich strains. In fact, their strain Cannatonic provides the genetic basis for almost all CBD strains in the world today.

Who Are Resin Seeds?

Resin Seeds was founded by Jaime and Juanma. Their journey began in 1998 when Jaime opened his first cannabis grow shop, a part of the Spanish grow scene. Inspired by the medical marijuana users he encountered, he felt compelled to explore CBD-rich cannabis strains, and eventually to breed cannabis devoted to this. What followed has been incredibly successful.

Resin Seeds: Founders Of The CBD Movement

We’ve all heard of CBD by now. Well, it was Resin Seeds who begun focusing on CBD. Identifying CBD as being a potentially worthwhile property in cannabis, they set out to breed CBD-rich strains. And they succeeded. Not only did they start the movement, but the genetics of almost all CBD strains in the world can be traced back to Cannatonic.

Cannatonic: Resin Seeds' Flagship Strain

Most people have heard of Skunk #1 or Gorilla Glue. There are just some strains that have such a big impact that people know about them. Well, Cannatonic is arguably as important (if not more important) than these strains. This was the first stabilised strain with concentrated amounts of CBD present in it. It is the mother of the CBD movement. With a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio, Cannatonic won’t get you blazed, but it will bring maximum bodily relaxation.

Cannatonic (Resin Seeds) feminized

(1)

Parents: MK Ultra x G13 Haze

Genetics: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa

Flowering Time: 9-10 weeks

THC: Low

CBD: High

Flowering Type: Photoperiod

It’s a perfectly balanced hybrid with 50% indica genetics and 50% sativa. The parents of this beauty? MK Ultra and G13 Haze—two impressive cannabis strains in their own right. It should take between 9 and 10 weeks to complete the flowering phase, and yield up to 500g/m² when grown indoors. If grown outdoors, you can expect up to 400g/plant. Satisfying indica yields like these should be enough to satisfy all but the greediest of growers.

Resin Seeds: Only Feminized Cannabis Seeds

At current, the Resin Seeds catalogue is only available in feminized varieties. This means that every seed which grows into a plant will be female and produce high yields of THC and CBD-rich bud. For most, males are only a hindrance as they don't yield flowers, and if they pollinate the females, leaving you with cannabis seeds instead of bud. So unless you’re into breeding, stick with fully feminized seeds!

Most Popular Cannabis Seeds By Resin Seeds

Cannatonic is the most well known, and the most popular cannabis strain by Resin Seeds. But it is by no means the only one worthy of mention. So we’ve put together a list of our 3 favourite strains from Resin Seeds.

Critical Haze

This is a genius bit of crossbreeding to bring your favourite characteristics from the sativa-dominant Amnesia Haze into line with the huge indica yields of Critical Mass. With cerebral, almost psychedelic effects, Critical Haze will elevate you to a place of focus and joy—with just enough stimulation to keep you active. But with 22% THC, go steady as it’s pretty powerful stuff!

Taking between 10 and 11 weeks to finish flowering, it’s a bit of a slow-burner, but well worth the wait. With yields of up to 500g/m² indoors and 400g/plant outdoors, it’s got huge yields for a plant with sativa effects.

L.A. Ultra

Being 80% indica, L.A. Ultra will cause a deep stone, sinking you into your sofa. Expect long-lasting highs with a big grin on your face. Just don’t smoke it if you have a lot to do, as you may find you fail to do it. The THC sits at 23%, making it strong without being outrageous. Not far off though.

Interestingly, Resin Seeds will not say what the genetic lineage of L.A. Ultra is—they prefer to keep it secret. If this doesn’t indicate what a special plant this is then, then what will? Try growing some yourself and you’ll see the name doesn’t disappoint. This is a speedy one, taking as little as 7 weeks to reach maturity once it begins to flower. So for the impatient among you, perhaps this is the strain to choose.
