  • Publication number: 20220152138
    Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided novel hemp Cannabis cultivars with THC content of 0.2% by dry weight and a unique terpene profile. The cultivars exhibit increased CBD content of greater than about 1.07% by weight. The plants also have increased plant height and decreased branching that allows for increased yields of hemp and CBD content per acre. This invention thus relates to the seeds of hemp Cannabis cultivars of the invention, to the plants of hemp Cannabis cultivars of the invention, to plant parts of hemp Cannabis cultivars of the invention, to methods for producing a Cannabis cultivar by crossing the hemp Cannabis cultivars of the invention with another Cannabis cultivar, and to methods for producing a Cannabis cultivar containing in its genetic material one or more backcross conversion traits or transgenes and to the backcross conversion Cannabis plants and plant parts produced by those methods.
