Anyone growing a THCV strain right now? Would be nice to see some needle leaf sativas in here! Iā€™m still looking around for some of the Jade Nectarā€¦

I started a small varin project starting with Hokuā€™s Eraser-V which is (1:1 THCV) x Eraser (Abacus x Ceiba). The Eraser-V was a nice CBD/THC/THCV/CBG rich plant that grew like a christmas tree, medium size buds, and really nice fuel like aromas. Smokes really nice with the fuel flavors but more of a relaxing strain and not very potent.

I decided to pollinate this Eraser-V with Red Snake (Oaxacan 79 x Punto Rojo) to see how the THCV would carry into the next generation. Below is a TLC test completed with leaf samples of each of the progeny at about 7 weeks in veg. This just provides a qualitative analysis of the major cannabinoids present.

Whatā€™s cool about this is that every plant contains at least small amounts of THCV and with #8 clearly having the most. Based on the results the next step is to flower them out and then Iā€™m going to create two different lines with these.

  • The first line having CBD/THC/TCHV which Iā€™m going to take the #1 male and pollinate #2 and #6. I think this one will be great if it can be stabilized a bit for making some full spectrum hash oil.

  • The second line having just THC/THCV which Iā€™ll take the #4 male and pollinate the #8 female. Iā€™m hoping this one will be a bit more potent.

Iā€™m currently only two weeks into flower with the above plants so it might be another month or two for any further updates. One thing I will be doing is testing all the final flowers to see if the ratio of THCV has gone up or down because Iā€™ve read that this does fluctuate from the early veg stage to the final flowers.

@bassman5420 These are the same seeds I had sent over for your friend and just thought they might be interested in what could be expected in terms of THCV content.

Awesome project @deeez99 ! Do you have a thread dedicated to it?
:v::grin:

Thanks! I was thinking of making another thread but thought I might just add on to an existing one that already had quite a bit of discussion and interest in it. But maybe it would make more sense to do so as it progresses, weā€™ll see. Cheers!

Feel free to take over this thread with your THCV related posts! A separate thread for a grow log would be easy to follow though, just make sure to link it here.

Iā€™m still very interested in seeing these high THCv/CBDv cultivars develop, very interesting paper you mentioned about TRE. Health benefits seem substantial with the varins! Donā€™t forget to do it OG style and spread the beans :wink:

A grow log sounds like a commitment haha j/k but yea youā€™re right might make more sense.

Yea this project was obviously with the medical side of things in mind so any of the resulting seeds form this project will be available to anyone here that is interested in growing these out :v:

Great project. Iā€™m glad youā€™re taking it on. Make a thread, no commitment. Just a place to post when you feel like it.

I saw those a while back but personally thought they were too expensive for my use. Iā€™m assuming part of that expense is that theirs are feminized triploids which means they should remain seedless even when exposed to pollen. Which would be great if you were growing a whole field of it for production use.

If youā€™re looking to buy seed then I would recommend hokuseedco.com as they just released new lines of both THCV and CBDV which are regulars (male/female). In fact their CBDV line is based on one of GTRā€™s Pinewalker feminized triploids that actually ended up being a male which Iā€™ve read can happen but very very rare.

Iā€™d for sure follow that thread my man. Iā€™ve got big time use inflammation fighting strains unfortunately and will search out the ones you say have the best qualities for it.

I have Varins G from Seattle Chronic that is supposed to have high THVC.

Thank you! Sounds like youā€™ll be a good tester candidate :wink: I guess thatā€™s the hard part for me as I donā€™t have any ailments where I can test this on myself to see if it helps a particular issue or not, really just going off otherā€™s experience and studies done.

Have you grown it yet or any other varin rich strains? I know there are many others out there including many landrace/herilooms particularly from Africa but it just seems there is a lack of testing being done for confirmation. I also have an Ethiopian clone that I kept from last outdoor season which has elevated THCV so when it grows large enough that is something Iā€™ll also breed and share with anyone that is interested.

I have not grown it just yet but will for sure. Iā€™d LOVE to grow your work brother. Iā€™d be a great candidate as just started having problems with inflammation. I hesitate to tell my doctor even though heā€™s old school and tries keeping me off pills because Iā€™d hate to add another pill to my regiment.

Oh yeah im subbed to hokuā€™s member program defiantly familiar and have some of their new lines.
Going to be following along your journey. I havenā€™t grown any thcv rich strains only a 1:1 cbdv to cbd. Iā€™d be interested in running some of your project and potentially washing it as well.

Varieties from West-Africa like Gambia, Nigeria or Ghana you will find THCV.I had one from Ghana Jawhiā€™s Joy, which was pretty amazing.Havent test her in a lab, but after smoking you will lose your appetite.

If you ever want to go through online extract vendors, I suggest mycbdhaven.com and potluckexpo.com!

Many different things to play with medicinally with cbd, cbg, cbn, cbdv, and delta 8/9 thc and thcvā€™s to try and find your own balance!

Very cool @deeez99 Iā€™m interested in this for my 21yr old son who has Epilepsy and takes several seizures almost daily despite being on 20 pills a day to stop that from happeningā€¦ If I can grab a sample of these seeds Iā€™d definitely grow them and show you the results.
