Focus Cannabis seed of collected lines and hybrids bred from them; plant nutrient products


Cannabiogen (styled CannaBioGen on its early website) is a Spanish company, named CBG Designs S.L. since 2014, whose website was selling cannabis seed under its own name in 2002 and now offers a range of plant nutrient products.[1][2] The company described most of its lines as landrace stock brought back from abroad, together with hybrids it bred from them.[1]

Its Pakistan Chitral Kush line was also sold by ACE Seeds, whose listing credits Cannabiogen with breeding it since the mid-1990s.[3]

Corporate identity

The company was incorporated on 24 May 2002.[4] Its registered office moved to Alcobendas in 2012.[5] The Mercantile Registry of Madrid inscribed the change of its name from Cannabiogen S.L. to CBG Designs S.L. on 28 April 2014.[6] The office moved to Pedrezuela in 2018.[7] All three entries are on the same registry sheet.[5][6][7]

In 2002 the website listed a CannaBioGen distributor with premises in Madrid.[8] In 2013 the site's footer carried the company name Cannabiogen, s.l., a fiscal address in Alcobendas, a postal address at El Molar and a grow shop, Cannabiogrowshop, at the Alcobendas address.[9] By 2015 the same contact details were headed CBG Designs S.L., under the line "© 2014 CBG DESIGNS S.L.".[10] The present legal notice is issued by CBG Designs S.L., of Pedrezuela.[11]

The collection as the company described it

The 2002 website said the collection came from 20 years of travel "in search of the grail" in Jamaica, Colombia, Pakistan, India and Thailand, followed by selection among more than 100 varieties.[1] Its English page went on:


"The mayority of the varieties we carry are from original landrace stock, cultivated in their respective lands for generations and brought back by ourselves and our friends who have travelled to those far away places in search of cannabis seeds with the purpose of safeguarding them for posterity."[1]


The same page said the company had also hybridised some of these lines with modern indoor drug cultivars.[1] The account was still on the site in 2016, where the travels had become "more than twenty years".[12]

The site said that seed lots were tested for germination every three months and that seed was rested for 40 days after harvest. It claimed that CannaBioGen was the first cannabis seed bank to put an expiry date on its lots.[1] The 2016 version repeats the claim.[12] The 2002 legal notice stated that in countries such as Spain, where unauthorised cultivation could be an offence, the seed was sold only for industrial applications, collection or genetic preservation.[13]

Lines

Destroyer, sold as a pure sativa, was a cross of Meao Thai with what the Spanish page called a very stable, early hybrid from Mexico and Colombia; the site said its development took more than seven years.[14] Sugar Loaf crossed a mother grown from seed "brought back from Pakistan" with a male the company called Capricho, itself "a backcrossed Manali x Colombian".[15] Sand Storm crossed a mother "from the Chitral Kush region" with "an exceptional male clone from Arabene, Morroco".[16] Taskenti, sold as a pure indica, was said to originate in Uzbekistan.[17]

The 2013 catalogue added Caribe ("Jamaica x Jamaica/NL5Haze") and Leshaze, which crossed a line from Lesotho with SkunkHaze.[18] Limited releases in 2013 carried country names: Colombia Mangobiche, Colombia Punto Rojo, Ghana and Mexico Jarilla Sinaloa. The site called Mangobiche a line "of uncertain origins" and "one of the few old lines which still survive in the country".[19] The site also sold the lines of other seed businesses, among them Tom Hill, Tropical Seeds and Underground Seeds.[20]

The Sand Storm patent summary

In 2002 the research and development section of the site published a page for Sand Storm whose heading calls it the summary of a European patent application.[21] It says the line is a cross of a Moroccan male coded Mi7B7 with a Pakistani female coded CHK1984, states that both parent varieties came from traditional cultivation and gives the hybrid the catalogue code ST1998-1. The page says that the company was preparing patents for its hybrids as proof of their genetic purity.[21]

Pakistan Chitral Kush and ACE Seeds

Cannabiogen's 2013 listing for Pakistan Chitral Kush (PCK) called the company the line's original breeders ("Criadores originales") and placed its source at Chitral in the Hindu Kush of Pakistan. It said that work on the line began in the Iberian peninsula in the mid-1990s and that the line had been selected and reproduced over more than five generations while keeping wide genetic diversity in the population.[9] ACE Seeds' English listing for the line, in a copy archived in February 2024, says the line was "bred since the mid-90’s by Cannabiogen".[3]

In 2016 the ACE Seeds website had a brand section for Cannabiogen beside its own brand and Original Delicatessen. Its English page listed 17 Cannabiogen products and reproduced Cannabiogen's description of its collection.[22]

The company announced a members' club, Club CannaBioGen, on its site in 2002.[23] In February 2010 the club's forum had sections for Cannabiogen's own lines, for the lines of Tom Hill and for those of ACE Seeds, among them Tikal, Panama, Orient Express and Nepal Jam.[24]

Delta nutrient range

The site also sold plant nutrient products under the name Delta. In 2018 the home page listed Delta 8, Delta 9 and Delta 10 next to Destroyer Fem and other seed.[25] In April 2021 it still listed feminised Pakistan Chitral Kush seed.[26] In May 2022 the home page offered the four products of the Delta range, Delta Uno, Delta Ocho, Delta Nueve and Delta Diez.[27] The shop then sold T-shirts printed with the Destroyer and PCK names.[28] The present site calls Delta Nueve a flowering bio-stimulant for professional and industrial use.[2]
