Sour Space Candy
If you enjoy a sour twist, this one is for. Sour Space Candy is a blend of Sour Tsunami and Early Resin Berry. This CBD rich hybrid also has some pretty pungent aromatics.

Not to be confused with the Australian rock band, this strain is made using the genetics of the famous Cannatonic.
ACDC has quickly risen to become a CBD rich rock star in its own right.
Reportedly this is one of the strongest CBD strains out there, this behemoth could have CBD levels well up in the 20 percent range.

Lifter
Like many other high CBD hemp strains, Lifter owes part of its genes to Early Resin Berry. The other half of Lifter’s genetics, however, is supplied by the super famous CBD strain Suver Haze. Lifter’s appearance is one of its most fascinating features as it’s unnaturally dark compared with other strains. Don’t be surprised if you see a bit of brown mixed in with dark green when you lift your Lifter buds towards the light. Flavour-wise, you’ll notice high traces of fruits like berries when taking a smoke of Lifter. Like the name suggests, Lifter is designed to add a boost to your daily routine, so it’s best used earlier in the day.

Special Sauce Premium
The reason Special Sauce Premium is so “special” mainly has to do with its high terpene profile. Believe it or not, there are over 15 different terpenes in a standard Special Sauce, which makes for an unforgettable flavour experience. A few compounds that give Special Sauce Premium its exotic floral taste include farnesene (found in apple skins), fenchol (found in camphor), and phytol (found in chlorophyll). This special strain also has a mildly spicy fragrance reminiscent of hops. For people with a refined palate, look no further than the Special Sauce Premium strain.
