Centennial Seeds was founded in August 2009 by with the aim of developing and producing high quality cannabis seeds for medical purposes.The founder saw the obvious need for reliable and well researched genetics in his local area. For some time previous to starting Centennial seeds he had been breeding and perfecting his seed production methods, early on recognising the value of preserving geographically isolated ‘landrace’ strains for use as breeding parents. This led to the creation of a private cannabis seed bank with over three hundred distinct genetic lines. Centennial Seeds’s library represents a fantastic body of genetic material spanning five continents. Its value lies in the wonderful variety of chemotypical and physical characteristics that nature has designed and evolved in Cannabis sativa, from high THC strains to those rich in CBD or with distinct growth patterns, smells, leave shapes etc . The distinct characteristics are many, and all deserve research.Centennial Seeds is proud to offer cannabinoid readings for strains where possible. They believe this should give buyers a better indication as to the potential of the genetics. All development testing and results given have been produced by FSL from dried material grown in Centennial Seeds’s facilities under standardized conditions.
The Otto seed line began in 2009 with an unknown seed sample given to me by Bob Winnicki, founder of Full Spectrum Labs.This original material was highly variable, but it did contain a number of high CBD:THC ratio plants that became the early breeding parents of today’s Otto II(TM).The Otto II is a hybrid high-CBD hemp seed developed in Colorado. Otto II is stable and breeds true for high-ratio CBD expression. Otto II is excellent for use in botanical extraction applications.The plants are vigorous and can be quite large. Flowering is complete indoors at 70-77 days. Grown in sunlight along Colorado’s Front Range, flowers reach their peak resin content in late September to early October..When Otto II is grown as industrial hemp we recommended that ”9-THC levels are assayed 3 to 5 weeks prior to anticipated harvest to verify that the crop meets the statute for maximum delta9-THC levels. Testing is crucial during periods of unusually hot weather and drought conditions which may increase total ”9-THC levels in hemp plants.The Otto II seed is being released today and will be available for purchase while supplies last.
