Definitions
- Cannabis spp. Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Cannabis spp.
- Cannabis is the genus of a variety of species— Cannabis sativa, Cannabis ruderalis, and Cannabis indica —which is often used as an umbrella term to refer to them all. This misclassification of the different species has made it difficult to properly distinguish between and understand the best ways to utilize the different varieties of these plants.
- THC tetrahydrocannabinol
- ‘C2B’ Unlike many other Cannabis varieties, ‘C2B’ has a 25:9:1 cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD:CBC:THC) ratio which has not been identified thus far in other strains. Therefore, ‘C2B’ can be used to extract CBD and CBC for medicinal applications.
- CBD cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetrahydrocannabinol
- CBD has been proven to alleviate nausea, chronic pain, and spasticity due to MS, to reduce blood pressure, to work as an anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, and anti-inflammatory and so much more.
- CBC has only been isolated in such small concentrations that extensive research is required to continue understanding the possibilities for this compound. So far, CBC has been shown to act as an antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, is used to treat acne and hypermotility, and is rumored to kill cancer cells.
- ‘C2B’ was developed in a selective breeding program by performing controlled fertilization of known, high-performing hemp varieties. It was created by breeding both Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica species together to create this unique hybrid. The purpose of the research was to determine what methods would allow for low THC levels in stressful, less-than-ideal environmental conditions (e.g., low-pH soil, high-salinity soil, dry environments, short growing seasons, etc.). The research also was striving to isolate varieties of plants with high concentrations of cannabinoids that have not been isolated in mass. ‘C2B’ was the best-performing individual selected from 200 seed phenotypes with CBC levels nearly four to eight times the industry average. Most Cannabis varieties have no detectable level of CBC, and none of the other plants of the 200 seed phenotypes exhibited more than 50% of the ‘C2B’ CBC levels.
- stressful, less-than-ideal environmental conditions e.g., low-pH soil, high-salinity soil, dry environments, short growing seasons, etc.
- This invention relates to a new and distinctive hemp cultivar designated as ‘C2B’, wherein ‘C2B’ comprises a cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetrahydrocannabinol ratio of 25:9:1 which is 4-8 times the average amount of cannabichromene found in other Cannabis varieties.
- cultivar is used interchangeably with the terms “variety,” strain,” and/or “clone.”
- Progenies have been reproduced asexually via apical stem cuttings from vegetative plants.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a CC mother on the left next to a ‘C2B’ on the right, both grown from clones and planted in soil at the same time, at 23 days from the time the clones were planted in soil;
- FIG. 2 shows top views of apical buds of a CC mother on the left and of a ‘C2B’ on the right, at 21 days after the flowering cycle was introduced;
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a defoliated ‘C2B’ plant on day 26 of the flowering cycle (due to defoliation, branching is not natural);
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a ‘C2B’ plant on day 25 after the rockwool clone was planted in soil, grown in 24-hour light with no defoliation or manipulation other than initially being planted in a 3-inch pot then being transplanted to a 3-gallon pot;
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of ‘C2B’ taken two weeks prior to harvest
- FIG. 6 shows a close-up perspective view of ‘C2B’ stem, illustrating stem shape
- FIG. 7 shows a close-up perspective view of CC mother stem, illustrating stem shape.
- Herbaceous plant (herb) Plant Growth Upright, dioecious, annual, no hermaphrodite, Habit or monoecious, tendencies without stress conditions. Plant origin ‘C2B’ was created in a selective breeding program from a cross between the Mother, CC, hemp variety and the Father, K, hemp variety.

- the leaves with the petiole are about 12 to 24 cm long and the petiole alone is about 4.2 to 8 cm long.
- the middle largest leaflet is about 7 to 16 cm long and 1.5 to 2 cm wide for a 4:1 or 8:1 length to width ratio.
- the K variety has the potential to produce 4% to 6% CBD and 0.13% to 0.27% THC which is lower than ‘C2B’ and K has no detectable levels of CBC.
- ‘C2B’ and the K father due to the different appearances between male and female Cannabis plants. For example, males produce pollen sacs, are more-stout and taller, and have thicker stalks while females produce buds that grow into inflorescences and are usually shorter.
- ‘C2B’ When compared to the CC mother, ‘C2B’ is generally a taller, more-slender plant. The ‘C2B’ grows faster with longer internodes which allows for the plant to reach taller heights but does not have as many leaves nor buds. The leaves of ‘C2B’ themselves even show similarities to the growth of the plant, with CC having leaflets that are much broader and with a smaller length:width ratio. The ‘C2B’ leaves more closely resemble the father, K, rather than the mother, CC. ‘C2B’ generally grows much-longer and skinnier leaflets that contribute to its sparse appearance. On the margins, ‘C2B’ has 28-32 serrations whereas CC has only 23-25.
- CC is bushier and has more leaves growing radially around the buds with the apical bud fully surrounded.
- ‘C2B’ has buds that only have one or two leaves surrounding it and the apical has leaves that radiate in different layers. The distinction in density of leaves is prominent because the ‘C2B’ has long internodes where leaves grow which produce more space between the already-skinny leaves. At nodes where branches protrude from the stem, CC has smooth junctions (see FIG. 7 ), whereas ‘C2B’ has a bulge at the connection point (see FIG. 6 ).
- the ‘C2B’ When compared to another Cannabis sativa Hemp variety, CW24, the ‘C2B’ grows much skinnier and with less foliage.
- the CW24 grows flowers that are clustered and stack on top of one another near the apex of each branch. The leaves are generally radiating around each bud and grow tall and erect with no bending at maturity.
- ‘C2B’ on the other hand, grows much more sparsely, with buds grown separately and spread out by large internodes.

Abstract
The present invention provides a new and distinct variety of hemp designated as ‘C2B’, wherein ‘C2B’ comprises a cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetryhydrocannabinol ratio of 25:9:1 which is 4-8 times greater than the average amount of cannabichromene found in other Cannabis varieties.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Cannabis spp.
Variety denomination: ‘C2B’.
Cannabis is the genus of a variety of species—Cannabis sativa, Cannabis ruderalis, and Cannabis indica—which is often used as an umbrella term to refer to them all. This misclassification of the different species has made it difficult to properly distinguish between and understand the best ways to utilize the different varieties of these plants.
According to the 2018 Farm Bill, Hemp is a variety of Cannabis sativa that is distinguished by its low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels of less than 0.3%. THC is the only currently known psychoactive compound found in Cannabis, however there are many additional cannabinoid compounds that can be utilized in a variety of ways. The exact concentration results based on lab testing of dried flowers will vary depending on growing conditions of the plant, and sampling, preparation, and testing methods used. THC production, for example, is a natural defense mechanism for the plant, meaning in high stress or threatening environments the specific plant will produce higher levels of THC. Because of this inconsistency, many state labs are allowing slightly higher levels of THC in the tests as anything under 1% THC has not been proven to have psychoactive effects.
For the purpose of this study on ‘C2B’, the cannabinoid percentages are recorded based on a plant grown in a high-stress environment to determine the maximum concentration of THC that will be produced by this specific strain. The results conclude that the ‘C2B’ is a type-III hemp cultivar meaning it does not possess the allele to ever make more than 0.5% THC (and thus is not suitable for marijuana use). Additionally, ‘C2B’ is a new, unique variety because of its composition of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Unlike many other Cannabis varieties, ‘C2B’ has a 25:9:1 cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD:CBC:THC) ratio which has not been identified thus far in other strains. Therefore, ‘C2B’ can be used to extract CBD and CBC for medicinal applications.
With the recent legalization of hemp in 2018, the studies on medicinal effects of CBD are only at the beginning. CBD has been proven to alleviate nausea, chronic pain, and spasticity due to MS, to reduce blood pressure, to work as an anticonvulsant, antipsychotic, and anti-inflammatory and so much more. CBC, on the other hand, has only been isolated in such small concentrations that extensive research is required to continue understanding the possibilities for this compound. So far, CBC has been shown to act as an antidepressant and anti-inflammatory, is used to treat acne and hypermotility, and is rumored to kill cancer cells.
‘C2B’ was developed in a selective breeding program by performing controlled fertilization of known, high-performing hemp varieties. It was created by breeding both Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica species together to create this unique hybrid. The purpose of the research was to determine what methods would allow for low THC levels in stressful, less-than-ideal environmental conditions (e.g., low-pH soil, high-salinity soil, dry environments, short growing seasons, etc.). The research also was striving to isolate varieties of plants with high concentrations of cannabinoids that have not been isolated in mass. ‘C2B’ was the best-performing individual selected from 200 seed phenotypes with CBC levels nearly four to eight times the industry average. Most Cannabis varieties have no detectable level of CBC, and none of the other plants of the 200 seed phenotypes exhibited more than 50% of the ‘C2B’ CBC levels.
This invention relates to a new and distinctive hemp cultivar designated as ‘C2B’, wherein ‘C2B’ comprises a cannabidiol:cannabichromene:tetrahydrocannabinol ratio of 25:9:1 which is 4-8 times the average amount of cannabichromene found in other Cannabis varieties.
As used herein, the term “cultivar” is used interchangeably with the terms “variety,” strain,” and/or “clone.”
Progenies have been reproduced asexually via apical stem cuttings from vegetative plants.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the new hemp variety:
‘C2B’ has been examined in manipulated conditions grown indoors in Black Point, Calif. The variety has not been grown in all possible conditions, thus different environmental factors alter the appearance or composition of this phenotype. The individual has been reproduced asexually via apical stem cuttings from vegetative plants and remains stable and reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.

The K father, similar to ‘C2B’, has alternate, palmately compound leaves with 3 to 5 leaflets when immature and up to 9 at maturity. The leaflets have jagged serrate margins with the tooth apex angled towards the leaflet apex and about 19 to 29 teeth per leaflet. The leaves with the petiole are about 12 to 24 cm long and the petiole alone is about 4.2 to 8 cm long. The middle largest leaflet is about 7 to 16 cm long and 1.5 to 2 cm wide for a 4:1 or 8:1 length to width ratio. Generally, the K variety has the potential to produce 4% to 6% CBD and 0.13% to 0.27% THC which is lower than ‘C2B’ and K has no detectable levels of CBC. Other physical differences are present between ‘C2B’ and the K father due to the different appearances between male and female Cannabis plants. For example, males produce pollen sacs, are more-stout and taller, and have thicker stalks while females produce buds that grow into inflorescences and are usually shorter.
When compared to the CC mother, ‘C2B’ is generally a taller, more-slender plant. The ‘C2B’ grows faster with longer internodes which allows for the plant to reach taller heights but does not have as many leaves nor buds. The leaves of ‘C2B’ themselves even show similarities to the growth of the plant, with CC having leaflets that are much broader and with a smaller length:width ratio. The ‘C2B’ leaves more closely resemble the father, K, rather than the mother, CC. ‘C2B’ generally grows much-longer and skinnier leaflets that contribute to its sparse appearance. On the margins, ‘C2B’ has 28-32 serrations whereas CC has only 23-25. Although both plants grow relatively solitary, non-overlapping buds, CC is bushier and has more leaves growing radially around the buds with the apical bud fully surrounded. ‘C2B’ has buds that only have one or two leaves surrounding it and the apical has leaves that radiate in different layers. The distinction in density of leaves is prominent because the ‘C2B’ has long internodes where leaves grow which produce more space between the already-skinny leaves. At nodes where branches protrude from the stem, CC has smooth junctions (see FIG. 7 ), whereas ‘C2B’ has a bulge at the connection point (see FIG. 6 ).
When compared to another Cannabis sativa Hemp variety, CW24, the ‘C2B’ grows much skinnier and with less foliage. The CW24 grows flowers that are clustered and stack on top of one another near the apex of each branch. The leaves are generally radiating around each bud and grow tall and erect with no bending at maturity. ‘C2B’, on the other hand, grows much more sparsely, with buds grown separately and spread out by large internodes.
- Growth conditions:
-
- Vegetative growth period.—24 hour light continuously. 78° F. and 60% humidity.
- Flower production period.—12 hour light followed by 12 hour dark cycle repeating. 78° F. and 45% humidity.
-
- Outdoor growth: ‘C2B’ was grown outdoors on a farm located in Sonoma County, Calif. The plants were planted as 30-day clones early in the season, Aug. 16, 2019, resulting in an early flowering stage and smaller adult plants. The ‘C2B’ plant has the potential to reach a maximum of 15 to 17 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Compared to indoor growth, the plant will be more robust and have a faster growth rate with wider leaves. When grown outdoors, the father, K, variety will reach 10 to 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide and the mother, CC, variety will reach 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide.
- Vigor: Exhibits most-vigorous and rapid growth when transitioning between vegetative and flowering growth.
- Coloration: Deep bluish green with a lighter, yellowish underside. Changes in coloration occur with nutrient deficiencies or other variation in growing maintenance.
