Carmagnola Strain Overview
Carmagnola is a historic Italian cannabis landrace strain that originated in the town of Carmagnola in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, near Turin. This ancient variety has been cultivated for centuries, primarily for industrial hemp production and fiber manufacturing. The strain takes its name from the Italian town where it was extensively grown and became central to the region's hemp industry. During the French Revolution, hemp clothing made from Carmagnola fibers became known as "carmagnoles" - the distinctive striped waistcoats worn by the revolutionary sans-culottes. The strain represents one of the oldest traditional dioecious hemp varieties in Europe, serving as the genetic foundation for other Italian hemp varieties including Ferrarese, Bolognese, and Toscana through selective breeding. In modern times, Carmagnola has experienced a renaissance as a high-CBD medical strain, valued for its therapeutic properties while maintaining legal compliance due to its extremely low THC content. The variety is now recognized by the European Union as an approved Cannabis sativa cultivar for agricultural use and has become the standard for European high-CBD hemp production.

Carmagnola Strain Growing Information
Carmagnola is a sativa-dominant strain (80% sativa/20% indica) that is relatively easy to grow and highly adaptable. The plant has a long growth cycle of 160-180 days with flowering time of 8-10 weeks for feminized versions. It can reach impressive heights of 2.5-6.5 meters outdoors, making it ideal for large-scale cultivation. Indoor yields average 350-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 650-1000 grams per plant. The strain thrives in Mediterranean climates with warm summers and mild winters but is robust enough for cooler climates with adequate sunlight. It performs well both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. The plant produces dense, resinous flowers rich in CBD and is particularly valued for industrial hemp production, biomass extraction, and seed production.
