Also known as: Ceiba CBD, Ceiba Hemp
Overview
Ceiba is a premium CBD-dominant hemp strain developed by Northern Roots Nursery in Vermont. Named after the breeder's rescue dog from Puerto Rico, this expertly crafted cultivar represents a sophisticated breeding achievement that combines three legendary hemp genetics. Created from a phenotype of Cannatonic crossed with a Harlequin x Sour Tsunami hybrid, Ceiba was specifically developed to thrive in Vermont's challenging climate while delivering exceptional therapeutic properties.
This sativa-dominant hybrid exhibits dense, frosty flowers covered in abundant trichomes and packed with aromatic terpenes. The strain displays spear-shaped colas with more rounded buds on lower nodes, creating an attractive flower structure that is both visually appealing and functionally superior for various consumption methods. Ceiba's flower profile presents a complex flavor combination of pungent sweetness with spicy undertones and a slight earthy herbal finish. The abundant terpene production creates a tickling sensation in the nose and contributes to the strain's distinctive aromatic profile.
Ceiba stands out in the hemp market for its exceptional cannabinoid concentration, typically exceeding 20% total phytocannabinoids with CBD content reaching over 17%. This remarkable potency, combined with its balanced terpene profile featuring caryophyllene, humulene, bisabolol, and pinene, creates an effective entourage effect that users report as immediately calming and uplifting. The strain was specifically bred to be indica-dominant in structure (short and bushy) while maintaining sativa-like cerebral effects, making it extremely hardy and well-suited to Vermont's short growing season with early finishing characteristics.
