Digweed
Digweed
Also known as: Digweed CBD
Overview
Digweed is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain originally bred by House of the Great Gardener, a Spanish breeding company. The strain was created through a cross of Afghani genetics (specifically the landrace strain Ghani AF) and Sweet Tooth, an award-winning strain that won first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2001. Named after the breeder's 18-20 year old cat who had a fondness for nibbling on cannabis plants, Digweed represents a unique approach to cannabis breeding focused on achieving therapeutic benefits rather than maximum potency.
Digweed stands out in the modern cannabis landscape for its deliberately low THC content paired with unusually high CBD levels for a hybrid strain. Laboratory tests consistently show THC levels ranging from 6-10% and CBD levels from 4-8%, creating an approximate 1:1 ratio that is considered optimal for therapeutic applications without overwhelming psychoactive effects. This balanced cannabinoid profile makes Digweed particularly appealing to medical cannabis patients and users seeking mild, functional effects.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. Digweed buds are characterized by their long, pepper-shaped forest green nugs adorned with bright orange hairs and covered in a light layer of sticky resin. The plant itself grows to a compact, medium height typically reaching 3-5 feet tall, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Growing Information
Digweed has a relatively short flowering time of 7-9 weeks with some sources reporting as fast as 6-8 weeks, making it an early finisher. Expected yields range from 10-14 ounces per square meter indoors. The strain grows to a compact, medium height typically reaching 3-5 feet tall and thrives in warm climates with plenty of sunshine. It is considered a good strain for beginners due to its hardy genetics and ease of cultivation. Digweed can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better climate control. It grows well in soil or hydroponic systems and benefits from Mediterranean-like conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques including HST, LST, and ScrOG methods to increase yields and manage height.
