The Mother Of Modern CBD Strains: Juanita La Lagrimosa
Contents:
The Origin of Juanita La Lagrimosa
The demand for CBD is higher than ever. Breeders have developed 1:1 strains that offer equal parts CBD and THC. These varieties boast CBD’s non-psychotropic effects alongside a subtle high. However, breeders have pushed the envelope even further, giving rise to 1:20 THC:CBD strains. These offer a unique experience compared to traditional high-THC variants.
CBD cultivars have taken the market by storm. But where did it all start? Was it the result of intense selective breeding? Or maybe the discovery of an ultra high-CBD variety?
According to cannabis legend, the creation of Juanita la Lagrimosa was the catalyst.
Juanita la Lagrimosa’s lineage starts with New York City Diesel. Legend has it that a breeder named Jimi selected the strain from a pack of seeds purchased at Spannabis 2004. He selected three males from the group and crossed them with the sativa-dominant cultivar Reina Madre. This pairing gave rise to Juanita la Lagrimosa.
To begin with, the CBD level of Juanita la Lagrimosa remained elusive. She was a popular variety, and breeders used her to create novel strains such as Dancehall. It wasn’t until some of the offspring started winning High Times Cannabis Cup awards that Jimi decided to run tests. Laboratory analysis unveiled a cannabinoid profile of 22% CBD and around 0.7% THC. Such a staggering level of the cannabinoid was an exciting discovery. Her breeders went on to develop a stable feminised version in 2010.
Juanita la Lagrimosa has since been used to create some of the most popular high-CBD cultivars. Check out the strains below to capitalise on the best features of Juanita alongside other top-performing strains.
Fast Eddy
Genetics
Fast Eddy consists of 50% sativa genetics, 40% indica genetics, and 10% ruderalis genetics. RQS breeders created this variety using Juanita la Lagrimosa, Cheese, and Cannabis ruderalis. She’s a great example of the continuation of Juanita la Lagrimosa, and possesses some of her best traits. As an autoflowering variety, Fast Eddy makes CBD extremely accessible to beginner growers.
Effects
Fast Eddy produces high levels of CBD, alongside a THC quantity of 9%. Her cannabinoid profile attracts medicinal users looking to avoid an intense psychoactive effect. The strain also makes an excellent choice for recreational users who prefer less potent cannabis; the high allows for full functionality while still generating a pleasant psychoactive buzz.
Growing Characteristics
Indoors, Fast Eddy grows to a height of 60–100cm and produces a yield of 400–450g/m². The small stature of this strain means it’s easy to keep on the down-low. Outdoor plants achieve a slightly taller height of up to 120cm, and yield in the range of 80–130g/plant. With a flowering period of 6–7 weeks, she’ll be ready to harvest around 8–9 weeks after germination. Fast Eddy has a preference for mild climates.

Growing Characteristics
Indoor plants reach a height of between 90–140cm and pump out an impressive yield of between 450–500g/m². Outdoor plants grow up to 160cm in height and put out a yield of 110–160g/plant.

Joanne's CBD
Genetics
Joanne's CBD, one of the newest additions to our CBD family, contains around 50% sativa and 50% indica genetics. She's the result of breeding Juanita la Lagrimosa with the famous THC-rich strain Session.
Effects
Even though Session is THC-heavy, Juanita ensures less than 1% THC in Joanne's CBD. It is far more potent in terms of CBD content, though, measuring in at a whopping 15%. Joanne's CBD is the perfect strain for when you're feeling out of the moment and need to centre yourself. This harmony is reflected in her perfectly balanced indica-sativa genetic profile. As you're finding your peace, you'll also notice the sweet and citrusy sensation of orange passing along your tongue.
Growing Characteristics
If growing indoors, your plants will stay fairly low-profile, reaching between 80–120cm in height. But that doesn't mean you won't achieve a plentiful harvest. Treated right, Joanne's CBD can yield up to an impressive 550g/m² after 7–8 weeks of flowering! Outdoor growers will have a lot to look forward to as well. These plants will dwarf their indoor peers, reaching as high as 180cm. It’s no slouch in terms of production either, offering 425–475g/plant by harvest time in early October. It prefers warmer climates, so make sure you have a grow room set up if you're in northern Europe or somewhere similar.
