Beacon Hemp

In 2013, under the provisions of California’s Proposition 215, the founders of Beacon Hemp began breeding photoperiodic high CBD Cannabis cultivars. Informed by rigorous chemotype analysis, in 2016, we choose several lines to grow and select at acreage scale in Oregon under the state’s 2014 Farm Bill pilot industrial hemp program. In addition to our photoperiodic lines, we have been working day neutral (also known as “autoflowering”) hemp lineages since 2016. Our large-scale variety screenings in several different climates in combination with thorough chemotyping have allowed for the selection of superior agronomic traits, such as early flowering and resistance to fungal pathogens, as well as consistent CBD:THC ratios, high cannabinoid content, and a diversity of unique terpene profiles.
