Suzy-Q by Burning Bush Nurseries
When the medical scene really started demanding high-CBD medicine without the psychoactive trip, Burning Bush Nurseries stepped up with Suzy-Q. They've kept the exact genetic lineage under tight wraps, though a lot of old heads swear it's got to be a Northern California landrace crossed with some classic Afghani or OG Kush stock. Sourced with a little help from the folks at Project CBD out in Santa Rosa, this photoperiod cultivar was bred specifically to push CBD levels through the roof. We're talking up to 25% CBD with THC barely registering—sometimes testing out at a crazy 59:1 ratio.
In the dirt, Suzy-Q is a reliable performer that usually finishes flowering around the 70-day mark. If you dig through the old THCFarmer logs, medicinal growers often advise chopping it just a bit early. The trick is that CBD peaks slightly before the trace THC does, so pulling it when the trichomes are mostly cloudy guarantees maximum therapeutic value. The buds cure out into moderately dense, spade-shaped nuggets that reek of crisp pine, fresh earth, and a musky woodsy funk that totally sets it apart from the sweet, fruity hype strains flooding the market.
For patients dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or gnarly muscle spasms, this cut has been an absolute lifesaver. Because the THC is practically non-existent, you can burn a joint of Suzy-Q and go right back to work with a clear head. It doesn't get you stoned; it just melts the anxiety and physical tension right out of your shoulders. It’s a true working-man’s medicinal smoke, proving you don't need astronomical THC numbers to grow a truly top-shelf plant.

Growing Suzy-Q: what to expect
As a hybrid, expect a moderate stretch after the flip (around 100%) — but watch the plant, not the label: phenotypes within Suzy-Q can lean either direction. Growers familiar with USA Hybrid will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
