The 'Athena' hemp variety is a new competitive seed-oriented variety characterized by the complete absence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC – 0.00%), making it safe for food use. Plants of this variety are low-growing, reaching up to 2.1 meters in height, which facilitates cultivation and harvest. The high seed yield of the variety ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 tons per hectare, and the oil content of the seeds exceeds 40%, which is a relatively high indicator for hemp and enables efficient utilization of raw material for oil and other products.
The 'Athena' variety was developed as a result of targeted work lasting approximately six years, during which the best traits of various hemp plants were combined. This allowed the creation of a unique product that meets the main requirements of both hemp producers and processors. Due to its characteristics, the variety is suitable for use in the food industry and industrial hemp cultivation.
It is important to note that information regarding a hybrid cannabis variety with high THC content and mineral fertilizers 'Athena' does not pertain to the 'Athena' variety and is not included in the description. Thus, 'Athena' represents an industrial hemp variety with zero psychoactive substances content, oriented towards obtaining high-quality seeds and oil.
