Much like CBD, cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive ingredient of the cannabis flower. The differences between both are slight, but perhaps the most important one is that CBG is a naturally occurring cannabinoid, while CBD is not. On this list, we plunge headfirst into the best CBG flower available to mankind and the benefits of CBG on the body.
It hasn’t been a long time since the only cannabinoid we were used to was THC. Back then, everything weed had to be high-inducing and hence it’s illegal nature (back in the day), extremely expensive. At least this was the case in most of North America.
The environment has changed incredibly since then. What used to be illegal is now legal in most states across the United States and what used to be scarce is now abundant. Including the types and product innovations available at mass retail venues.
Some of these innovations include driving away from THC and give an option for patients and recreational users that are not looking to get high. Some of us (in my case, only sometimes) want all the benefits of cannabis without the often focus impairing effects of THC.
That’s where CBG comes in. Much like CBD, Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive ingredient of the Cannabis Sativa flower. The differences between both are slight, but perhaps the most important one is that CBG is a naturally occurring cannabinoid, while CBD is not.
We’ll look into the ins and outs of CBG further down the line. But we’ll immediately plunge headfirst into the best CBG flower available to mankind.
Sour G CBG Weed
Strain Info
Staying loyal to its parent strain, Sour Diesel, Sour G is a CBG strain that contains invigorating effects. This sativa-dominant hemp strain contains up 13.5% CBG and a set of energizing effects that will have you getting the job done. Its light green buds, covered with a thick layer of white crystals and orange hairs are a perfect morning smoke.
Terpenes
Diesel, orange and sour flavors and aroma spark from the frosty nugs of the Sour G CBG strain. The clean and smooth smoke produced by this hemp strain will have you feeling motivated and uplifted. Thanks to guaiol and bisabolol, the most dominant terpenes found in the Sour G CBG strain, the fragrances of this crop are a complete treat to the senses.
Effects
Due to its sativa profile, Sour G CBG will create a heightened sense of creativity. After some minutes of using this strain, your mind will feel clear and focused, ready to tackle any task. Unlike other sativa strains, which often provide drowsiness as a side effect, Sour G CBG won’t make you feel hazy. This energizing strain is perfect for a morning smoke before getting things done.
Just like CBD, CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. The little research done on this compound has shown it has great anti-inflammatory, mood balancing and pain relieving effects. For this reason, Sour G CBG is a perfect strain to address specific conditions to complement your current treatment.
As for terpenes, these unique compounds also have great benefits that add to your experience. For instance, guaiol has shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-parasitic properties. Moreover, studies have found it to be a potential agent to reduce tumors and the side effects of chemotherapy. Likewise, Bisabolol is not as common in cannabis strains, but its properties make it a great terpene; this compound has anti-irritant, antimicrobial and analgesic effects.
Sour G CBG Weed Genetics
Sour Diesel is one of the most popular cannabis strains on the market. The invigorating effects of Sour G CBG definitely come from this uplifting strain. Specifically bred to deliver high CBG concentrations, the lineage of Sour G CBG is one of the reasons for its success.
Lineage
Sour Diesel is a sativa dominant strain with invigorating, uplifting and energizing effects. Commonly used among medical patients for its effects against depression, anxiety, pain and stress, you will feel happy with this strain. Its THC levels can go up to 26%, and in some cases, Sour Diesel can have around 2% CBD content. The cerebral high of this strain is potent, but it won’t leave you couch locked. For this reason, Sour Diesel is the ideal morning smoke for a head start.
Grow Information
Bred by Oregon BD, Sour G CBG was created through a careful process in order to offer the highest CBG yield possible and a dense flower with a thick layer of trichomes. The Sour G CBG strain grows better indoors or in a greenhouse, since it is easier for farmers to control the climate and light the crop receives.
CBG is still very hard to grow due to the natural process the cannabis plant goes through to create cannabinoids. Before turning into THC and CBD, the plant has a compound called CBGA, which is the purest form of CBG. At the beginning of the growing process, CBGA has only a 2% level of presence in the plant, to later transform into the main cannabinoids mentioned before. This reduces the presence of CBG to almost 1%, making it extremely difficult for farmers to get larger amounts if not bred correctly.
At Botany Farms, we love to offer our customers the newest trends on the market. Understanding the importance of a 100% organic hemp flower, we team up with responsible farmers in the U.S to bring you the best selection of CBD and CBG flower. For this reason, our Sour G CBG makes part of our product line. This powerful strain is packed with an energizing set of effects that will keep you going through the day.
White CBG Weed
Strain Info
The world of cannabis never stops expanding. Only a few years ago we discovered the properties of THC, and then the popular CBD, two of the most popular cannabinoids of the cannabis plant. However, other components like CBG have recently generated a lot of buzz. As a result, cannabis companies and farmers have started to breed new strains of cannabis to satisfy their consumers.
When it comes to CBG, the most popular and powerful strain you will find on the market is The White CBG. Coated with a frosty layer of white crystals, these dense nugs have a concentration of 18.5% CBG and peppery and herbal notes. While the aromas are not as strong as with other cannabis buds, The White CBG will certainly deliver the best effects you can find on the market if you are not very fond of THC.
Terpenes
Even if the aroma of White CBG is not overpowering, its terpene profile offers you the best effects of the cannabis plant when combined with its powerful CBG level. The terpenes you can find in the White CBG are guaiol, bisabolol, caryophyllene and humulene. For this reason, this strain has a peppery, earthy and spicy profile.
These terpenes aren’t typically seen in large amounts in the most standard cannabis strains. This is one of the reasons why White CBG is a strain worth trying out. Moreover, if you are the kind of user who thinks that “less is more”, you will enjoy the subtle aromas and flavors of White CBG.
Effects
Depending on the breeder, White CBG could have a more balanced 50/50 sativa-indica ratio or have a little more of indica properties to it. At Botany Farms, we have noticed that consumers love to use White CBG in the daytime, since CBG doesn’t produce any drowsy effects. Moreover, this strain will have you feeling calmed and mellow, while allowing your mind to remain active and motivated.
Just like CBD, CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. The little research done on this compound has shown it has great anti-inflammatory, mood balancing and pain relieving effects. For this reason, White CBG might be just what you need to address specific conditions to complement your current treatment.
As for terpenes, the unique blend of these molecules in White CBG makes it a unique strain worth trying. To begin with, Guaiol has shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-parasitic properties. In addition, a study stated that it can potentially reduce tumors and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Likewise, Bisabolol is not as common in cannabis strains, but its properties make it a great terpene to have on your shelves; this compound has anti-irritant, antimicrobial and analgesic effects.
On the other hand, Caryophyllene is the only terpene to interact with the endocannabinoid system; for instance, it helps regulate mood and has analgesic effects, making it a powerful terpene. Finally, Humulene is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumors and allergy treatment properties.
In addition, CBG can also mitigate the psychoactive effects of THC just like CBD does. Moreover, this cannabinoid can relieve depression and anxiety without generating drowsy sensations in the user.
Genetics
The White CBG is a modified chemotype of the popular “The White”, a powerful indica-dominant strain. This strain was specifically bred to yield the highest amount of CBG that could be produced at the time, which has increased over the years thanks to the advanced breeding techniques found nowadays.
Lineage
The White is an indica-dominant THC strain. With a THC content that goes from 20-18%, The White gets its name from its dewy white buds. Because of its soaring THC levels, this strain is often used by those who don’t fear the intense effects of a head-hitting high. The White puts the user in a calm and warm body sensation while allowing the mind to explore and feel euphoric.
Grow Information
CBG is still very hard to grow due to the natural process the cannabis plant goes through to create cannabinoids. Before turning into THC and CBD, the plant has a compound called CBGA, which is the purest form of CBG. At the beginning of the growing process, CBGA has only a 2% level of presence in the plant, to later transform into the main cannabinoids mentioned before. This reduces the presence of CBG to almost 1%, making it extremely difficult for farmers to get larger amounts if not bred correctly.
For this reason, Oregon CBD decided to figure out a way to increase the levels of cannabigerol in plants. As a result, the White CBG became one of the first CBG strains to ever be sold. This strain grows into stout bushes and large flowers that make the harvesting process much easier.
As difficult as it is to grow high-content CBG flower, this is a process that Botany Farms still manages to excel in. An experienced grower of non-psychoactive buds, Botany Farms offers a CBG bud with close to 18.5% CBG and the obvious lower than 0.3% THC.
The chemical composition of this bud ensures a non-high-inducing feeling that still manages to ignite the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of CBG at an unparalleled onset speed. A Hybrid strain with a distinguished earthy, yet spicy aroma.
My husband just brought me home some cbd oil with cbg cannabinoid for severe pain and numerous autoimmune and other medical issues but the gentleman told him that I should not take this at night. I am new to cbd period and so I will not take it this evening but I have not slept in two nights with pain and it’s driving me crazy. Can anyone help?
I ordered several strains (here in Toronto)of the CBG and the White is wonderful for me in the morning to help with my anxiety, I plan on making oil out of it and using sublingually. Love the smooth taste and the consistency. I am in chemotherapy and it helps with not only my nauseous but it also helps to alleviate some of my pain. I highly recommend.
Sour G is the best flower I’ve ever had. Organic, fresh and when I opened the jar the beautiful bouquet that came wafting out let me know that this was something I was going to truly enjoy.
