CBG flower

Not to be confused with CBD bud, CBG flower is cannabis or hemp flower with above average amounts of the cannabinoid CBG, or cannabigerol. CBG plays an important role in how THC and CBD are formed, while also having its own potential health benefits unique to CBG. It is often referred to as "the mother of cannabinoids".

With CBG oil being more common these days, some people are turning to high-CBG bud for their source of cannabigerol. High CBG strains tend to have frosty white buds that are covered in trichomes. Many of them will even have "white" in their name.

We compiled this list of the best CBG rich flower so you can select quality flower with the highest concentration of cannabigerol, and virtually no THC.

  • The White

    Effects of CBG bud

    The effects are often described as energizing, yet calming and relaxing at the same time, with some body euphoria. CBG is said to be less cerebral than CBD alone, but is also said to enhance or intensify the effects of THC when combined.

    The effects of CBG bud can be rather subtle, but more noticeable than with straight CBD flower. CBG bud users have reported that the effects of CBG can be intensified when combined with CBD and especially with THC bud.

    These are the most common effects associated with CBG bud:

    • Calming
    • Relaxing
    • Energizing
    • Euphoric
    • Non-drowsy
    • Less cerebral than CBD
    • Can intensify the effects of THC
    • At first it may seem contradictory, but CBG can make you feel relaxed and calm without actually making you feel sleepy. Though it has been said that CBG can improve sleep patterns, especially when combined with CBD, it is not known to induce drowsiness.

      You can experiment with various ratios of CBG to CBD and THC to tailor your effects. In short, CBG bud strains are suitable for mixing but can also be enjoyed by itself.

        Will CBG flower get me high?

        No, CBG won’t get you high. This cannabinoid is mildly psychoactive but not psychotropic. CBG affects the brain very differently to THC, and it does not come with intoxicating effects. In high concentrations, CBG may induce effects of relaxation and euphoria, but the majority of the effects that this cannabinoid has on your system are physiological and not psychological.

        The role of CBG

        CBG is considered a minor cannabinoid, as a harvested plant will generally contain up to 1% of CBG (rarely up to 2%), unless it was bred to be a high CBG strain.

        The CBG in cannabis produces CBGA—the “A” there stands for acid, meaning that CBGA is the acidic form of CBG. Cannabigerolic acid is the real star of the show here, as it is a precursor to the three main cannabinoids, THC, CBD, and CBC. Simply put, without CBGA we wouldn’t have THC or CBD.

        During the lifetime of the plant, natural enzymes (called synthases) transform CBGA into THCA, CBDA, and CBCA. These, in turn, are transformed into THC, CBD, and CBC through the process of decarboxylation—the removal of a carboxyl group with the application of heat. The small amounts of CBGA that remain on the plant after the formation of the other cannabinoids, are in turn decarboxylated and turned into CBG.

        What’s important here, is that almost all CBGA turns into THCA and CBDA early in the process. This means that the amount of CBGA left for the formation of CBG is very low, which is also the reason for the low yields. Compared to THC and CBD, CBG yields are often 10 or even 20 times lower. The main way to increase CBG yield is to breed them with strains higher in CBG production, which is what this page features.
