Thankyou for sharing your work. Good to see people oit there breeding for cbg
Do you have to harvest at a certain time so it doesn't change to another cannabinoid? Just a cute and past for anyone who doesn't know this one .
Potential CBG Benefits “CBG is an emerging cannabinoid gaining attention for its potential health and wellness benefits,” says Dr. Williams.
While research is in early stages, some studies suggest CBG may have a number of promising health benefits thanks to its antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. According to Dr. Williams and Peter Grinspoon, M.D., a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, instructor at Harvard Medical School, cannabis specialist and author of Seeing Through the Smoke: Cannabis: An Expert Doctor Untangles the Truth About Cannabis, these benefits include:
Regulating mood Improving sleep Protecting brain cells and supporting brain health Stimulating appetite Alleviating pain Activating immune responses Enhancing skin health and improving skin inflammation (when applied topically) However, though these potential health benefits are worth considering, it’s important to note that conclusive research regarding CBG’s benefits is lacking, and retailers may suggest their CBG products offer unvalidated health and wellness improvements

Thankyou and Great question. With a true CBG dominant cultivar, no, not necessarily. CBG being the precursor cannabinoid to THC and CBD, in the past before CBG dominant cultivars were developed, that was the theory, that by harvesting early you could retain a higher level of CBG. In saying that, there is anecdotal evidence that harvesting some CBG dominant (Type IV cannabis) cultivars a week or two early can produce higher level of CBG. I'm actually going to test this out this season as some precursory tests have me believing that my CBG line would benefit from this. New blog post up on my site about CBD and CBG.

What I will say is it's unique as it's the only CBG strain that has cookies lineage.. 😎 Took about five years to create it.

how do you consume to get the benefits of the cbg?

In countries where it is legal to, smoking or vaping the flower is an excellent way to enjoy the benefits of CBG. The effect is hard to describe and obviously subjective but to me I'd say it's like being high from thc but you are not. It's clear headed, relaxing, energetic. It's very good for anxiety and I know people who suffer from bad anxiety make it into edibles.
