CBG #1

CBG #1 is a specialized cannabis strain bred specifically for its high cannabigerol (CBG) content, representing a relatively new category of cannabis cultivars developed for therapeutic cannabinoid profiles rather than traditional psychoactive effects. Developed through selective breeding techniques, this strain was created by crossing various hemp and cannabis genetics to maximize CBG production while minimizing THC content to comply with legal definitions of industrial hemp in many jurisdictions. The emergence of CBG-focused strains like CBG #1 reflects growing scientific interest in minor cannabinoids and their potential therapeutic applications, marking a significant development in cannabis cultivation beyond the traditional THC/CBD dichotomy.

Visually, CBG #1 plants typically exhibit characteristics common to industrial hemp varieties, with tall, sturdy structures, narrow leaves, and dense flower clusters. The buds are often light to medium green with occasional orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. Unlike high-THC strains where trichome development correlates with psychoactive potency, CBG #1's trichomes contain predominantly CBG and other non-intoxicating cannabinoids. The strain's development represents a deliberate shift in breeding priorities, focusing on cannabinoid profiles that may offer therapeutic benefits without significant psychoactivity, appealing to medical users and wellness consumers seeking alternatives to traditional cannabis products.

Notably, CBG #1 belongs to a new generation of cannabis cultivars sometimes called 'minor cannabinoid strains' or 'specialty hemp varieties.' These strains are typically grown in controlled agricultural settings with precise harvesting times, as CBG content peaks earlier than THC or CBD in the plant's development cycle. The strain's creation reflects both advances in cannabis genetics and changing market demands for diverse cannabinoid options. While less documented in historical cannabis literature than traditional strains, CBG #1 represents an important development in the expanding landscape of cannabis cultivation and product development.
