CBG Kush
Also known as: CBG Kush Strain, Cannabigerol Kush
CBG Kush Strain Overview
CBG Kush is a specialized cannabis strain bred specifically for elevated levels of cannabigerol (CBG), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that serves as a precursor to both THC and CBD. Unlike most commercial strains that focus on maximizing THC content, CBG Kush represents a growing category of 'minor cannabinoid' cultivars developed for therapeutic applications. The strain was developed through selective breeding techniques that emphasize CBG production while minimizing THC conversion, resulting in a plant with unique chemical properties that appeal to medical users and cannabinoid researchers.
The strain exhibits physical characteristics typical of Kush varieties, with dense, resinous buds that often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The plant structure tends to be compact and bushy, reflecting its indica-dominant heritage. CBG Kush is notable for its distinctive terpene profile that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle citrus undertones, creating a complex aromatic experience that differs from high-THC strains.
As a relatively new addition to the cannabis market, CBG Kush represents the expanding frontier of cannabinoid science and breeding. While not as widely available as mainstream THC-dominant strains, it has gained attention within medical cannabis communities and among users seeking the potential therapeutic benefits of CBG without pronounced psychoactive effects. The strain's development reflects growing consumer interest in the diverse therapeutic potential of cannabis beyond just THC and CBD.

CBG Kush Strain Growing Information
CBG Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring attention to harvesting timing to maximize CBG content before conversion to other cannabinoids. The flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 1-1.5 ounces per square foot indoors or 14-18 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers stable temperatures and controlled humidity to prevent mold. Special consideration should be given to harvesting at the optimal time to preserve CBG levels, as harvesting too late may result in conversion to THC or CBD.
