Cbg Cannabigerol
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid commonly considered the 'mother cannabinoid' because other major cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBC) are synthesized from CBG-A through enzymatic decarboxylation. While present in most cannabis varieties, CBG typically comprises less than 1% of total cannabinoids in conventional strains. Early-harvest timing and specific genetic backgrounds—including some landrace and specialty breeding lines—can yield higher CBG concentrations. Breeders studying cannabinoid ratios have identified certain cultivars and F1 crosses that naturally express elevated CBG levels, making it of increasing interest in breeding programs focused on minor cannabinoid profiles.

Growers and breeders targeting elevated CBG work with specific cultivars known for higher CBG expression and may employ early-harvest strategies to preserve CBG-A before conversion. Understanding CBG-dominant genetics helps in developing specialty cultivars for cannabinoid-focused research and breeding programs.
