Cbg Chemotype
CBG (cannabigerol) chemotype refers to cannabis plants bred to express elevated cannabigerol levels, often 1–5% or higher by dry weight. CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid considered a biosynthetic precursor to THC and CBD in most cannabis varieties. Chemotypes emphasizing CBG have become increasingly common in breeding programs focused on cannabinoid diversity. These plants typically show distinctive terpene profiles that accompany high CBG expression, including pinene, humulene, and myrcene. CBG-dominant strains remain relatively niche compared to THC or CBD-focused genetics, reflecting ongoing research into cannabinoid ratios and plant metabolism.

Breeders pursuing CBG chemotypes typically employ selective crossing of accessions carrying CBG-biosynthesis traits, often combining genetic lines that naturally suppress downstream THC or CBD conversion. Understanding CBG expression helps geneticists map cannabinoid pathway regulation and develop stable F1 or F2 lines for consistent chemotype expression across generations.
