Alchimia is thrilled to present Pure CBG by Philosopher Seeds, a non-psychoactive cannabis hybrid with a high CBG (Cannabigerol) content and a THC level well below 0.3%. It is a plant with great potential due to its unusual cannabinoid composition. This strain is now available in our feminised cannabis seeds catalogue.
What is CBG or Cannabigerol - What are its properties?
Cannabigerol (CBG) content in cannabis strains is usually negligible, in most cases less than 1%. Cannabigerol is the precursor of other cannabinoids in the plant, being essential for the synthesis of THCA, CBDA, and CBCA. Due to a recessive gene, Pure CBG does not produce high concentrations of THC and other cannabinoids. Cannabigerol is considered a CB-1 receptor antagonist, which affects the central nervous system by acting as a THC inhibitor.
The CBG cannabinoid has been documented to possess great properties for the treatment of various pathologies in countries where legislation allows its use. It is a powerful antispasmodic, reduces eye pressure, builds bone tissue, and has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects. It also acts as an appetite stimulator, inhibitor of cancer cell growth, anxiolytic, and painkiller, while treating inflammations of the digestive system and exhibiting neuroprotective and antiseptic properties.
Pure CBG, cannabis strain with high CBG and low THC
Pure CBG by Philosopher Seeds is a cannabis strain with a high CBG content, up to 12%, while maintaining THC levels below 0.3% (approximately 0.08%). It provides the entourage effect. It is an excellent choice for growers seeking cannabinoid profiles completely distinct from those typically offered on the market, which usually feature high amounts of THC or CBD.
Pure CBG strain origins, a Matterhorn x Fenocan hybrid
Pure CBG is the encounter between Matterhorn and Fenocan, creating a CBG hybrid that develops like an Indica, with a robust and well-branched structure capable of supporting the weight of its flowers. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, requiring minimal fertilisation, preferring light and spaced fertilisers applications.
Outdoors, it is ready to harvest at late September or early October in the Northern Hemisphere, taking about 55 days after the photoperiod change to 12/12 indoors. The buds reach a good size and produce a substantial amount of resin, with even some larger leaves covered in glands. These can be used to elaborate extracts of great interest due to their unusual cannabinoid composition.
Indoor yields can reach up to 500g per m2, while with ample direct sunlight and cultivation in open ground, outdoor yields can produce generous harvests of up to 1kg per plant.
Pure CBG, non-psychoactive cannabis with a wide variety of terpenes
Pure CBG, in terms of organoleptic properties, stands out for its varied terpene profile: Eucalyptol, Caryophyllene, alpha-bisabolol, alpha-humulene, beta-caryophyllene, Guaiol, nerolidol, alpha-pinene, and beta-myrcene. The aromas are herbal with a floral component, featuring hints of pine and occasional sweet and citrus notes.
Pure CBG is not a cannabis strain for those seeking strong sensations or escapism. On the contrary, it is a strain that can be considered non-psychoactive but with significant potential due to its unique composition rich in CBG.
