What is CBG?

Published on: 13/03/2024

In the hemp plant flower, there are over a hundred natural cannabinoids. Besides CBD, now considered the most important in the plant, another noteworthy cannabinoid is CBG.

Both CBG and CBD belong to the family of phytocannabinoids because they are produced by the plant and not directly by the human body (endocannabinoids). CBG is the first active compound to develop in the hemp plant, specifically in the trichomes of the flower; it is also present in “normal” CBD flowers, but generally in percentages lower than 1%.

Since 2021, innovative cultivations aiming to develop unprecedented levels of CBG have been established in Europe and France, thanks to incredible advancements in hemp cultivation methods in recent years. JustBob has exclusively developed various greenhouse genetic strains that can release very high levels of CBG (around 20%) with CBD lower than usual (below 10%).

In this category, you can find the Alpine CBG Small Buds; obtained from cultivations specially designed to produce small-sized flowers with a high CBG content.
