Appearance

Auto CBG plants produce dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes. The foliage is typically deep green, sometimes displaying purple hues under cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. These plants maintain a uniform size and shape, averaging between 60 to 90 centimeters in height.

The buds are notably dense, with cultivators observing significant trichome coverage, often correlating with higher cannabinoid concentrations. Each bud typically weighs between 1.5 to 2 grams.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Auto CBG is a complex bouquet featuring earthy, herbal, and spicy notes, complemented by hints of pine and citrus. A subtle skunky musk is also present, contributing to its distinctive scent profile.

Its flavor follows suit, offering a blend of spicy and earthy tastes with underlying sweet and citrus undertones. Users often report a lingering aftertaste that combines herbal freshness with a citrus tang, rated highly for its intensity.

Effects

While specific effects are not detailed beyond being uplifted, the strain's profile suggests a balanced experience. The high CBG content, coupled with very low THC, typically leads to milder psychoactive effects.

The combination of cannabinoids is thought to contribute to its therapeutic potential, offering benefits without significant intoxication.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Auto CBG is primarily recognized for its high concentration of cannabigerol (CBG), often reaching 10-15% in mature buds. THC levels are generally kept below 1%, with trace amounts of CBD and other minor cannabinoids also present.

Key terpenes detected include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, which contribute to the strain's aromatic and flavor complexities, as well as potential therapeutic effects.

Growing

This strain is designed for autoflowering capabilities, ensuring consistent performance across various environments. Its genetic blend provides resilience and a bushy growth habit, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

The plant structure is uniform, and breeders have focused on achieving high cannabinoid yield and consistency across generations.

Origins & Lineage

Auto CBG was developed by Cannabiogen with the specific goal of producing high levels of CBG in an autoflowering variety. It represents a fusion of traditional and modern breeding techniques.

The genetic lineage is a carefully balanced mix of Ruderalis, Indica, and Sativa genetics, approximately 30% Ruderalis, 35% Indica, and 35% Sativa, to ensure robust autoflowering traits and desirable characteristics.
