Appearance

Auto CBG typically grows to a manageable size, often between 60-100 cm indoors, though vigorous phenotypes can reach up to 120 cm. It presents a balanced hybrid structure with a prominent main cola and supportive side branches. The leaves are medium-width, and the buds are dense and frosty, often appearing as conical spears or compact nuggets. Pistils mature from cream or pale orange to copper hues as harvest approaches.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma profile of Auto CBG is subtle and nuanced. Initial notes are clean and herbal, sometimes accompanied by hints of apple skin or pear. Underlying this are gentle scents of sweet hay, green tea, and a mild touch of fresh pepper. The flavor follows suit, offering a combination of sweet, herbal, and citrus notes.

Effects

This cultivar is designed to provide a clear and non-intoxicating experience due to its high CBG content and low THC levels. Consumers may experience a sense of euphoria without the heavy sedation often associated with high-THC strains. Its profile makes it appealing for daytime use or for those sensitive to THC.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids

Auto CBG's defining characteristic is its high concentration of CBG, achieved by downregulating the enzymes responsible for converting CBGA into THCA and CBDA. While specific terpene profiles can vary, Caryophyllene is noted. The low THC content, typically below 1%, and minimal CBD further distinguish its cannabinoid profile.

Growing

As an autoflowering strain, Auto CBG requires minimal environmental manipulation to flower, typically completing its life cycle from seed to harvest in 10-12 weeks indoors. It is generally considered an accessible and vigorous cultivar, remaining manageable in size. The plant exhibits good resin production, making it attractive for extraction purposes.

Origins & Lineage

Developed by Cannabiogen, Auto CBG is a three-way hybrid combining ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. The ruderalis lineage provides the autoflowering trait, while indica and sativa influences contribute to yield, resin production, and plant structure. This breeding effort aims to stabilize CBG dominance for a consistent and predictable outcome.
