CBG Auto by Seattle Chronic Seeds
Indica genetics × Sativa genetics
CBG Auto is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Seattle Chronic Seeds, notable for its high cannabigerol (CBG) content and low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels. This auto-flowering variety was bred to explore the potential of CBG, often called the "mother of all cannabinoids," while maintaining a balanced profile. It offers a unique experience appealing to both connoisseurs and those seeking functional cannabis.
Appearance
CBG Auto plants exhibit a robust, compact, and sturdy structure characteristic of auto-flowering varieties, suitable for various cultivation settings. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying a crystalline appearance due to heavy trichome coverage. Coloration can range from deep green with potential purple hues under specific lighting.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of CBG Auto is complex, beginning with a strong earthy foundation complemented by subtle notes of citrus and pine. Upon consumption, users experience an initial wave of citrus and herbal flavors, followed by a more pronounced earthy taste that lingers. This profile is attributed to its unique terpene blend.
Effects
This strain is reported to provide a sense of calm, aligning with its balanced cannabinoid profile and terpene composition. The low THC content suggests a clear-headed experience, potentially allowing for functionality without significant psychoactive intensity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
CBG Auto consistently tests between 6-8% CBG, with high levels of CBD and very low THC, typically around 0.09%. Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, Limonene, and Pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics. The emphasis on CBG positions it as a novel option in cannabinoid-rich cultivars.
Growing
As an auto-flowering strain, CBG Auto is known for its resilient and predictable growth patterns, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Its sturdy structure and strong branches can support the development of its conical, well-formed flowers.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by Seattle Chronic Seeds, CBG Auto is the result of experimental breeding focused on exploring lesser-known cannabinoids, particularly CBG. It is a hybrid created by blending indica and sativa genetics to achieve a balanced cannabinoid and terpene profile, ensuring genetic stability and optimized expression.
