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.
