Yeah, I’ve tried some 100% CBG strains before. Some rare mutation was isolated that shuts off the pathways for thc/cbd synthesis, leaving only CBG. Oregon CBD put out the first ones, I think. It’s pretty interesting stuff to smoke! Did not feel high at all, but there was this feeling of detachment or maybe dream-like state? It’s a good thing to have these options for medical users.

They did not put out the first ones or the best ones. I believe that stems from the white CBG which is going around. The one I have comes from Spain and THC/CBD was enzymatically shut off. I have the paper somewhere that explains the process. It also costs about 10% of what the Oregon CBD shit costs. They’re really overpriced for essentially hemp seeds.
Here’s the patent application.

I have not grown the seeds yet but I have ingested pure CBG in high doses and it behaves similarly to me as CBD which causes my joints to ache. It is also half THC but that isn’t processed as psychoactive.
UW Crop Innovation Center has created something by different means of genetic editing to create a similar plant that only produces very high CBG.
Here’s the patent for this process.
It is too large to attach here.
Both patents explain the processes.

Thanks for sharing those!
Oregon CBD claims to have bred the White CBG strain from a THC-dominant strain called “The White” that contained some CBG. They also claim their release has tested up to 20% CBG. They put out an open-access, non-reviewed article describing their breeding process.
Yeah, the original White CBG tasted like nothing - like it had no terpenes at all. I think there was some scientific explanation for why, but I don’t remember the details. I’ve read that newer Type IV flower is much better and more enjoyable but I have not tried any. It wasn’t for me but I did find the experience interesting. I have not tried CBG in pure/isolate form.
Yeah, Oregon CBD is expensive. I have not really enjoyed any of their flower that I’ve tried. But they are a backbone for the US CBD industry because their seeds will reliably produce crops under the legal limit for total THC (0.3%). I’m glad I don’t have to personally abide by that rule because it is very limiting.

I had a lot of the White CBG a few years ago, maybe a pound or so… found one seed, have it here…
My take was it was white in color, but not like a trichrome covered bud, but almost like how CBD isolate looks; powdery sugar like, opaque powder not shiney or resinous.
It tasted bad, like isolate. I knew the supplier grew it by 100% organic practice and wasn’t sprayed with an isolate. So, all natural. I mainly gave it away and was jarring it for some smoke shops in Long Beach. I was working for a manufacturer at the time and had extra samples.
Been meaning to do a project with my single seed of The White CBG.

Oh, I almost forgot about when I made a tincture with oxidated THC distillate, which had become amber and assume was basically all converted to CBN, the White CBG flower alcohol extract, and CBD distillate…. Completely almost slept through the following day off two droppers full. Was actually a bit scary cuz I literally was out cold for nearly a whole day, like 18-19 hours.

CBG trichomes can be dry/tacky and fall or blow right off the plant.

think the data needs some screening. One query returned a Hindu Kush with a result of 38% delta-9 THC Actually probably the highest in the dataset the way the query was structured

@Herbie Yeah, it’s a work in progress and a live data sheet, so as the updates are being made, it is reflecting on the live public link on Google Drive, and when it’s a little further along, will be updated on Breedz to retrain the AI on the new data.
I’d say that will probably happen this weekend TBH

We have data on approximately 4K test samples, of which, ~1700 include terpenes that could probably be shared with you, if you’d like. Test laboratory results from the East coast, state certified labs.
Here’s some analysis that we were playing around with on that dataset:

Does anyone have information on the minimum human detection levels of terpenes?
It is my impression that the perceived impact of terpenes depends not only on the amount present but on the terpene itself - so humans may be generally sensitive to even small amounts of one terpene while another may require much more to have any impact on the perceived aroma or flavor. That makes it difficult to compare the amounts to each other directly.
However, I cannot find any resource that confirms this impression or gives the minimum detectable amounts for the common cannabis terpenes.
The data from https://en.seedfinder.eu/ is open source. It would be really interesting to add that to the database so that the AI has the genetic connections of all of the strains.
Seedfinder is not reliable.
@Northern_Loki can you DM me with more details to get this connected? It’s pretty easy once we get some correspondence going. Much love, many thanks
