Hemp CBG 16% Feminized seeds produce a photoperiod sativa-dominant hemp plant engineered specifically for cannabigerol output, delivering a verified 16% CBG alongside measurable CBD-A and CBC-A — all within a THC profile that stays compliant with hemp regulations. This strain is a working cultivar built for cannabinoid extraction, medicinal cultivation, and growers who want a high-value crop without the regulatory complexity that comes with high-THC varieties.
Genetics & Lineage
Bred by PPS, Hemp CBG 16% Feminized draws from selectively stabilized hemp genetics with a clear focus on CBG accumulation. CBG — often called the "mother cannabinoid" — is the biosynthetic precursor from which THC, CBD, and CBC are all derived. Plants that retain high CBG concentrations at harvest are the result of either early harvesting or deliberate genetic selection that slows the enzymatic conversion of CBGA into other cannabinoids. PPS has pursued the latter route, breeding a line that maintains elevated CBG through full flowering. The result is a feminized sativa-leaning plant with consistent expression across the pack, meaning growers won't encounter male plants or significant phenotypic variation from seed to seed.
Aroma, Flavour & Effects
The terpene profile is grounded and functional rather than ornamental. Caryophyllene leads — a sesquiterpene that interacts directly with CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, contributing anti-inflammatory properties independent of cannabinoid activity. The dominant aroma is damp earth, fresh timber, and a faint herbal sharpness that becomes more defined during the drying and curing phase. There is no sweetness or fruit character here; the profile is restrained and medicinal in quality. Consumed or processed into extracts, the flavour reflects the smell — woody, clean, and slightly peppery on the finish. CBG itself is non-intoxicating. Users report a clear-headed, grounding effect with no psychoactive impairment, making the processed flower or concentrate practical for daytime use and wellness applications.
Growing Profile
Hemp CBG 16% Feminized is a photoperiod strain, flowering in response to a shift to a 12/12 light cycle indoors or to seasonal light reduction outdoors. Flowering time runs between 70 and 84 days from the initiation of the flowering period. The sativa structure means vertical stretch is expected — indoor growers should plan for height management and consider low-stress training or topping during the vegetative phase to maintain canopy control and improve light penetration. The strain performs across indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse environments. Yields are not documented in available data at specific gram-per-plant figures, but the plant's sativa vigour and extended flowering window suggest it rewards longer veg periods and generous root space. Difficulty is moderate — the feminized genetics simplify crop management, but the photoperiod schedule and stretch characteristics mean it suits growers with at least one or two runs of experience.
Who This Strain Is For
This strain is purpose-built for cultivators targeting CBG-rich biomass for extraction, tincture production, or whole-flower hemp products. It suits small-scale medicinal growers who want a reliable, compliant plant with a defined cannabinoid output, as well as commercial operators assessing CBG cultivars for scalability. The non-intoxicating effect profile makes the final product accessible to consumers who require clarity and function. Growers comfortable with photoperiod management and indoor canopy control will get the most consistent results, though outdoor greenhouse cultivation in a suitable climate is equally viable.
Five feminized seeds per pack makes this an efficient entry point for trialling CBG cultivation before committing to larger runs.
