CBG flower is currently growing in popularity. However, many people are just beginning to learn about this compound, so it can be difficult to know how to find the best CBG flower. Let’s take a look at CBG flower, and how to know if you are buying quality products.
What is CBG?
CBG is known as the mother of all cannabinoids. It’s actually the precursor of well-known cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. Typically plants start out with a high concentration of CBG. As the plant grows, the CBG converts to other cannabinoids, like THC and CBD. When the plant is mature, there’s very little CBG left.
In the past, the only way to get CBG was to extract it in small quantities from different plants. However, today, plants can be grown with a high concentration of CBG. Instead of converting the CBG, these plants maintain it.
What to Look for When Buying CBG Flower
Organic
One of the things to look for when choosing CBG is organic growing methods. When selecting CBG flower, you want to avoid toxins from pesticides and chemicals. When you choose organic flowers, you know that your flower is free from toxins.
Lab Analysis
When purchasing CBG flowers, you should only buy from companies that provide a lab analysis. This analysis will let you know if there are any toxins in the product.
The testing should also include potency. Lab analysis should document exactly how much of each cannabinoid is present, including THC, CBD, and CBG.
Potency
You’ll also want a CBG flower that has a strong potency. If you want flower that helps you relax after a long day or provides the health benefits associated with CBG, you’ll need a product that has a high concentration of CBG to be effective.
American Grown
We recommend choosing a CBG flower that is grown in the U.S. This means that the growing and manufacturing process is up to U.S. standards, which are very high. It also allows you to support a company that is based in America, which is good for our economy.
Taste and Smell
Quality CBG, just like quality cannabis, will have a strong distinct smell and taste. You aren’t looking for a specific smell, because different strains can have different scents and flavors. However, it should be strong. This shows you that it has a lot of terpenes, and has been grown and stored properly.
If you notice a smell of mold or hay, the CBG flower is of poor quality. If the flower tastes bad, it’s likely not a good flower.
Pricing
You get what you pay for. The most expensive CBG flower isn’t necessarily the best. However, it’s a good idea to avoid products that are priced much lower than the competition.
You should expect to pay for a quality product because it’s more expensive to produce. Organic farming practices, growing and storing small batches, and lab testing are a few things that impact price.
Customer Reviews and Brand Reputation
Lastly, you should consider customer reviews of the company and the company’s reputation. Today you can find reviews for nearly any company online. You’ll want to find a company that has plenty of positive reviews. If their customers are pleased with their product, you can expect to get quality CBG flower.
Along with reviews, you’ll get a sense of the company’s reputation. You should choose to buy from reputable companies, and avoid companies with a poor reputation.
