CBG-Source: The Genesis Strain
CBG-Source: The Genesis Strain
What happens when you breed Santhica x Industrial Hemp? We had to know! Our AI-simulated cannabis breeding AKA The Neural Nursery was built to answer these types of questions!
Strain Overview
Type: Sativa-Dominant Hemp Hybrid (High CBG / <0.3% THC)
Breeder: Neural Nursery
Lineage: Santhica x Industrial Hemp
Market Status: The "Stem Cell" of Cannabis; a specialized cultivator for focus and homeostasis.
CBG Content: 12% – 16% (High Cannabigerol)
THC Content: <0.3% (Non-Psychoactive / Farm Bill Compliant)
Dominant Terpenes: Bisabolol, Guaiol, Pinene
Key Effects: Crystal Clear Focus, Gut Health, Anti-Inflammatory, Energy without "The High"
In the evolution of cannabis breeding, the focus has shifted from "How high can we get?" to "How healthy can we be?" CBG-Source is the answer to the latter.
Developed by the forward-thinking team at Neural Nursery, CBG-Source is a specialized cultivar designed to capture the power of Cannabigerol (CBG)—the "Mother Cannabinoid." By crossing the legendary French hemp strain Santhica (famous for lacking the enzyme that converts CBG into CBD/THC) with robust Industrial Hemp stock, Neural Nursery has created a stable, compliant, and medicinal powerhouse.
This is not a strain for getting stoned. It is a biological tool for focus, recovery, and balance. It represents the cutting edge of non-intoxicating cannabinoid therapy.
History and Lineage: The Genetic Time Block
CBG-Source utilizes genetics that "freeze" the plant's chemical evolution at the perfect moment.
The Mother (Santhica): A certified EU hemp variety (specifically the Santhica 27 or 70 lineage). Unlike most cannabis plants, Santhica has a genetic trait that prevents the precursor cannabinoid (CBGA) from converting into THCA or CBDA. It stays as pure CBG. It provides the chemical profile.
The Father (Industrial Hemp): A robust, fibrous selection used to reinforce stem strength, weather resistance, and pest immunity. This parent ensures the plant is farm-ready and resilient outdoors.
The "Mother Cannabinoid": CBG is called the "Mother" because, in a normal plant, it eventually turns into THC or CBD. By stabilizing this strain, Neural Nursery allows users to consume the "stem cell" of the plant before it differentiates, unlocking unique medical benefits that THC and CBD simply cannot offer.
Terpene Profile: Chamomile and Pine
Because CBG strains do not produce the sticky, oily resin associated with high-THC plants, the terpene profile is dryer, lighter, and more floral.
Dominant Terpenes
Bisabolol (The Floral): Often found in chamomile tea. It provides a sweet, floral aroma and is a potent anti-irritant and antimicrobial agent.
Guaiol (The Wood): A terpene found in cypress pines. It offers a unique woody, rose-like scent and has been studied for anti-inflammatory properties.
Pinene (The Focus): Adds a sharp, fresh note that contributes to the alertness associated with CBG.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: Subtle and clean. It smells of dried chamomile flowers, fresh hops, and light pine. It is not "dank" or skunky; it smells herbal and tea-like.
The Smoke/Vapor: remarkably smooth. It tastes of earthy wood, floral tea, and a hint of spice.
Strain Effects: The Biological Coffee
CBG-Source provides a unique effect that is often described as "transparent."
The Experience
The Clarity: There is absolutely no intoxication. Instead, users report a "lifting of the fog." Vision seems sharper, and mental chatter quiets down.
The Energy: It acts as a mild stimulant, similar to coffee but without the jitters. It is excellent for morning productivity.
The Body: While the mind sharpens, the body relaxes. CBG is known to interact with receptors in the muscle tissue, smoothing out tension without causing sedation.
The Flow: It is the ultimate "Flow State" strain. It allows you to work, study, or exercise with total presence.
Best For: Office work, studying, pre-workout recovery, replacing morning caffeine, and reducing social anxiety.
Medical Benefits
CBG is currently the subject of massive medical research, and CBG-Source is the delivery system.
Gut Health (IBS/Crohn's): CBG has shown incredible promise in reducing inflammation in the gut. It is widely used by patients with sensitive stomachs.
Glaucoma: Research suggests CBG may be a powerful vasodilator and neuroprotectant, helping to reduce intraocular pressure.
Neuroprotection: It is being studied for its ability to protect nerve cells, making it a candidate for treating neurodegenerative conditions.
Anti-Bacterial: CBG has demonstrated strong antimicrobial properties, particularly against skin infections.
Growing CBG-Source: The Reliable Crop
Neural Nursery designed this strain to be a workhorse for the farmer.
Growth Structure
The Compliance: The most important trait is the Low THC. CBG-Source consistently tests below the 0.3% Delta-9 threshold, making it safe for licensed hemp farmers.
The Vigor: Thanks to the Industrial Hemp lineage, it grows fast and tall. It has strong fibrous stalks that can withstand wind.
The Harvest: It is a biomass machine. While it produces smokable flower, it is also excellent for extraction biomass.
Flowering Time: 8 to 9 weeks (or mid-September to early October outdoors).
Grower’s Tip: CBG flowers look different than THC flowers. They are often white or silver (due to CBG crystals) and may not feel as sticky. Do not harvest too late. Unlike THC strains where you wait for amber trichomes, you want to harvest CBG-Source when the trichomes are milky white to preserve the CBG content.
Final Verdict: The Stem Cell Strain
CBG-Source by Neural Nursery is more than a strain; it is a wellness supplement. It strips away the intoxication of cannabis to reveal the raw, medicinal core of the plant. By stabilizing the rare Santhica genetics, Neural Nursery has created a variety that offers focus, gut relief, and clarity in a compliant, easy-to-grow package. If you are looking for the benefits of cannabis without the "high," or if you are a farmer looking for the next big market trend, CBG-Source is the origin point.
You should choose CBG-Source if:
You want medical relief without intoxication (No High).
You struggle with gut inflammation or IBS.
You need a clean energy boost for work or study.
You are a farmer requiring compliant hemp genetics.
