However, certain strains have been bred over the years to present a higher CBG potency than other strains. Smokable hemp flower, while a niche sector of the industry, is gaining popularity. But how do you know what strains are high CBG potency strains?
This list is a starting point down the rabbit hole of CBG smokable hemp flower.
White Widow
A great starter smokable hemp flower, White Widow averages around 15% CBGa and less than .3% THC, according to Mr. Hemp Flower. The Beta-Pinene terpene present in its profile offers a spicy, earthy, and fresh flavor.
