Discover CBG flowers for yourself
Like most other plants, the female hemp plant also develops buds. But not every hemp flower is automatically a CBG flower, because the cannabigerol content is only high in those buds that have a low THC level. Our special non-psychoactive CBG flowers usually have a CBG content of up to 10%, which makes them particularly high in quality.
Our CBG flowers are usually grown entirely indoors. The products from our CBD shop come from sustainable, organic cultivation in Switzerland, so you'll only find high-quality products with us.
With a THC content of less than 0.2 percent, our CBG flowers are of course legal in both Switzerland and the EU.
What makes CBG flowers special?
Before you buy CBG flowers, you're probably wondering what makes them so special and how they differ from CBD flowers. CBG flowers have a high cannabigerol content – in our flowers, the CBG value even reaches 8-10%. Cannabigerol is the "mother molecule" of CBD, THC and other well-known cannabinoids, i.e. every cannabinoid initially starts out as CBG before it becomes CBD etc. through chemical changes. Unlike THC, CBG has no psychoactive effect and doesn't get the user high. There are strong similarities between CBG and CBD, though CBG has been researched for an even shorter time than CBD.
Unlike CBD, the amounts of CBG obtained from the flowers are very small. In the past, the CBG content of CBG flowers was often below 1%. Only through extensive breeding and lab analyses did it finally become possible to grow hemp varieties whose flowers had a higher CBG content. In our CBG flower Passion-CBG, for example, you'll find a CBG content of 8-10% as well as many other high-quality constituents and terpenes. To always guarantee a high CBG content and excellent quality, our CBG flowers, just like our CBD flowers, are subject to constant lab testing.
In terms of taste, this CBG flower offers a special experience, as its aroma is reminiscent of hops, but also of floral chamomile and woody pine.
Growing CBG flowers
When growing hemp plants, a basic distinction can be made between outdoor, indoor and greenhouse cultivation. Each location has its advantages and disadvantages.
Outdoor cultivation
Planting hemp in the open air saves money, because hardly any technology is needed. In the best case, water falls from the sky by itself, and the lighting is also a gift of nature. Now and then, watering is necessary during heat and prolonged drought, but things get riskier with persistent rain: in that case, the plants can go mouldy. Growing and harvesting are no longer possible from late autumn at the latest, which reduces the yield.
Indoor cultivation
When growing indoors, all the factors that affect the hemp plants, and therefore the CBG flowers, can be controlled relatively precisely. Light and temperature can be regulated, as can the supply of water and nutrients. In addition, harvesting is possible all year round. However, it all costs quite a bit more than outdoor cultivation, and the CBG flower harvest is smaller on the relatively small growing area.
Greenhouse cultivation:
The greenhouse is considered a kind of compromise between the two approaches. The outer walls let sunlight in, but not rain. Heat is retained inside, and various harmful influences can be kept out. Nevertheless, a constant supply of water and nutrients has to be ensured here as well.
Why you should buy CBG flowers from Green Passion

How long do CBG flowers keep?
You can't always use up your flowers right after receiving them. That's absolutely no problem, because after gentle drying, our products can be stored without damage for 6 to 12 months. During this time, however, you should protect your CBG flowers well from sunlight, air and moisture. They love a temperature between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius, so they don't belong in the fridge. A dry cellar or a cool room is a better choice.
Unlike CBD, the amounts of CBG obtained from the flowers are very small. In the past, the CBG content of CBG flowers was often below 1%. Only through extensive breeding and lab analysis did it finally become possible to grow hemp strains whose flowers had a higher CBG content. In our CBG flower Passion-CBG, for example, you'll find a CBG content of 8-10% as well as many other high-quality compounds and terpenes. To always ensure a high CBG content and excellent quality, our CBG flowers, just like our CBD flowers, undergo constant lab testing.
In terms of taste, this CBG flower offers a special experience, as its aroma is reminiscent of hops, but also of floral chamomile and woody pine.
Tips for aroma-preserving storage
Over time, UV light breaks down the active compounds and dries out the CBG flowers. It also damages the resin glands responsible for the natural slight stickiness. An opaque container is therefore a must if you want to store your CBG flowers properly. The container should also be airtight, otherwise the CBG flowers will dry out and lose their tasty aroma fairly quickly. Ideally, humidity should be between 50 and 60 percent, which keeps the aroma and texture intact for the longest time.

FAQ about CBG
Cannabigerol, also known as CBG, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is most commonly found in cannabis strains with low THC and high CBD content. So CBG can't make you feel high. Unlike THC, CBG binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. However, CBG counteracts the psychoactive properties of THC. CBG concentrations vary between different cannabis varieties, but are usually extremely low, which makes extraction difficult.
Affinity for cannabinoid receptors
One difference between CBD and CBG is their affinity for cannabinoid receptors. Compared to CBG, CBD has a low affinity for cannabinoid receptors, but has a very complex effect. CBG has a high affinity for both the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, which makes CBG a research subject in its own right.
Different concentrations in the cannabis plant
Another difference is that, unlike CBD, the CBG concentration in a hemp plant changes. As the cannabis plant matures, CBGA is converted into THC and CBD. As a result, CBG concentrations remain extremely low. That's why it's recommended to harvest the hemp plant at an early stage to obtain a higher CBG concentration.
Cannabigerolic acid as a common origin
Both CBD and CBG share cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) as their common primary chemical compound. As the plant matures, CBGA breaks down into CBCA, THCA and CBDA, leaving a small percentage of CBGA behind. When the decarboxylation process takes place, THCA, CBDA, CBCA and CBGA break down further into THC, CBD, CBC and CBG respectively.
CBD and CBG are both non-psychoactive
Although both compounds interact with our endocannabinoid system (ECS), neither CBD nor CBG is psychoactive, and neither of them will get you high.
CBD and CBG both cause an entourage effect
The interplay of several cannabinoids is known as the entourage effect. Full-spectrum products contain this interplay, isolates do not.
Like all other cannabis products, CBG flowers are legal as long as their THC content is below 1%; in Europe, the THC content must not exceed 0.2%.
CBG flowers are not psychoactive
