CBG flowers

CBG flowers are dried hemp buds of the species Cannabis sativa, an annual, herbaceous plant, with a particularly high content of cannabigerol, legally available in specialised online shops and selected local stores in Germany. CBG is mainly extracted from young hemp plants that are not yet fully matured. The cannabigerol comes from the 'true' hemp plant Cannabis sativa, which is valued as a special species for its natural and biological properties.

What's special about CBG: it is considered the so-called mother cannabinoid. In the early flowering phase of the hemp plant, cannabigerol is present as a precursor (cannabigerolic acid or CBGA) before it converts into other cannabinoids such as CBD and THC. That's why producers harvest the plants for CBG flowers much earlier than for CBD flowers; only this way does the CBG content remain at its maximum. More information on the definition of CBG.

Several options are available to you today for purchasing:

Most customers choose to buy from the online shop, where you'll find the largest selection of strains, can view lab certificates directly on the product page, and benefit from transparent quality standards.

You can order high-quality CBG flowers most safely from specialised online shops with EU certification, transparent lab tests and traceable product origin.

The difference between reputable providers and questionable sources shows up in crucial details:

Characteristics of reputable CBG providers:

• Complete lab analyses (Certificate of Analysis) available for every batch

• Clear information on CBG content and THC proportion

• Transparent information on origin and growing method

• EU-certified hemp cultivation

• German customer service and legally compliant delivery

Warning signs of disreputable providers:

• Missing or incomplete lab reports

• Unrealistically low prices for supposed premium quality

• No information on the origin of the hemp flowers

• Unclear terms and conditions or lack of contact options

• Shipping from countries with an unclear legal situation (outside Switzerland or the EU)

When buying CBG online, you should above all pay attention to the lab analyses. Reputable shops make these available directly on the product page or on request. The analyses show you the exact CBG content, the THC proportion and possible contaminants.

Yes, CBG flowers are marketable in Germany as long as the THC content is below 0.3% and the products come from EU-certified industrial hemp. CBG is classified as a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, similar to CBD, and may therefore be legally sold and possessed. More on the differences between CBD and CBG. This is not legal advice, and the legal situation may change.

The legal basis is clear: cannabigerol is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and is not subject to the Narcotics Act. Unlike THC, CBG does not produce an intoxicating state, so you can order CBG flowers and possess them. The use of CBG is permitted in Germany, for example as a cosmetic raw material or in the hemp industry.

Important legal framework conditions:

1. THC limit: The THC content must be below 0.3% (in Switzerland below 1%)

2. Origin: The hemp plant must come from EU-certified industrial hemp

3. Intended use: Products are declared as aroma products, raw materials or, for example, as a cosmetic raw material or for the hemp industry

4. Age: Purchase is permitted for people aged 18 and over

When it comes to transport and possession, you're on the safe side if you carry the proof of purchase and, ideally, the lab certificate with you. This way, you can prove, in case of doubt, that your CBG hemp flowers meet the legal requirements.

At CBDÍA there are four CBG strains: Orange Bud, Northern Lights, Green Pistachio and Vanilla Kush, each available in 2.5, 5, 10 and 25 grams from the glasshouse in Austria, plus the CBG Sample Pack. The German market offers you a growing selection of CBG-rich strains with different aroma profiles and cannabigerol concentrations between 5% and 15%. CBG flowers are traded as an aroma product and as a raw material, for example for cosmetics manufacturing or the hemp industry. The strains can mainly be distinguished by four verifiable characteristics: the stated CBG content, the terpene profile from the lab report, the growing method with country of origin, and the price per gram. For legal reasons, manufacturers may not sell or declare CBG flowers, like other cannabinoid flowers, as a product for consumption. We therefore deliberately do not give any recommendations for intake, consumption or dosage.

The variety of strains differs mainly in three areas:

CBG content by category:

• Mild beginner strains (4-6% CBG): subtle aroma, lowest price per gram

• Terpene-rich natural strains (7-10% CBG): Balanced price-to-quality ratio, versatile, best flavour

• Flavoured flowers (12-15% CBG): Highly concentrated, sprayed with CBG isolate, artificially treated

Aroma profiles and terpenes: Terpenes, natural constituents of the plant, determine the taste and aroma. In addition to cannabigerol (CBG) as an important constituent, the flowers contain other cannabinoids and terpenes that shape the overall profile. Depending on the strain, you'll find:

• Citrusy, fresh variants

• Earthy, spicy profiles

• Floral, sweet notes

You can assess the quality of CBG flowers based on appearance, smell and feel.

Strains with a medium CBG content and a pleasant, not too intense aroma are suitable for getting started. This way, you can get to know the properties of the cannabinoid without immediately committing to a very distinctive profile. Feel free to also check out the experiences with CBG oils and CBG flowers to get a better picture of CBG.

Indoor, Glasshouse or Outdoor: Growing Methods Compared

Indoor flowers offer higher CBG values and more consistent quality, while outdoor variants have a better price-to-quality ratio and a more natural aroma.

Our range: CBDÍA's range includes CBG flowers from the glasshouse in Austria, i.e. from protected cultivation under sunlight; we do not currently carry outdoor CBG flowers. The table provides a general classification of the growing methods.

When buying CBG flowers, pay attention above all to verified lab certificates, the actual CBG content, origin from EU-certified cultivation and transparent quality standards from the provider.

Your checklist for buying:

✅ Lab certificate (COA) available

• Shows exact CBG and THC content

• Confirms absence of pesticides and heavy metals

• Should come from independent laboratories

✅ Check the cannabinoid profile

• CBG content matches product description

• THC below 0.3% (Switzerland: below 1%)

• Other cannabinoids such as CBD or CBC listed transparently, see also our CBC Flowers

✅ Origin and production

• EU-certified industrial hemp

• Clear information on cultivation (indoor/outdoor)

• Ideally organic quality or organic hemp cultivation

✅ Visual quality characteristics

• Dense, resinous flower structure

• Fresh, green to slightly golden colouring

• Intense, natural aroma

Which CBG Content Is Suitable for Getting Started?

For getting started, strains with 5-8% CBG are the most sought-after category, because they offer a balanced ratio of aroma and price per gram. You'll find more background on the cannabinoid itself in our guide on cannabigerol and CBG flowers.

Guidance for choosing a strain:

• Strains with 5-8% CBG concentration cover the broad middle ground

• Choose mild aroma profiles (floral, slightly earthy) if you don't like pronounced spiciness

• Small quantities of 2 to 5 grams are suitable for comparing several strains

• Larger quantities lower the price per gram once you've found your strain

Every terpene profile tastes different, and two batches of the same strain can differ. So take your time to compare the lab reports side by side before committing to a strain.

Prices: What Do High-Quality Products Cost?

High-quality CBG flowers cost between €5 and €7 per gram, with premium indoor flowers at the upper end and outdoor variants at the lower end of the price range.

Price overview by quality tier:

Factors that influence the price:

• Growing method: Indoor production is more elaborate and expensive
