Thanks Boo - it was fun trying to capture it. Looked like it was jewelled 
I dont think so - the click actions on the like button are a bit difffernt depending on what device you’re using. On my iPad, if i just tap it it gives a ‘Like’ but if i tap and hold for a sec (not too long) it gives the options for the other responses. I guess on a compute that would either be a ‘hover over’ or ‘click and hold’ to get the options. Hope you work it out!

For people to know whether they should be interested in this plant, here are the effects of the plant on the patient, which even though I'm a new grower, I still want to know about first:
CBG (Cannabigerol):
- CBG is thought to be non-psychoactive. It is known to act as a weak agonist of the CB2 receptor and is thought to exert most of its effects via this pathway. It appears to bind weakly with the CB1 receptor too, although it is unclear what effects this interaction may produce.
- CBG has also been shown to have affinity with the 5HT1-receptor, which regulates serotonin release and the adrenoceptor, which controls expression of adrenaline and noradrenaline throughout the nervous system.
- Has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
- May relieve intraocular pressure due to glaucoma.
Yes exactly that - that’s why we’re all so interested. 
Another one to keep an eye out for is CBC - higher levels occur earlier in the plants life also - it has many similar properties to CBD and is apparently a massive amount more potent/effective. That’s one reason why I dont mind harvesting a CBD plant a little early and before any amber at all, if I can. Chances are it also has CBC so it’s a win-win in my book.
Amy, I am not educated at all in CBG. if you had to list a top three of the benefits what would you call out?We seem to have some similar aesthetic tastes in general
For those who don’t know the CBG story, in terms of the plants’ chemical processes, CBG is the precursor cannabinoid from which all the others are derived/converted along with many other components including terpenes and flavonoids. As far as my study has taught me, when CBG is detected in the harvested bud, it indicates a recessive gene mutation that inhibits the conversion from CBG to other molecules. That’s why Gray and i are so ‘gobsmacked’ at the % levels in this one. It’s quite a genetic discovery and achievement.
Oops. Reading from the top down. I think there may be an answer already!
Thank you.... will give it a try.Thanks Boo - it was fun trying to capture it. Looked like it was jewelled

I really don’t know Boo! WHat HG posted are what researchers are seeing in labs, in terms of where and how the molecule attaches to the receptors. It’s just antiheroes element in the ‘entourage’ effect. I wouldn’t be likely to go for CBG alone - it’d be part of a blended medicine.
. Thanks. This is all so interesting. I don’t enjoy/grow for pain and I am partial the the energetic, creative highs from weed - which is reflected in my seed choices. However, I am very interested in the other aspects/benefits for friends and family, and perhaps myself. I’m realizing that I have plenty of room and the weather is great for outdoor growing so am up for experimenting! Anything cannabis related that will keep ticks off me?????
I've been mulling it over ...
It tends to be in higher ratios in the strains I like, so that was a clue. I've grown and sampled well over 50 strains now, so I have a good picture of how the cannabinoids and terps affect me. There's a clarity in a high that includes higher CBG. I described Panama as "sensual" when I first grew it. I meant sensory, but also truly sensual. And other favorites with bright buzzes also had higher CBG.
There's an added sense of clarity, clearness, lack of fuzz. If raw CBG primarily binds to the CB2 receptor without a noted psychoactive effect, then it might be directly interacting with nerve response at the source. CB2 receptors are distributed throughout body tissues, whereas CB1 are mostly concentrated in the brain.
So maybe we could think of it as a nerve function stimulator/moderator. My senses are sharper.

Not that I know of but Shed makes an excellent salve from stem, root and leaf that would surely help with the bites!

Thanks !
I always vegged at 65-75, mostly at the low end. Maybe that's why they vegged so slowly !
When I first read "7 on 5 off then 7 on 5 off for the veg cycle but reverse the times to 5 on 7 off, 5 on 7 off for flower cycle" my firstthought was the Isle of Dr. Moreau and the vivisectionist dream of taking a goat and cutting it hips so it could walk upright, and maybe put on chimpanzee arms and a peacock tail.
Even if there is a point to this method, I doubt 5 on 7 off would actually flower - the interupted sleep cycle is practically the definition of photoperiod gas lighting.
I believe the part attributed to Celt to do 12/12 and under for the first 3 weeks in flower then icrease beyond 12 to increase photosynthetic radiation times and build bigger buds. It probably works like that. Running a perpetual grow, I always have different ages in the flower room so never actually tried it.
I know that @Rider09 used to run far red light pucks for a few minutes after lights-out that shut the plants down faster, so he ran his flower room at 14/10 and grew enormous colas.
So, this CBG, are these experiments on the acid form or the decarbed form?We seem to have some similar aesthetic tastes in general

I'm guessing that's from smoking it, so it would be CBG rather than CBGa, yes?
The other interesting thing, is more of just a “wishing stone” for me really. I’ve been drooling over this piece of glass for about 4 months and discussions about new glass in HH’s & VG’s threads got me thinking about it again. Sometime in the next few months or so it will be my birthday. I’m putting this here as an aspirational affirmation that I will find a way to buy it for myself - or second someone else to buy it for me
I don’t consume via combustion very often - I’ve pulled it back to just weekends and special occasions again - but when I do, I like it to be special. I definitley deserve this beautiful glass sculpture to grace my shelf - and my lips!
That's a beautiful piece. My 2 favorite shapes are the water hammer and my fishbowl version of a waterhammer with a sherlock style stem

Wow thanks Radogast & InTheShed, that’s exactly what I was looking for!

Hay Amy I just found your ne journal sorry it took me a bit to find it. Looks like you are off to a good start

Hola PC! Great to have you here, it really is
I tend to assume it’s decarb’d when i read CBG without the ‘a’. i probably shouldn’t, but you know me - I’m a bit fast and loose, with my research
glad you found some good responses here thirteen! I drew a blank on that yesterday. Last night I remembered another scenario for longer light in flower; @Van Stank puts any plant that he wants to re-veg back into veg light cycle a few weeks before harvest as he says it helps the re-veg transition faster.ooh! That’s quite nice too - i like the upright shape.
