Lemon OG Candy Philosopher Seeds From Cannapot

I walked out the grow room door yesterday and I was surrounded by 5 baby groundhogs. Nose to tail they are about 16 inches long. I didn't seem to bother them as they ate their way through their day. I didn't give them a chance to eat last years cannabis outdoor grow, they eat everything.

Groundhogs make cool pets, I had one when I was a kid.

Really? They acknowledge us as warm and fuzzy if we feed and care for them when they're young huh? They were cute as it gets.

 

[Pennywise]

And very intelligent, mine was actually house broke. He would go to the back door and squeal to be let outside.

 

[StoneOtter]

That's too cool.

 

[StoneOtter]

What did you feed it?

 

[Pennywise]

He eat hard dog food and loved ice cream. Summertime the ice cream truck would stop every day and the Homer wouldrun out to meet the truck. The driver always gave him a popsicle, he would sit right there and eat the whole thing. People loved it!

 

[StoneOtter]

That's too funny.

 

[InTheShed]

Sounds like a circus act to me!

 

[Pennywise]

People all over the neighborhood knew Homer. Lol

 

[Skybound]

This is starting to read like The Green Mile ...

 

[Pennywise]

He was a cool pet!

 

[InTheShed]

Sure sounds like it!

 

[StoneOtter]

Did he sleep, or slow down a lot through winter?

 

[Pennywise]

Not when he was young, but about 3 years old he would get loose and be gone for days then come home. He was digging a burough, in the fall he disappeared for winter and hibernated. He came back one time the following spring then I never saw him again.

Maybe he got a girlfriend and never looked back.

These have 1% cbg so I took a look at what that meant. Very interesting as we both have nerve issues in our necks. I was getting my knee replaced and found out I was a MRSA carrier so that's an interesting attribute too. It's all interesting and good to me.

WHAT IS CBG?
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that plays an important role in the biochemistry of the cannabis plant. CBG acts as a chemical precursor to other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. This conversion typically takes place 6-8 weeks in the flowering cycle. CBG is present only in trace amounts in most cannabis strains, however some hemp strains are specifically cultivated to generate higher yields of this cannabinoid.

CBG displays a multitude of potential health benefits including working as a neuroprotectant, having antioxidant properties, aiding with skin ailments as an antibacterial and antifungal agent, appetite stimulation, treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, inflammation reduction, shows promise in fighting cancer, and lowering intraocular pressure, which may benefit glaucoma patients.

HOW DOES CBG WORK?
CBG interacts with both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, acting as a possible inhibitor to the psychoactive effects of THC. CBG is also thought to boost anandamide, an endocannabinoid that naturally increases dopamine levels and responsible for regulating various health functions such as mood, sleep, and appetite. GABA uptake in the brain may be obstructed by CBG, making this cannabinoid a possible anti-anxiety agent and muscle relaxant. CBG may also block serotonin receptors, showing potential antidepressant traits.

CBG holds promise to be a key constituent in the overall medicinal benefits cannabis may provide. As cannabis research continues to rapidly evolve, CBG may emerge as one of the most therapeutically applicable and diverse cannabinoids to offer a wide range of possible remedies. Feel free to ask any of our knowledgeable patient consultants with any questions you may have.

THE RESEARCH
CBG was examined for lowering intraocular pressure in a 1990 study, making it a possible glaucoma treatment. In a 2008 study CBG was found to be possibly beneficial in the treatment of MRSA due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. A December 2014 study explored CBG as a possible agent to combat colorectal cancer. The neuroprotective properties of CBG were the subject of a January 2015 study, suggesting therapeutic potential for Huntington’s disease. CBG showed to be a particularly effective cannabinoid in a June 2015 study that focused on bladder dysfunction treatment options. An October 2016 study showed CBG to be potentially effective for inducing appetite.

 

[Pennywise]

An interesting cannabinoid with a lot of potential uses.

Nice find otter! I wonder at what percentage it has a noticeable effect. Some breeders call their strains "high CBD" when they contain 1% even though the rest of us are looking at 15-20% for our CBD plants. If 1% CBG is enough then that would be a great find!

Eventually they'll start breeding high CBG plants if there's demand for them. Of course, that will be after the CBD craze fades.

 

[StoneOtter]

Good point about the craze and timing. I'm going to try to tell in a month or so.
