These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →

About CBG White Whale
Genetics & strain profile
CBG White Whale is a sativa-dominant photoperiod strain selected from parents known for their high CBG potential: it carries 9 to 11% CBG with very little THC, so it is grown for the cannabigerol rather than for a high. It has five reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5. Four are 5 stars from growers who liked the plants — “magnificent, two months old, a beautiful green and stocky” — and from people using it for a purpose: one grows it for an uncle’s chronic pain, who finds it more effective than strains without CBD, and uses it himself for anxiety, noting a mild lifting effect alongside the calm. The 1-star review is honest and we include it: a grower in 2026 could not get the seeds to start, we replaced them, and the second set did not come up either, in a garden where everything else grew. That is not typical, but it happened. Our seeds are guaranteed: if yours do not germinate, contact us. Note that none of these reviews are about THC effects, because there are almost none.
How CBG White Whale grows
It has a short flowering time of 7 to 8 weeks and typically gives 400 to 500 g/m² indoors; the plants grow to a moderate height with a sativa structure, so a single topping keeps them even. CBG peaks earlier than THC in a flowering plant and converts into other cannabinoids as the buds ripen, so for the highest CBG content harvest on the early side of ripe — mostly cloudy trichomes, few amber — rather than waiting for the heavy-amber window you would use for a THC strain. Outdoors, plan to harvest around late October, with up to 350 g per plant depending on growing conditions; that is a late window for Quebec and Ontario, so give it the sunniest spot you have, start it indoors in April, or grow it in a greenhouse. On germination, soak for 12 to 24 hours and then plant in warm (22 to 25 °C), barely damp medium; cold or wet soil is the usual reason a seed does not come up.
Taste, aroma and effect
Earthy, herbal and citrus, like fresh herbs and citrus zest, without the heavy sweetness of modern dessert strains. There is no real high: CBG is non-intoxicating, and reviewers describe calm, pain relief and a gentle lift rather than any buzz, which is what makes it usable through the day. If you want CBG with a little THC, or a different flavour, see CBG Sour G and CBG Super Glue; for balanced CBD strains, CBD Harlequin and CBD Charlotte’s Web, or browse all CBD and CBG seeds.

I could not get them started. Company sent me new seeds. They started and I planted them and nothing. It's been a month now. I can grow anything else, garden is full of my own started plants. Is this strain really hard to start? Should I ask for more seeds for next year. Frustrating

Je la fais pousser pour la douleur chronique de mon oncle. Il est très satisfait de l’efficacité de cette sorte par rapport aux autres sans CBD. En plus de l’effet sédatif du CBD, il y a un effet élévateur assez agréable. Je l’utilise personnellement pour diminuer mon anxiété et je suis très satisfait. Par contre, pour les gens ne souffrant pas de quelque chose, ce n’est pas une variété pour vous puisqu’elle n’offre pas d’avantages par rapport aux autres (à part le CBD bien sûr).
