CBC – Cannabichromene
We all have heard of CBD (cannabidiol) and the ever-popular THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), but there is one cannabinoid that is often overlooked. One of the most beneficial and important cannabinoids we should start to learn more about is CBC (cannabichromene).
Cannabichromene is typically present in relatively small amounts in cannabis (and hemp). Along with it’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, CBC also has been known to stimulate brain growth and is considered to have anti-proliferative (inhibiting the growth of cancerous tumors) attributes.
In addition to these already amazing benefits, CBC is believed to be helpful with the treatment of migraines as well as stimulating brain growth. This powerful cannabinoid is also thought to work as an anti-depressant. With all of this going for it, why have we not heard more about this cannabinoid? In short, because of the lack of federal testing. If Cannabis becomes legal federally, we will see more testing around the cannabis plant and it’s beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes.
This is why third-party labs are essential when purchasing hemp flower online. We include full potency and terpene reports with every order. Learn how to understand your lab results so you can custom tailor your hemp flower for your own needs.
Why is CBC so present in Happy Flower Hemp?
All of our hemp is indoor grown under a proprietary spectrum known as the Phyto-Genesis spectrum developed by Black Dog LED.
“Photosynthesis isn’t the only light-driven process in plants. Secondary metabolites (compounds) are created in a process called photomorphogenesis, many based on colors of light not used directly for photosynthesis.”
“The Phyto-Genesis Spectrum® includes ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light to stimulate plants to create these quality-enhancing compounds. While UV and IR are both outside of the PAR lighting region, they are both present in natural sunlight and are critical to achieving plants’ full potential.” – blackdogled.com
It is because of this spectrum we are able to cultivate our hemp with far more terpenes and minor cannabinoids than any other hemp flower available. Interested in trying some CBC rich flower?
