How to customize native CSS styling for column spacing beyond g-5 in Bootstrap rows

Question

A simple landing page is being built using bootstrap. I need to increase the column spacing in the rows. I know we can increase the spacing with a custom sass spacing mixin, but since the website I'm building contains several sections, I want to keep it simple and not require a build process. I used g-5 class names on the rows, which provides 32px or 40px spacing between columns. How to increase it further using CSS.

<div class="container mt-5 pt-5">
      <div class="row text-light g-5 fs-1">
        <div class="col-lg-4">
          <div class="bg-dark p-5">column</div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-lg-4">
          <div class="bg-dark p-5">column</div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-lg-4">
          <div class="bg-dark p-5">column</div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

To use CSS to increase column spacing in a row, you can use the grid-column-gap property. This property specifies the spacing between columns in a grid layout.

.container {
  mt-5;
  pt-5;
}

.row {
  text-light;
  g-5;
  fs-1;
  grid-column-gap: 50px;
}
