Californian Gold

Let's explore the captivating allure of Californian Gold, a classic cannabis hybrid that receives a turbo boost, characterized by abundant resin glands and dripping with sweet honey oil. This strain, a result of meticulous breeding at Paradise Seeds, blends heritage genetics from an Afghani female with an in-house-developed male, featuring elements of original US Skunk and South Asian indica. The outcome is a true indica heavyweight, a golden gift to growers. Californian Gold, an indica-dominant hybrid (80/20), pays homage to classic Californian genetics. Its robust resinous buds, boasting a THC content ranging from 20-24%, make it a valuable addition to any collection. The strain's appearance is a tribute to its name – dense, compact buds that exude an oily sheen, reminiscent of liquid gold. As you delve into Californian Gold, the tropical scent takes center stage. A mouth-watering blend of sweet citrus, with prominent notes of lemon and mango, reflects its Limonene and Myrcene-heavy terpene profile. For connoisseurs, the taste is a sweet treat that beckons for another hit, making it a delightful experience for the senses. Recreationally, Californian Gold has gained popularity for its high THC content, providing a potent and relaxing experience. It's not for the novice user but is perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, offering full-body relaxation without inducing a heavy indica fog. On the medical front, this strain is a favorite among users comfortable with high THC levels. Its super relaxing effects make it an excellent choice for pain relief and a reliable aid for combating sleep insomnia. In essence, Californian Gold is a nostalgic journey back to classic Californian genetics, elevated by modern breeding techniques. Its resinous buds, tropical aroma, and potent effects make it a shining example of cannabis cultivation, embodying the spirit of the Golden State.

Gute Pflanze, mit sehr schweren und mega großen lockeren Buds.

Las plantas de esta genética aunque un poco menos productivas q el resto en producción de tricomas y terpenos equilibra la balanza. Un gusto cosecharlas aunque en los inicio tuviera una pequeña carencia de calcio y magnesio se recuperaron perfectamente.

I am so glad I have more seeds of this variety. I did not do it justice this time around. Considering that I over watered, topped/flowered to soon, wind burnt, and underfed her, she made some very lovely nugs. The fact that she didn't die, or hermie at all is a good sign this is a stable strain. The smell is strong, however, at this point at the start of curing, I find it to be like a very strong skunk with like a smokiness about it, kind of like how a glass of scotch has a smokiness to it. Paradise lists it as a fruity sweet type of strain, so I'll have to see what it's like after curing. Also the trouble I put her through may have caused a change in the terpene profile. The buds are super frosty and dense, though small, and i am very excited to try this. I must wait at least two weeks for curing to take place from today (may 5 2020). So I couldn't wait. 11 days in the jar curing and I couldn't take it anymore. Cracking the jars a couple of times a day and just getting nailed with its perfume was to much. The smell has settled and is less smoky and more wood like with sweet but pungent skunky undertones to it. The smoke is great, nice and smooth and rich in flavour, and the high is clear, but very mellow and happy. So four months have passed now and the cure is at its peak. The smell has changed and is a realllly seductive juicy sweet smell. I was not expecting this amount of flower to last this long but I'm glad I still have it. The terpene profile now has completely changed and is just so good. The effects still seem the same. Very indica. Almost entirely body but also doesn't make me sleepy. This is my new love. Great job paradise!! I'll have to start another plant now, as I'm not sure what I got out of this is going to last me very long. The only reason I gave this plant 9 stars is because it was not quite as resilient as the space cookies plant that was treated the exact same way. That plant had zero issues. Californian gold needs to be treated with a bit more gentle hand, which is fine but that point loss is for less ease of growth.
