Classic cannabis genetics get a turbo boost with this special hybrid characterized by over productive resin glands and dripping with sweet honey oil.
The Paradise Seeds research and development program has been looking for an indica hybrid with unique qualities and Californian Gold is it! We have taken a trip down memory lane with this variety, released to commemorate legalization in the Golden State, picking out some old school classic Californian genetics and giving them a turbo boost to produce something very special.
It was during development that the grow team observed a rare phenomenon – the production of resin gives the appearance of sweet honey. This plant literally drips with resin!
Californian Gold lives up to its name in the grow department, an easy going addition to both indoor and outdoor setups. It is a bushy plant, robust with thick stems and big leaves, and is very pleasing to grow. In terms of production, smell and flavor this plant comes with the full package.
For the indoor grower, its medium size makes it a good companion for the grow room, especially one where height is an issue. The quick flower time and dependable yield are two further qualities to recommend this variety and production is characterized by large buds that are compact and oozing with resin.
Outdoor, in the garden, Californian Gold will naturally thrive in warmer climates, where the sun will make those characteristically large indica buds swell. However, the hybrid nature of this plant makes it a reasonable adapter to the cooler climates of more northern regions.
This is a plant that has a natural place in any garden and the predominant scent is tropical – a mouthwatering sweet citrus pungency, with tones of lemon and mango. As such this is a very tasty treat for any connoisseur with a sweet taste that invites you to come back for more! The effect is a wonderfully relaxing body hit with a definite sense of uplifting clarity.
Californian Gold is a real clear headed indica producing chunky nuggets whose genetic makeup that brings superb relaxation qualities that will be very attractive to users of medical cannabis too.

Strain FAQ
How have breeders improved medium flowering time strains' pest and disease resistance?
In pest-prone areas, selective breeding has made some medium-flowering cultivars more resistant to pests and illnesses. Increased resistance is said to be able to reduce chemical treatment use, enabling healthier output and decreasing maintenance.
Which terpenes contribute to mango flavour?
Along with myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene contribute to mango cannabis strain flavour. Pinene's piney note balances mango's sweetness, while caryophyllene's spicy, peppery tone adds complexity.
Why are average-yielding cannabis strains said to be more sustainable for legal growers?
Water, nutrients, and light intensity are all reportedly less needed by these kinds of strains. Their sustainability and cost-effectiveness therefore often makes them more attractive than their high-yielding cousins.
When did feminised cannabis seeds first come about?
In the late 20th century, feminised seeds revolutionised cannabis production. This breakthrough allowed producers to focus on bud-producing females without worrying about unproductive male plants eating up space and resources.
What traits make a cannabis strain beginner-friendly?
Beginner strains are generally hardy and require little maintenance. They can handle temperature, humidity, and food changes due to their robust genetics. Being resistant to common pests and illnesses is said to simplify things greatly.
