Baguio Gold
Baguio Gold
Also known as: Baguio Gold Lemon Pine
Overview
Baguio Gold is a Philippine sativa landrace strain originating from the mountainous region of Baguio in the northern Philippines, cultivated at elevations ranging from 200 to 1700 meters above sea level at 16°N latitude. This exceptional strain was preserved and refined by The Landrace Team, a group known for their commitment to maintaining classic cannabis genetics while innovating new hybrids. Historical records estimate that nearly 75% of its genetic makeup is derived from renowned sativa lines that have been historically celebrated for their energizing characteristics. The strain is considered among the most sought-after landraces in the Philippines, often referred to as the highest quality smoke available in the country. Visually, Baguio Gold features towering, elongated buds typical of sativa lineage with dense structure adorned with thick, shimmering trichomes that give them a golden hue, especially under natural sunlight, making the name remarkably fitting. The buds display a balanced interplay of colors with deep forest greens forming the dominant palette, complemented by vibrant hints of gold and fiery orange pistils. Some phenotypes develop purple and red coloration during the final stages of flowering and produce significant amounts of resin.

Growing Information
Vegetative stage ranges from 12 to 18 weeks for different phenotypes, with flowering time extending from 11 to 18 weeks (approximately 105 days average). Plants can reach heights up to 2.5 meters and yield medium-high harvests. Can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses, though never available as feminized seeds. Known for vigorous, healthy, and resistant genetics that can withstand difficult climatic conditions. Plant exhibits vigorous growth reaching great height quickly, with wide internodal spaces in first branches that become shorter as the plant develops. Experts recommend balanced feeding regimes which can increase cannabinoid yields by 10%, and proper training techniques like topping and LST can improve yield consistency by 22%. The strain is considered hardy and suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.
