Eldorado
Also known as: El Dorado
What is the Eldorado strain?
Eldorado is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Eldorado is Spanish for "the golden one," in reference to the Spanish colonial term for a legendary golden city in modern-day Colombia. The name is also used to describe a sativa landrace native to Mexico with golden-green flowers. Eldorado is a remarkable Sativa from the Oaxaca region of Mexico. Originating from the mystical land of Colombia, Eldorado showcases the rich cannabis heritage of South America. Its lineage can be traced back to the indigenous sativa strains that have thrived in the region for centuries. This strain's genetic makeup combines the best traits of these Colombian landraces, resulting in a truly remarkable cannabis variety. At Nirvana, we have been selectively backcrossing this landrace for at least a dozen generations. This legendary sativa is a must-try for cannabis nerds and seekers of landrace varieties.
Eldorado is distinguished by its medium to large flowers that have an elongated, spindly formation. They have a uniquely sativa bud structure, appearing fluffy and wispy with relatively large leaves that tend to spiral loosely outward from their central stems. These leaves are a vibrant spring green and are twisted through with brown and orange pistils. Finally, Eldorado's flowers are capped off by the amber-colored trichomes that lend it its name, making the buds appear dewy and golden. Eldorado generates long and fluffy buds. The buds are quite sparse in relation to its tall height. Its buds are thin and airy, which means yields are not of particular commercial interest, but fortunately, the quality of Eldorado smoke is the stuff of legends!
