What is the Florida Gold strain?
Florida Gold is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Florida Gold is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by DNA Genetics as part of their Grow Your Own (G.Y.O.) collection. This potent cannabis variety was created by crossing Florida OG with a clone-only strain called Jew Gold Cut (also known as Kosher Kush), resulting in a strain that typically exhibits 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. DNA Genetics reported an impressive 80% success rate in phenotype selection during their testing phase, with the majority of plants being deemed worthy of retention as mother plants for future cultivation.
Florida Gold is characterized by its vibrant, colorful buds that exhibit the bright and fresh characteristics reminiscent of Florida's sunshine. The strain features intense aromas and flavors dominated by pine and lemon notes, combined with the powerful, earthy undertones typical of classic OG Kush genetics. The buds are typically thick and elongated, displaying abundant trichomes and a sticky resin production. With THC levels ranging from 18-22% and CBD content between 0.66-1.13%, Florida Gold provides a balanced yet predominantly relaxing experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users seeking relief without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
