Gold Star Strain Overview
Gold Star is a sativa-dominant hybrid created by renowned breeder Bodhi Seeds through crossing two legendary strains: Sensi Star, a famous indica, and Malawi Gold, a potent African sativa. This genetic combination brings together the best of both worlds, resulting in a heavy-yielding cultivar with distinctive aromatic qualities. The strain exhibits small, round, dark olive green nugs with bright orange pistils and a thick, frosty coating of golden crystal trichomes that give it its namesake appearance.
The breeding philosophy behind Gold Star represents Bodhi Seeds' approach to combining old-school genetics with modern cultivation techniques. The strain showcases the sweet turpentine characteristics inherited from its Sensi Star parent while incorporating the vigorous growth patterns and energetic effects of its Malawi Gold lineage. Users report that Gold Star delivers incredible aromas of menthol, pine, and fresh flowers, with a complex flavor profile that includes fruity, spicy, earthy, sour, and piney notes. The strain is particularly valued for its fast-acting onset and long-lasting effects, making it suitable for daytime use when energy and creativity are desired.
