Golden Child Strain Overview
Golden Child is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (65% sativa, 35% indica) developed by crossing Highland Oaxaca Gold with Chelumbian genetics. This strain represents a successful attempt to improve upon the original Highland Oaxaca Gold, which was known for its sweet pineapple taste and relaxing effects but suffered from slow vegetation and weak yields. The cross with Chelumbian brought added vigor, a much better root system, stronger branching, and larger yields, making it significantly better for cultivation. Golden Child essentially mines the nearly extinct "gold" strains of the 1970s and improves upon them, featuring old-school heirloom genetics. The buds are dense and oblong, inheriting aesthetic traits from its landrace sativa origins with surfaces ranging from mint to olive green, with large areas of gold similar to Acapulco Gold. The most desirable phenotypes are vigorous, chunky plants with pronounced pineapple characteristics.
