Golden Papaya
Also known as: Golden Papaya #1, Golden Papaya Hybrid
Golden Papaya Strain Overview
Golden Papaya is a modern boutique hybrid prized for its tropical fruit bouquet, bright citrus snap, and heavy resin production. Growers and consumers often describe it as a terpene-forward cultivar with a papaya-mango core layered over pineapple, sweet citrus, and faint peppery spice. The name Golden Papaya reflects both its ripe fruit aromatics and the warm, golden hues that mature flowers can show under strong light. While the exact breeder history varies by market and cut, Golden Papaya sits squarely within the broader Papaya family that has surged in popularity since the late 2010s.
Multiple breeders have created strains named Golden Papaya with different genetic backgrounds. The most documented version from 808 Genetics is a complicated cross of Papaya with a Zkittlez x London Pound Cake #75 x Kush Mints #11 mash-up, with a flowering time of 56-65 days. Another popular version from Oni Seed Co is created by crossing Kosher Kush with Papaya, featuring a tempting tropical scent and offering uplifting and energetic effects without anxiety or mental over-stimulation. This version is described as a slightly sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) with beautiful, fluffy oversized popcorn-shaped olive green nugs with golden undertones, thin yellow-orange hairs and a coating of tiny, frosty golden crystal trichomes.
