Goldust
Also known as: Gold Dust
Goldust Strain Overview
Goldust is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix in 2022, created through crossing Rainbow Runtz with Scotty 2 Hotty. Named for its jaw-dropping golden-amber appearance, this strain represents an elite creation from one of the industry's most respected breeders. The strain exhibits dense, conical bright neon green nuggets with golden-amber undertones, abundant orange hairs, and a thick coating of golden-amber tinted white crystal trichomes that give it its distinctive "gold dust" appearance.
The lineage brings together two exceptional parent strains: Rainbow Runtz (Rainbow Chip × Runtz) contributes vibrant terpene complexity and visual appeal, while Scotty 2 Hotty (Biscotti × Rainbow Chip) adds resin production and growth vigor. This combination results in a strain with above-average THC potential ranging from 21-30%, making it suitable for experienced users seeking potent effects. Goldust is notable for its balanced hybrid nature, offering both energizing sativa effects and grounding indica characteristics, making it versatile for various consumption preferences and times of day.

Goldust Strain Growing Information
Goldust is considered moderately difficult to grow, requiring proper lighting and temperature control for optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of 56-70 days (8-10 weeks) and grows to medium-tall height both indoors and outdoors. Plants respond well to training techniques including topping, LST (Low Stress Training), and supercropping. Indoor cultivation requires full-spectrum lighting and temperatures maintained in the mid-70s Fahrenheit with controlled humidity, especially after week 4 of flowering to prevent mold. Yields are moderate but high quality, with plants developing dense, resin-coated colas. The strain adapts well to both small indoor spaces and large outdoor gardens, with heavy yields reported when grown under optimal conditions. Only feminized seeds are available from Exotic Genetix.
