What is the Goldust strain?
Goldust is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
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.
