Himalaya Gold Strain Overview
Himalaya Gold is a predominantly sativa cannabis strain developed by Greenhouse Seeds, known for its impressive size and potent effects. This strain was created by crossing a North Indian sativa with an Afghani indica, resulting in a plant that combines the cerebral effects of sativa genetics with the robust growing characteristics of indica varieties. The strain gets its name from its origins in the Himalayan region and the golden-yellow pistils that develop during flowering.
Himalaya Gold is characterized by its tall, stretching growth pattern typical of sativa-dominant strains, often reaching heights of 3-4 meters when grown outdoors. The plant produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright orange to golden pistils against green calyxes. The strain is known for its relatively long flowering period of 9-11 weeks but rewards growers with substantial yields. The aroma profile is complex, featuring earthy and spicy notes with hints of citrus and pine, reflecting its diverse genetic heritage from both high-altitude sativa and Afghan indica lineages.
