Kerala Gold
Also known as: Kerala Gold
What is the Kerala Gold strain?
Kerala Gold is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Kerala Gold is an old-school equatorial landrace sativa from Kerala at the western ghats of India near the Malabar coast. It is said to have branched out from Idukki Gold, a pure equatorial marijuana landrace now extinct. Kerala is situated in the far south along the Malabar coast and sees little to no change in daytime light duration, as it is only about 9 degrees North from the equator. This ancient cultivar represents one of the foundational genetics that played a crucial role in developing modern hybrids like Haze and White Widow. Kerala Gold buds have dense conical emerald green nugs with bright undertones, thin light orange hairs and chunky golden-white crystal trichomes. The calyxes swell towards the very end of flowering and give off a yellowish/golden tint, which comes from the mainly amber trichome heads and ample coverage of unusually long dried stigmas wrapped around it.

How do you grow Kerala Gold?
Kerala Gold flowers 16-20 weeks with moderate to high yields and shows great resistance to mold, powdery mildew, and pests in general. Even when grown outside of its natural habitat (at latitudes as high as 43°N), Kerala Gold thrives and flowers properly within 16-20 weeks. This variety is a very long flowering tropical sativa type and is not for beginners. It is best grown outdoors but can be grown indoors with proper training and 14 hours of dark right from the start. The plants are vigorous and have a tall, classical, equatorial Sativa structure. The first 5-7 weeks of flowering is spent in stretching and creating internodal space for flower bracts. These are perfect for coastal climates or places with wet humid rain-forest like climate, as they can bear strong coastal winds, with zero mold or mildew.
