What is the Pot of Gold strain?
Pot of Gold is a indica cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Pot of Gold is an award-winning indica-dominant cannabis strain created by Flying Dutchmen Seeds in 1985. This strain is a cross between Hindu Kush and Skunk #1, combining pure Indica Hindu Kush mother genetics with Skunk #1 father genetics. After winning the High Times Cup in 1998 and winning 2nd prize at the 2003 Cannabis Cup, the popularity of this indica-leaning hybrid strain soared. Pot of Gold is recognized as mostly indica from Flying Dutchmen with an approximately 90% indica and 10% sativa genetic composition.
The strain produces compact plants that produce massive yields with cured buds covered with a visible coating of trichomes amid slightly orange pistils that almost give it a golden hue that supports its naming. Requiring between eight and ten weeks to finish flowering, Pot of Gold can be grown outdoors but its three foot height makes it perfect for an indoor setup. The strain has become legendary among cannabis connoisseurs for producing massive yields of very sticky buds that are hard to break up by hand.
