White Gold
White Gold
Also known as: Oro Blanco
Overview
White Gold is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain created through crossing White Widow with Himalayan Gold. With a THC content hovering around 25%, White Gold positions itself as a potent choice for users in pursuit of strong, psychoactive effects, typically ranging from 20-25% THC though it can reach as low as 16%. This strain combines the legendary genetics of its parents, inheriting White Widow's robust trichome production and cerebral effects with Himalayan Gold's mellow body high characteristics.
In terms of appearance, White Gold earns its name from its heavily frosted, almost white buds that are dense nuggets interspersed with amber and orange hairs, offering a striking contrast against the whitish hue of the trichomes. The buds are characterized by long and furry grape-shaped dark olive green nugs with dark purple leaves, dark amber hairs, and a super sticky coating of visible sweet resin. In common with many indica-heavy strains, the leaves and buds can take on a purple tone provided it's not too warm, and it's time to harvest when the buds are covered with a syrupy resin. The strain represents a showcase of cannabis breeding artistry, delivering both exceptional visual appeal and potent effects that have made it increasingly popular among cultivators and consumers seeking a balanced yet powerful cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Indoors, White Gold has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks, during which it produces yields of 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor growers can expect similar yields of 400-500 grams per plant, with the harvest time falling in mid-October. The feminized version of White Gold is relatively undemanding and delivers large yields, making it equally popular among commercial growers and novices alike. It is primarily a plant for indoor cultivation, but can also be grown outdoors in sunny and warm climates. The best results are achieved with a SOG (Sea of Green) or SCROG (Screen of Green), though the plants also flourish wonderfully in a conventional set-up or hydroponic system. Growing this strain outdoors could put you at risk due to the flowering phase emitting some of the strongest cannabis odors. The medium-sized plants result in average height gain during the flowering stage, generally taking seven to nine weeks to harvest.
