Pot of Gold is a modern hybrid-indica variety derived from Skunk No. 1. Developed for cultivators seeking a productive harvest, this strain is considered a moderate challenge to grow in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from these plants, which reach maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Pot of Gold is defined by a primary concentration of pinene, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, limonene, and linalool. These dominant compounds are further rounded out by the presence of humulene and terpinolene. This specific terpene arrangement creates a distinct sensory experience that reflects the structural complexity of its Skunk No. 1 heritage.
THC-dominant in its cannabinoid composition with 16.1% THC and 0% CBD, Pot of Gold provides users with a profile of effects characterized by feelings of relaxation and focus. These properties make the strain a functional choice for addressing pain, stress, and sleep concerns. Its genetic influence is evident in several notable offspring, including Champagne Kush, King Kush, Golden Pie, and TasteBud OG.
