California Gold AAA

Description

Kk Formerly from the Golden State, this bud is a cross between two relatively rare strains: Jah OG Kush (who also has roots in California) X DS Gold.

Appearance & Aroma

California Gold’s flowers tend to be small to medium in size, sticking together in tight, almost spherical structures. The buds hold the dense formation one might expect of an Indica type, with its leaves curling inward near their central stems. The leaves are a brilliant shade of spring green and wind throughout with brown and orange pistils. Additionally, translucent amber trichomes cover these already-colourful buds, giving them the yellowish gleam the strain’s name suggests.

When correctly cured, California Gold has a predominantly earthy aroma accentuated by some grassy, vegetal tones. There are also light and delightful floral scents lurking underneath, brightening up the overall impact. Meanwhile, breaking up California Gold’s nuggets gives off the smell of rich and woodsy pine. When burnt in a joint or a pipe, the buds give off a smooth and easily palatable smoke. This smoke tastes lemony with some signs of dank earth on the exhale.

Ideas may jump around in loose association or turn themselves over and over in the consumer’s mind. This kind of cerebral shift can be an excellent way to improve productivity, whether the user is attempting to finish work-based responsibilities or power through dull, time-consuming errands.

This strain’s physical effects take hold in equivalent measure, first relaxing the facial muscles and then crushing any lingering tension in the core and limbs. These effects grow more pronounced as time passes, weighing down eyelids and inspiring consumers to consider lying down in the closest comfortable surroundings.

The strain can also take the pain out of minor irritations like headaches and indigestion.
