While 24K Gold is a cannabis strain with a lot to live up to, many have found this strain to be a gem among gems thanks to its ability to melt away stress. This zesty specimen draws smoothly, regardless of the medium through which it’s consumed. Focusing just as heavily on the head as the body, 24K Gold is a strain you won’t want to overlook for chill vibes and a heady buzz that is neither mentally disorienting nor physically incapacitating.
Strain: 60% Indica / 40% Sativa
This hybrid cannabis strain is an Indica-dominant example that combines enduring physical effects as well as a head change that could be easily mistaken for a Sativa-dominant strain. From the Dutch geneticists at DNA Genetics, this lab-produced cannabis strain is a combination of Tangie and Kosher Kush. 24K Gold is light enough to be mistaken for a Sativa while imparting the heavy body high characteristic of an Indica-dominant plant.
THC Content: Average 21% / Up to 24%
CBD Content: 0%
With a substantial potency that even experienced consumers should not underestimate, 24K Gold averages a THC content of 21%. However, some lab results have put it as high as 24%. For that reason, this strain is better suited for even use.
Fragrance: Citrus, Pine, Sweet
A strong aroma of sweet citrus has earned this strain the nickname of Kosher Tangie because its smell is considerably close to that of tangerines.
Flavors: Citrus, Tangerine, Sweet
Again, the flavor of 24K Gold brings sweet citrus to the forefront, though there are earthy and even piney notes that make their way onto the scene of every session.
Most Common Uses: Anxiety Relief, Stress Relief, Sleep Aide
The effects of 24K Gold often include a heady buzz uncharacteristic of an Indic-dominant hybrid. It also excels at imparting a sense of relaxation as well as creativity. While it’s a bit of a curveball in terms of how its genetics are represented in effects, 24K Gold can reliably alleviate the symptoms associated with depression, stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
Side Effects: Dry Eyes, Dry Mouth
24K Gold is relatively mild when it comes to the side effects users have reported. A common example would include cottonmouth. So, be sure to stay hydrated with this strain. Dry Eyes are also reported less often and remedied with ample fluid intake.
Growing:
DNA Genetics, the Dutch developer of this particular strain, has made its seeds available online. That means just about any amateur to professional grower can get their hands on the materials needed to bring this variety into their operation.
Rumored to be a temperamental strain to grow, 24K is not an ideal starter for new growers. The strain required semi-arid conditions and consistent daylight, which can be tough to replicate outdoors. Even indoor scenarios can prove troublesome without the proper controls in place to give this strain the attention and environment it demands.
24K is also on the tall side of an Indica-dominant cannabis strain, which makes space in general an issue. However, if your growing operation can handle the headroom and offer the ideal conditions, these plants will yield moderately after a 10-week flowering period.
24K Gold is a solid choice for anyone looking to enjoy an Indica-dominant strain that doesn’t leave you incapacitated.
While the average THC content is at a respectable 21%, it can push the upper levels at 24%. That extra 3% can be a considerable difference to the inexperienced smoker. So, at least be sure to trial the strain in an easy session in the evening to ensure there are no pressings matters to attend to in the event you are taken over by its potency.
While this strain is an Indica-dominant variety, its effects mimic that of a Sativa-dominant hybrid. That’s not to say it doesn’t come with some strong body effect, only that it has an unusually strong set of qualities associated with mental faculties. These include the ability to relieve stress and anxiety as well as impart a bit of energetic creativity, which is always welcome in our book.
The physical traits of the strain are rather impressive, while we did not detail it in the above profile, the buds themselves are quite beautiful to behold. The smells and flavors are also unique and worthy of the nickname Kosher Tangie with an eruption of sweet citrus on the nose and tongue.
The fact this strain is regarded as a temperamental variety makes it poorly suited for new growers. So, it’s best to steer clear if you haven’t got the gear or experience to let this strain shine in the right conditions.
