White Gold: Striking Gold
The highly dense green leaves and buds that these seeds produce are absolutely covered in thick resin making it one of the sticker plants on the planet. This strain showcases an impressive display of nearly white blossoms. These flowers, rich in glucosinolates, act as a natural garden pest and insect repellent, crucial for maintaining a healthy and vibrant garden. When clipped, dried and harvested you are left with thick nuggets that are almost exclusively amber in color. Breaking these nuggets apart releases that unique aroma best described as a pungent blend of diesel and skunk. While White Gold hasn’t won any major awards it has been successful in the awards game by proxy as White Widow has taken home major awards in multiple categories. Growers and users have cosigned on this strain making it more and more popular as one of the world’s most up and coming cannabis plants.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
White Gold plants prefer a warm, sunny and dry setting to really flourish. Outdoor growers should note that while this strain is easy to grow it does need the correct climate to get from germination to harvest. Dialing in your temperature, humidity and lighting can make or break your grow. Giving ample space in both indoor and outdoor grows will be the difference between harvesting larger yields and losing most of your plant do to the fact that it can’t grow freely. Keep in mind that White Gold requires less flowering time than most strains so your grow window doesn’t need to be months long to get to your harvest.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: White Gold plants can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The strain can be successfully grown in either setting. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. During the vegetative stage your White Gold plants will need 18-24 hours of light daily. Dial that back to 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness through the flowering stage.
- Moisture control: Relative humidity levels should be approximately 60-75% during the vegetative phase and around 40-50% during the flowering phase. Lowering the humidity will help prevent mold on your buds.
- Training Techniques: Strategies like pruning, topping, and low stress training (LST) wil help control plant height and width while also creating an even canopy allowing light to get to all levels of the plant from top to bottom.

Dominant Terpenes in White Gold: As Good As Gold
The White Gold terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene are the secondary terpenes.
- Myrcene: Most Dominant – When found in cannabis plants can produce anti-inflammatory and sedative effects on the user.
- Pinene: Secondary Terpene– Naturally found in pine needles it helps to give cannabis its piney, earthy aroma and flavor.
- Caryophyllene: Peppery and Spicy – Found in rosemary and clove oil, caryophyllene is known as the “peppery” terpene.
Dominant Cannabinoids in White Gold:
Cannabinoids play an important role in White Gold seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That relaxed, happy, and uplifted feeling you get when enjoying the White Gold strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out around 25%, the THC in the Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when using White Gold.
- CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in White Gold are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.
