About
Pot of Gold is a 90 percent indica picked from 500 experimental lines.
Flying Dutchman crossed Hindu Kush with Skunk #1 for it. It took 2nd Place at the 2003 Cannabis Cup. The effect is lazy, euphoric and deeply relaxing. The nose is hash and sweet fruit.
One of 500, and it kept the name.
What to Expect
Pot of Gold is a lazy, euphoric body relaxation that slides toward sleep. Leafly's reviewers spread fairly evenly, with happy highest at 49 percent of a solid sample and euphoric, relaxed, sleepy and uplifted all in the low-to-mid forties. The weighted data ranks the deep relaxation and the euphoria highest.
Dry mouth and dry eyes lead the negatives at 31 and 22 percent, and the weighted data pushes dizziness up near 24. Sources warn it can bring on a headache. Keep the dose moderate.
Flavor and Aroma
Pot of Gold smells pungent and sweet with fruit, florals and a clear hash note. The flavor is earthier: woody and skunky with the same hashy depth. It is an old-world hash profile more than a fruity one.
Terpenes Explained
Pot of Gold's measured panel is led by Pinene, which swings widely from about 0.1 to 0.6 percent, with Myrcene and Caryophyllene behind and Limonene low.
Pinene leading is unusual for a hash-heavy indica; it adds a sharp, resinous edge to the smell. The wide range means some jars read piney and fresh, others more muted. A jar with a genuine sharp pine over the hash is the well-grown one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Pot of Gold THC is reported from about 15 to 21 percent, with the lab sample in our data corrupted and the reported range the guide. It is a moderate-to-strong indica. CBD is a trace.
Pot of Gold's sources put it in the high teens to low twenties, with no usable lab number of its own, so read the jar's test.
