Golden Goat

Golden Goat, a sativa-dominant hybrid medical marijuana strain (65% sativa, 35% indica), boasts a THC content ranging from 16% to 23%, minimal CBD, and approximately 1% CBG. Recognized for its energetic and uplifting effects, it originated in Topeka, Kansas, when a female Island Sweet Skunk accidentally crossbred with a nearby Hawaiian/Romulan hybrid. This resulted in a potent strain with tropical fruit and citrus flavors, coupled with an earthy, spicy aroma, creating a unique sweet and sour profile.

Named for its "golden glow" at harvest and the peculiar scent reminiscent of "golden goat recycling machines," Golden Goat's effects blend sativa's energy with indica's relaxation. Golden Goat's reported effects include creativity, elevated mood, energy, talkativeness, and upliftment. Medicinally, it may aid conditions like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis holds numerous anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds effective against stress, diminishing cortisol production and addressing anxiety and panic disorders.

Depression

In the case of depression, cannabinoids like CBD play a role in modulating serotonin transmission, providing both anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

For various pain types, including chronic pain and muscle pain, cannabis incorporates anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds like THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene, offering relief or distraction from pain.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

THC and CBD engage with the endocannabinoid system to alleviate some of the associated symptoms, providing relief from pain and other challenges associated with CFS.

Dosing

With low to moderate doses, you can achieve optimal stress, anxiety, and depression management with ease. Higher doses of this cultivar may induce panic, paranoia, and hinder sleep. For those with conditions that cause chronic pain, higher doses of THC may be required. Although quite low, CBD and CBG content may also help reduce inflammation.

Growing

Growing Golden Goat presents options for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, but its intricate nature may challenge beginners. This clone-only strain lacks seeds, requiring a cutting from a mature female plant for propagation. Given its sativa dominance, Golden Goat boasts a height exceeding 6 feet, favoring an outdoor setting where it can stretch its leaves freely.

Height

Golden Goat plants can reach up to 78 inches tall or well over 6 feet. This is why they suit an outdoor environment or an ample indoor grow space.

Humidity and Temperature

Golden Goat distinguishes itself by thriving in a dry climate rather than a humid one, showcasing its preference for conditions with an ideal temperature range of 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Outdoor cultivation in a warm and dry climate is particularly favored. When opting for indoor growth, it's essential to replicate this environment within your indoor grow space.

Flowering

Like many medical sativa strains, growing time can be long. If grown indoors, Golden Goat will be ready to harvest in nine to 11 weeks or in late October if grown outdoors.
