Golden Hour

Golden Hour is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 23-29% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Golden Hour high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Golden Hour a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect berry and diesel up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a berry-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, rust-colored hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Golden Hour offers a demanding plant best left to experienced growers — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Hour family — see 3 Hour Tour and Happy Hour for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
