Information about Himalayan Gold:
How many people throughout history have explored the Himalayan region? Among those who did in modern times, some brought back what is tantamount to gold in the world of cannabis. It is because of those journeys that led to one strain that people can use for the ultimate relaxation.
As alluded to, Himalayan Gold traces its roots to two landrace strains – Nepalese and North Indian.
Nepalese is a Sativa strain. With regards to the plant structure, it definitely looks like one. But the effects it delivers is more like that of an Indica strain. North Indian, on the other hand, grows in the Kashmir region and is a pure Indica plant.
As expected, an offspring of these two strains will have a dominant Indica side.

While growers without experience can manage to cultivate the plant, they will still need to learn a few things. One is topping or pruning early, especially indoor. The best way to achieve a fast growth is to use hydroponics. Also, combining it with the Screen of Green training method should result in a higher yield.
