indica-dominant strain

Himalaya Gold

Himalaya Gold by Semyanich combines Nepalese and northern Indian origins with an indica-dominant profile. Earthy and woody notes define the aroma. The photoperiodic plant is described as tall-growing and highly productive; however, specific height, yield and cannabinoid values come from only one breeder-related source.

Editorial profile

Himalaya Gold in detail

Origin & classification

Semyanich describes Himalaya Gold as a photoperiodic strain from Nepalese and northern Indian genetics. The ratio is given as 70 percent Indica to 30 percent Sativa. This lineage is not yet included in the structured fields, although it appears multiple times in the continuous source description. No further information on its development, selection generations or historical landrace origins is available and should therefore not be added.

Aroma & flavour

The aroma focuses on two clearly stated directions: wood and earth. The source describes both for the scent and the flavour. Fruity, sweet or spicy secondary notes are not mentioned, nor is a specific terpene profile. Based on the available description, Himalaya Gold therefore has a rather straightforward, nature-oriented aromatic profile that avoids speculative chemical classifications.

Terpene profile

For growth, the breeder-related source states a height of approximately 150 to 250 centimetres. This suggests a substantial plant structure, but should not be understood as a guaranteed final value. Location, pot size, vegetative period, training and phenotype have a significant impact on actual height. Indoor yields are advertised at up to 850 grams per square metre, and outdoor yields at up to 1,350 grams per plant. Such peak values are strongly dependent on conditions and should be regarded as manufacturer specifications for potential rather than typical harvests.

Effect tendency

For flowering, the dataset states eight to nine weeks, while the source also lists exactly 56 days. Eight weeks do correspond to 56 days, but this does not explain the additional ninth week. For a clear presentation, the broader range is therefore recommended until a second source confirms the period. No definitive outdoor harvest time is specified.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The cannabinoid values also come from the same single description: 16 percent THC and 1.4 percent CBD. They are absent from the structured fields and may also vary depending on the batch and phenotype. The source contains only the unspecific wording of a complex influence regarding effects; this does not support a reliable effect profile. Himalaya Gold is therefore best characterised by its documented Nepalese and northern Indian origins, indica-dominant profile, earthy-woody aroma and growth described as tall and highly productive.
