How to grow La Blanca Gold
Taste
Seb's take
A sativa-leaning cross of Super Skunk, Great White and Skunk #1, tall and branchy with crystal-heavy buds the breeders call white gold — give her the headroom. The nose is pungent and skunky, resistant to humidity and mould, and she is remarkably unfussy about where she's grown for something so richly named.
Where it comes from
Vision Seeds assembled this from Super Skunk, Great White and Skunk #1, taking the best of each: a monstrous THC figure, a pungent skunky smell, and a genuine resistance to humidity and mould. The record files her as 80 percent indica while describing sativa-leaning behaviour, so the paperwork and the plant disagree slightly, as they sometimes do. Either way, it is a Skunk-heavy line built for potency and toughness, richly named and, for all that, remarkably unfussy about where it ends up.
Nose & flavour
Pungent and skunky, no apology offered. The triple-Skunk parentage sees to that, and the buds carry it on heavy crystal, the pale, frosted colour the breeders call white gold. It is a loud, resinous aroma, the sort that fills a room and lingers in a coat. Handsome to look at, forthright to smell, and entirely disinclined to keep its presence to itself.
The high
The record gives no effects list, so I will keep to what it does say: a powerful character with a psychedelic edge to it, in keeping with the potency the breeders were chasing. Beyond that I would rather not guess at particulars the record does not supply. Treat a plant described this way with a measure of respect, and let your first session be a short one.
Growing it
Branchy, with heavy crystal-covered colas, standing around 70cm by the recorded figure. Flowering runs 63 days, and she returns 450 g/m². THC sits at 21 percent, firmly strong. Her real virtue is temperament: notably resistant to humidity and mould, and by the record's account not a capricious type at all, thriving across many environments. That makes her forgiving of a grower still learning the room. Feed her, watch the smell, and she asks little else in return for a frosted, pungent crop.
