How to grow Maya Gold
Seb's take
Three continents of sativa lineage stack up here — Malawi Gold and Early Pearl behind Early Gold, then crossed again with Power Sativa's African stock. The result is stable, mould-resistant and built for colder, northern summers rather than the tropics she descends from. Outdoor only — her height rules out anything under a roof.
Where it comes from
Three continents of sativa lineage stack up here. Malawi Gold from Africa and Early Pearl from California sit behind Early Gold, which was then crossed again with Power Sativa — itself an Early Sativa and Power Haze line of African heritage. Sumo Seeds pulled the lot into a stable, mould-resistant plant built for colder, northern summers rather than the tropics it descends from. A well-travelled pedigree tamed for grey skies.
Nose & flavour
The record does not detail the nose, so I will not put one there for it. The name points to the character her makers were after — your own gold buds, as they have it — grown from stock chosen for stability and resistance rather than any single aroma. What she offers on that front, she keeps to herself on paper.
The high
No effect notes are logged, so the shape is best read from the genetics: an 85 percent sativa of triple-continent descent, which points to a heady, upward experience rather than a sedating one. I will not claim more than the record supports. Expect the lift the lineage implies, and take her measure yourself.
Growing it
An outdoor plant, and firmly so — her extreme height rules out anything under a roof. She stands 200 to 250cm and yields a heavy 600 to 1000 g/m². Flowering time and a firm THC figure are not given, so I will not guess at them. She is very mould and disease resistant, and bred to finish in the more northern countries where summers run cold. Give her the open sky she needs and she asks for little else.
