"Cryptic lab’s Oaxacan Gold is a pure landrace cultivar originally from the Oaxaca region in Mexico. Oaxacan gold is somewhat of a long flowering pure sativa, it should mature in roughly 13 to 16 weeks but some phenotypes of this cultivar may want more time around 20 weeks flower. If you are a true pure sativa lover these long flowering plants are what you’re after, with their powerful psychedelic highs that go on for hours. Oaxacan gold has a great structure with a good amount of side branching that will fill out to a nice harvest, but it can become very tall for indoor growth, so proper measures are needed like pinching the terminal bud to keep this cultivar under control and promote more side growth. This line shouldn’t give you too much trouble like some wild Mexican cultivars. It has been selected and bred to itself many times to improve upon flowering times, structure, high and any other undesirable traits that would prevent you from getting many keepers in each pack. Oaxacan gold has a great sativa aroma from years gone by with its spicy citrus incense smell. Some may have more of a fruity smell like berries but either way you’re sure to find something special for your collection. Like plants of purple color, proper measures are needed to achieve the famed gold color in this variety. It’s best to grow in a balanced organic medium that is not too high in nitrogen. They will turn gold on their own at the end of flower. A proper cure of at least a few months will only help this process along and break down any leftover chlorophyll. There is always girdling the plant like what has been reported to be done by the farmers in Mexico but this can be tricky to perform and takes lots of practice to perfect. Lineage update: Cryptic, (Mystic) at least in the latest iteration, left a puzzle for growers. In Oaxacan gold you will now find-Oaxacan Pearl Stem, Oaxacan gold (a favorite of many) and the formerly concealed Red oaxacan. Story goes that those trying Red oax out for the first time tried to use cold showers as a come-down. Ymmv. Have fun! Do you find mistakes or wrong information? Or is there something you want to add?
