Kosher Kush × Tangie
24K Gold, also known as Kosher Tangie, is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by DNA Genetics. It is a cross between the award-winning Kosher Kush and Tangie strains, designed to offer a potent experience with a distinct citrus and kush profile. This cultivar is recognized for its resinous buds and appealing bag appeal.
Appearance
24K Gold buds are typically medium to large, featuring a dense, spear-like structure inherited from its OG Kush lineage. The flowers are heavily coated in shimmering trichomes, giving them a gilded appearance. Pistils are often vibrant orange, contrasting with lime to forest green coloration, with occasional purple hues appearing on sugar leaves under cooler temperatures. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, making for easier trimming and enhancing the visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of 24K Gold is dominated by bright citrus notes, reminiscent of freshly peeled tangerine and sweet orange, layered over earthy kush undertones. Secondary notes of pine resin and a subtle peppery spice can also be detected. Upon grinding, the scent intensifies, releasing a potent bouquet that can fill a room. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, opening with sweet and tart orange, often compared to orange soda or candied peel. A kushy backbone with herbal and mild diesel tones emerges mid-palate, followed by a citrus zest and mild pepper spice on the exhale. Mouthfeel is generally smooth.
Effects
24K Gold is known for delivering potent effects that are often described as uplifting and happy, balanced by a relaxing physical sensation. The initial experience can be cerebral and energetic, promoting a euphoric mood without significant sedation. As the effects progress, a sense of physical relaxation may set in, making it suitable for users seeking euphoria alongside physical comfort. Its balanced profile makes it a popular choice for daytime or evening use, depending on individual tolerance.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid and terpene percentages can vary, 24K Gold typically tests at high THC levels, often around 26%, with minimal CBD content (<1%). Key terpenes contributing to its profile include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. Limonene is responsible for the prominent citrus and orange notes, while Caryophyllene adds a spicy, peppery element, and Myrcene contributes earthy undertones. This combination creates its characteristic aroma and flavor complexity.
Origins & Lineage
24K Gold, also known as Kosher Tangie, was bred by DNA Genetics. It is a first-generation hybrid resulting from the cross of two highly regarded strains from the 2010s: Kosher Kush and Tangie. Kosher Kush contributes its dense structure, heavy resin production, and sedative qualities, while Tangie brings vibrant citrus aromas, an uplifting mood boost, and vigorous growth. This lineage combines the best traits of both award-winning parents.
Growing
24K Gold is known for its vigorous growth, inheriting traits from both parent strains. It exhibits strong apical dominance and a tendency to stretch during early flowering, particularly from its Tangie heritage. Growers often recommend training and canopy management to optimize yield potential. The plant produces resinous buds, making it favorable for extraction purposes. Flowering time is typical for indica-dominant hybrids, and yields can be substantial when grown properly, with dense, aromatic flowers.
