Golden Hour is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain made from a genetic cross of Sunset Sherbet Bx1 x Blue Lotus. Like its namesake, Golden Hour has golden pistils crawling over deep, icy violet buds. It tastes both sweet and spicy, with an earthy aroma and a hint of Sherbet creaminess. Perfect for the end of day, Golden Hour imbues a mellow buzz best suited for couch chilling and deep conversations; medical patients who need help with nausea and multiple sclerosis may also benefit.
