Growing Tips for Our Seeds
The Columbian Gold Auto strain is easy to grow for first time growers and performs just as well indoors as it does outdoors. The climate requirements of this cannabis strain are actually pretty straightforward. Since its origin is in the Santa Marta mountains in Columbia, an arid setting, its plants will do well in warm and dry environments. The plants are tall and slender so they will need headroom to grow to harvest. They won’t take up too much lateral space in a garden, greenhouse or even grow tent. When grown to completion you will get deep green and purple leaves with buds that are almost as orange as they are green. For growing outdoors, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil to dial in the perfect conditions for this fun to grow strain.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Columbian Gold plants will become big and strong in a warm and dry climate. Ideal growing conditions for CG plants require a temperature range from 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Dialing in your lighting can be the make or break with this strain. During the vegetative phase the plants will need between 18-20 hours of direct light. As an autoflower, Columbian Gold is not reliant on changes to its light cycle for it to successfully transition from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage.
- Moisture control: The humidity needed to grow the Columbian Gold strain is ideally, around 50-60% during the vegetative stage. Gradually drop the humidity to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold and bud rot.
- Training Techniques: Columbian Gold plants can be trained using Topping, and Low-Stress Training techniques. Each of these techniques will require some trimming and pruning on your part. Each promotes lateral branching rather than vertical growth. Each technique will also help light reach every inch of the plant including the buds at the very bottom.
The Germination Game Plan
Before you even plant your Columbian Gold female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.
Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest
- Flowering Time: With an indoor grow you can expect the CG strain to harvest after its flowering stage of 80-90 days. If you planted outside, it should be ready for the picking in the last weeks of November. These cycles are longer than your average strain, so patience is key to a successful grow.
- Yields: Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, while outdoor grows typically produce over 550 grams per plant. Given the longer than average grow time, these yields are ideal for this plant. Also, you have to take into consideration the high THC content when dealing with this grow cycle.
Dominant Terpenes in Columbian Gold: Striking Gold
The Columbian Gold terpene profile is directly responsible for how this plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is Terpinolene while myrcene and caryophyllene are in the background contributing to the taste and how it affects the user.
- Myrcene: Most Dominant- Contributes to the relaxing feel at the backend of the initial high. Responsible for the musky, earthy aroma.
- Caryophyllene: Peppery Aroma – The Caryophyllene in CG binds to the body’s CB2 receptors, amplifying the therapeutic effects of the cannabinoid.
- Limonene: Citrusy Scent and Taste – Limonene is linked to energy boosting, cheerful and uplifting high.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Columbian Gold:
Cannabinoids, although in the background, play an important role in Columbian Gold and are generally a huge part in the makeup of cannabis. That creative, energetic and even euphoric feeling you get when using Columbian Gold is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of Columbian Gold. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at an above average 22%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant hybrid is responsible for how this strain makes users feel.
- CBD: Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Columbian Gold are slightly less than 1% it still plays a significant role in what the strain does to the user. CBD, even in the smaller doses featured in CG can help with its physical effects like body aches and sleep issues as well as appetite.

I had a tracking issue with my local post office. CSR Sarah was a hero and stayed on the line until we found the package. Amazing company support!

These are going to make the best bubble hash. The trichomes are huge and cover the entire bud. Simply greasy and sticky!

I topped them at the 4th node and they didn’t even pause. Within two days, the two new heads were already growing. Very vigorous.

The blog posts on the site were like having a mentor. I learned so much about sativa-leaning autos. My grow was perfect.

The deep green color is just beautiful under the full-spectrum LEDs. No bleaching or light sensitivity at all in my tent.

These girls love their nitrogen! Stayed lush and green throughout the entire cycle with no yellowing. Very healthy metabolism.

They handle a higher EC than I expected for a sativa auto. I pushed the bloom boosters and they just packed on more weight.

No issues with powdery mildew even in my cooler basement setup. These plants are built for resilience and high vitality.
