Strain Specifications
Specs and grow figures are a guide — results vary with phenotype, setup and grower. Checked October 2026.
Gold Leaf is an indica-dominant feminized hybrid, 60% indica and 40% sativa, with an earthy, piney nose and a diesel edge. Robert Bergman of ILGM (I Love Growing Marijuana) bred it, and ILGM lists THC at up to 21%. It takes its name from its dense, golden-yellow haired buds. It is a moderate grow that flowers in about 8 to 9 weeks indoors, and ILGM says it does best outdoors.
History & lineage
Gold Leaf is Robert Bergman’s own strain. ILGM says he combined multiple plants to produce a tall, sativa-style plant with the indica traits users love, settling on 60% indica and 40% sativa. ILGM doesn’t publish the parents, and Leafly lists its origin as unknown, so any parentage story you see online is a guess rather than the breeder’s word.
The name comes from the plant itself. ILGM says the sativa heritage behind its height drives long, swollen colas, and those colas produce the densely golden-yellow haired buds the strain is named for. Leafly describes the nugs as small and round, with amber and dark green shades covered in trichomes. One Leafly reviewer who grew it from ILGM seed calls it “Rob’s own strain”.
Aroma & flavour
Expect an earthy-sweet scent that turns to fresh pine, as ILGM describes it, with earthy diesel and tar notes under a sweet finish. Leafly calls its flavours spicy and citrus. Leafly’s lab data lists myrcene as the most abundant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene; our guide to cannabis terpenes says more about what each one adds.
Effects, as users report them
Those are Leafly users’ reports for Gold Leaf as a strain, most common first, from only 20 reviews, a small sample. ILGM describes a near-instant lift in mood, uplifted, happy and relaxed, that turns creative. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the downsides reported, and ILGM adds slight paranoia at large doses. Leafly notes that it hits hard right away and that too much can leave you locked into the sofa, so a little goes a long way. Effects vary with the person and the dose; if you are new to cannabis, start low.
Growing Gold Leaf
Gold Leaf is a feminized photoperiod plant: it keeps growing leaves until the light drops to 12 hours a day indoors, or until the days shorten in late summer outdoors. ILGM gives 8 to 9 weeks of flowering indoors, 54 to 63 days. Our seed-to-harvest timeline shows how that fits a whole grow.
ILGM rates it intermediate and says it is best grown outdoors, where a beginner can manage an easy summer grow and plants can reach well over 7 feet (about 2.1 m). Indoors it takes a little extra work, with cropping and pruning, and ILGM suggests a height-reducing method such as a screen of green (SCROG). Expect around 550–600 g/m² (about 1.8–2.0 oz/ft²) indoors under controlled conditions, and roughly 450–650 g (about 16–23 oz) per plant outdoors. ILGM lists it for continental and Mediterranean climates with plenty of sun. Near the end, use the trichomes to judge when to harvest.

Easygoing Daytime Smoke
Gold Leaf grew tall and smooth with long buds and a sweet, slightly herbal smell. Smoke was super easy on the lungs. The high is clear and upbeat without feeling racy. Great for daytime, getting stuff done, or just staying in a good mood.
Great Genetics!
Every seed popped, the plants were all very similar.The smoke is great as well. From start to finish this strain hits all the marks
