You will learn about the properties and medicinal potentials this variety offers and how it is grown and consumed.
The origin of Pamir Gold
The Pamir Gold variety originated in the mountainous region known as the Pamirs, which lies between Nepal and northern India. This area is known for its rich history of cultivation and traditional use of cannabis. The Pamirs are considered to be one of the main centres of cannabis cultivation in this part of the world.
The Pamirs are located in and around the high mountain range of the Hindu Kush. This mountainous area is characterised by a favourable climate for cannabis cultivation. It has mild and sunny summers, with relatively cool nights and low humidity. This combination of factors creates ideal conditions for the growth and development of cannabis plants.
The local inhabitants of the Pamirs have been cultivating cannabis for various purposes for centuries. Cannabis has a long tradition in medicine, religious ceremonies and as part of the local culture. Farmers in the area have acquired the knowledge and skills to grow and breed cannabis to achieve excellent results.
Pamir Gold is the result of breeding and selecting the best cannabis plants from the area. The genetic material for this strain has been carefully selected from local growers who have mastered the traditional techniques and knowledge of growing cannabis in the area. This gives Pamir Gold its unique characteristics and adaptation to the specific conditions of the Pamir region.

Pamir Gold is a unique and exclusive cannabis variety that requires proper care and cultivation techniques to achieve optimal growth and yield. The following guidelines will help you to grow this variety successfully.
Choosing the environment and growing location:
- Pamir Gold is an adaptable variety that can be grown outdoors or indoors. When growing outdoors, it is important to choose a location with sufficient sunlight and protection from strong winds. Growing indoors requires sufficient light, a suitable environment and good airflow.
Soil preparation:
- Thrives in well-drained soil with a neutral pH. It is important to prepare the nutrient-richsoil before planting. Good drainage can be achieved by using a well-drained substrate or by adding organic material such as compost. Before planting, it is advisable to test the soil to determine its pH and nutrient content.
Planting seeds or stems:
- Before planting, it is advisable to let the seeds or stems germinate or soak them in water to stimulate the germination process. They can then be placed in prepared holes in the soil or containers that are deep enough for root growth.
Watering and moisture:
- Pamir Gold prefers slightly dry soil between waterings. It is important to maintain optimum soil moisture to avoid waterlogging or drying out the roots. The appropriate frequency and amount of watering may vary depending on the growth stage of the plant and the surrounding conditions.
Fertilisation:
- It is important to supply sufficient nutrients to plants for healthy growth and nutritious plants. The use of organic fertilisers or special fertilisers for cannabis can be beneficial. We recommend following the instructions on the fertiliser packaging and the recommended dosage.
Cutting and shaping plants:
- Regular cutting and shaping of plants can help maintain proper structure and promote healthy growth. Removing lower branches and leaves helps increase the flow of air and sunlight to the base of the plant. Top pruning can also be done to encourage abundant side branching.
Pest and disease control:
- Regular prevention of plants, pests and diseases is important. The use of organic repellents or pesticides can help minimize the harmful effects of pests and protect plants.
Harvesting:
- Pamir Gold isharvested when the flowers reach optimum maturity. Maturity is usually indicated by a change in flower colour and resin density. Harvesting can be done gradually, by cutting off the mature tops or by removing the plants altogether.
Drying and preservation:
- After harvesting, it is important to dry the flowers properly to preserve and maintain their quality. After thorough drying, the flowers can be stored in airtight glass or plastic containers for preservation.
