Strain Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
With a mixture of 60% indica and 40% sativa genetics in its lineage, Goldmember is technically an indica-dominant hybrid—but those high levels of sativa influence makes it an unusually enlivening experience for an indica.

THC Potency
With a 24% THC level, Goldmember packs a serious punch—so if you’re not an experienced user, start low and go slow with this tasty strain.

Budtender Reviews
It's okay I rather grab ice cream cake if it was out of those two cake strains it harsh but it gives a good high the smell is different from the last time I smoked it idk but the buds moisture really makes or breaks it when it's moist it wonderful but dry it give off divine kush breath taste which is more earthy
Most crosses with Gelato (for me) gives a nice sedating feeling, which is what I look for in strains. Could be more sedative though, as it is indica-leaning. I would like to feel that flat girl on the couch in those old 'Above the Influence' commercials.
its ok - for its strain i've had better
As a strain this flower is a nice gentle indica, not too strong. The ones I have gotten in the past have been on the drier side.
Heavier on the Indica, but as someone who primarily consumes Indica-based flower, its a must try.
Slightly above average visual appeal. The smell and strain profile are what help this particular strain move.
Not my style
The smell is always great. Most of the time the buzz is 10/10 but it can be a miss. Will always recommend Gelato Cake for myself or a customer for an indica hybrid.
Perfect Indica hybrid
Heavy indica with great gassy notes and as soon as you open the jar you feel like you are in heaven
Very much a sleep happy high. Very nice buds with a nice orangey tint

Budtender Reviews
it taste and smells like member berry but is not as potent very dry buds only reason it really sell is because it has a cookie name on it is what most customers I sell to say after coming back to our location and asking how was it I don't honestly like it and I only smoke flower
I like the smell/ taste of the flower, its leaves you feeling calm and relaxed. The buds have always grinded nicely and have a great color to them.
the bud itself is usually beautiful and the taste is great, the high can vary
I like the strong citrus notes that remind me of a sativa flavor but with an indica effect.
taste and high - good
Good terps
The buds always look nice and juicy with this strain. Gives a pretty decent even high, which is nice for a chill day.
This strain has a nice smell and the color is beautiful. Smoking it gives you a relaxed high, but not too relaxed to make you fall asleep. Definitely one of my top choices for Equinox flower!
Gassy, Pungent and slightly Floral- Very well done Hybrid, and the Color tones of the buds are always beautiful.
I keep this strain in stock at my house. I use it as my bedtime weed and if I wake up in the middle of the night it helps put me right back to sleep
The flavor is pretty good
sweet flavor and mellow high
The visual appeal of this strain is amazing. More often then not, customers hone in on BCC because of how it looks. Then you add the great smell of citrus and skunk and it is clear to see why this strain sells so quickly.
Such a great smoke with great sweetness on the inhale and then a gassy exhale. Very euphoric and heavy body high!
It kinda smells, most customers think it stinks, and it’s not too much of a buzz from it.
Although the terpene profile on this strain is rather unique compared to the rest of our genetics, the lack of curing process and overuse of certain nutrients and pesticides still shines through most of all. I would still say that this strain is one of the best that lightshade currently produces. However, if our house flower is ever going to truly compete with any of the better 3rd party brands we will need to re-evaluate our pesticide use and adjust nutrients to better suit our growing style. Overall 5.5/10.
