1 Mother plant and 3 clones from the original mother they all grew well after some topping and training. Acapulco Gold was a pleasure to grow, it developed well throughout all the stages of growth a lot of trics appeared with solid dense buds that gave me a satifactory yield. The approximate dry weight was about 228 grams about 8oz from the mother, but i did take some preharvest so this is a ball park figure that is probably way off, i was a bit late in getting the full weight and some i harvested later so i lost track, apologies if your looking for an accurate final weight report.
@Tonino, Yeah even Chich & Chong liked it, its an old school 60's strain i think, not sure how close it is to its original genetics tho, but looking forward to toking it regardless, as C&C once said... "Acapulco Gold is... badass weed"
I'm growing the same, so I'd like to follow along. I was hoping for the narrow leaf phenotype, but I'm pretty sure my first seed is a broad leaf. I have 7 more to try after this one.
@CRiSPrGrow, Not me dude, i'm still at home in my crappy suburban ghetto, wish i was on a plane ) it's a tracking update on my new seed strain 'Alaskan Thunder Fuck', fingers crossed they get through customs asap. The idea of being on a plane with a smart automated garden and leisurely updating GD is pretty awesome tho. One day bro)
@MovingOn, hey Doc, it's Golden Virginia Tobacco, tobacco is really expensive here in the UK so i figured i would now grow my own, so i can roll a joint and smoke it ol' school style in a big spliff. Leaves have to turn yellow before harvest, they are coming into flower now but they can get very tall, it's why i have them in small pots to keep them stunted. I've also topped one as it hit the light.
@MovingOn, Good choice) as far as i can see imo they are the best quality LEDs around for the price, I've previously used HPS and CFLs but these out perform them all.
@MovingOn, hey Doc, yes spot on, i've got her under 600w LED in veg mode for now, she seems to like it. I had her under a Mars 300w but the lighting was poor, then a 400w HPS for a couple of days but the temperature rocketed to 32C, and i was struggling to get it down so i purchased another Viparspectra as they seem pretty good, trialed it out on the OG Kush and it went well and i can manage the temps a lot easier, around 22C without much trouble.
@MicrowGrow420, I'm a part time cannabis pimp. I love to play with breeding. I can always get bloodline from feminized seed but regular is more flexible. But Feminized is more productive if it's done right. So do I prefer regular seeds? Only for breeding purposes. It's a little more work to grow, but the males disappear early enough in the process. And I don't have to worry about Hermies. But for smoking pleasure of growing a single plant for smoking Variety nothing replaces growing an odd strain to break thing up a bit, Feminized is best for this.
@SativaKid, Interesting... I've always gone for feminised for reliability but i had a couple hermi on me recently, i believe they produce a smaller yeild too. Do you prefer regular seeds?
Looks good. Better than mine was at the end of week 2 as well. Mine was a little stunted out of the gate because it breached hard out of its jiffy pod. Those pods get so tight on the seeds and roots that I'm not going to use them on the next round.
@MovingOn, tx bro. Yes jiffys are a bit hit and miss i don't really trust them with seeds but i do use them to clone, usually so i know they have rooted as its easy to see a root pop out then you know its took well. This grow is going to be a long one me thinks)
OMG the penny has just dropped that it may be around new year we both harvest. going off 1 month+ for veg through OCTOBER, 10wks flower NOV DEC to JAN 2019 harvest time. geeez.
@MovingOn, tx Doc, yah space is tight, i have another smaller tent that i may have to fire up so i can make some space for the AG clones. She is getting quite a bush on her, although i do like a big bush 😬
@MovingOn, At a crossroads bro, not sure which way to progress with her, if i top her i have to do it now but she looks so lovely i'm enjoying her ephemeral natural beauty but i guess i'm going to have to go to town on her with some bondage.
