Always wanted to grow this strain for its Sativa genetics. Started germination with the paper towel method with 3% H202. Germinated in darkened propagation tray with temp at 23C, 99% humidity. Took 4 days to break soil when transplanted to airpot in BioBizz lite. Now in the propagation tent under 50w LED until ready for the 600w grow tent. https://www.barneysfarm.com/acapulco-gold-26

Some new growth late in wk2, she has got a few more leaves so good progress, just feeding her 'root juice' for now until she establishes herself a little more, will be cloning this plant hopefully to get a few more ladies off her. Now under 600w LED in veg mode. Lighting cycle 18/6. 6/10 Update: Slightly pale leaves so appears she is ready for her first N feed, gave her a lite application of Biobizz Grow, silica, drop of superthrive and maxicrop.

She is vegging well under the 600w, will be topping and training her in the next day or so, i'll give her a water and let her settle in before stressing her too much with the lst. 23/10 Topped, it was hard to do on this lovely lady but she will get too tall for my tent so i had to do it. She seemed to recover well after the topping, so all good so far. 24/10 Sprayed her with Plant Magic Evolution last night, lights out folia spray. Usually once a week in veg. Watch me Cloning in the video clip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acapulco_Gold 👈 velly interesting.

Recovered from the topping developed a few more nodes, tying her down as soon as she grows each node.

Been a bit rough on her this week, defoliated and tied her down, took some cuttings from her to clone, she has grown long fast, the 20ltr fabric pots seem a bit narrow for her. 5/11 24 hrs after defoliation and lst she has recuperated and looks like she is ready for some more growth.

Getting close to switching her over to flower, she seems to be vegging well, fair few bud sites to watch develop, i also took some AG clones that are looking promising. The strain seems pretty hardy.

AG in the 2nd week of 12/12, just starting to flower. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is at the left back, the rest of the grow is Acapulco Gold and her clones. In my other veg tent are some more AG clones and a Girl Scout Cookie Auto, you can see pics of their development in my concurrent diaries.

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.
