Oldschool vibes and fizzy drinks: Acapulco Gold and Mimosa evo

Welcome to my first run of 2025 wohooo! 😁✌️Since my last run was on the heavy side, my stash will soon be filled with really strong and dank flower. Which will help me in getting through the grey winter months. So this run will define my stash for spring and a big part of the summer 2025. For the sunny and warmer months i like to have some lighter, citrusy tastes and more of a cerebral high. Thats why i decided to go with Acapulco Gold from Barneys farm. I wanted to run AG since forever because i love oldschool strains which are still potent enough to give me a nice buzz. And because i had no other strain which matches the flowertime of Acapulco Gold, i popped some Mimosa evo beans alongside them. So this time it'll be a double barneys grow. The AG beans are really old, they are from 2016 (never order on that site again). I'll pop all 5 of them and hope that at least three will germinate. 🍊 MIMOSA EVO (CannaConnection.com) 🍊 Genetics: Indica-dominant (60%) Parents: Purple Punch x Mimosa THC: 25% CBD: Low Smell & flavour: Berry, Citrus, Lemon, Orange Effect: Happy, Uplifting Mimosa Evo: A Hard-Hitting, Fruity Variety Mimosa Evo is a powerful cannabis strain known for its long-lasting, electrifying euphoric effect. With 24% THC (sometimes a little more), it's a high-potency strain best reserved for experienced users or those capable of surrendering to her almost psychedelic buzz. Despite her potential to grow tall outdoors, Mimosa Evo is a manageable plant that can easily be tamed to grow shorter in tents or rooms with limited space. Her genetic background (Purple Punch and Mimosa) give Mimosa Evo very stable characteristics, while her rich combination of terpenes results in a luxurious, tangy aroma of citrus fruit. Aroma, Flavour, and Effect of Mimosa Evo: Strap Yourself in for a Wild Ride Countless strain descriptions mention the word "euphoria". Indeed, many cannabis strains produce an uplifted, elevated, and euphoric state of mind. Mimosa Evo, however, goes far beyond that, producing a truly invigorating high. While experienced users with a high THC tolerance might cherish these effects, it's worth noting that Mimosa Evo can easily overwhelm the not-so-seasoned smoker. Reminiscent of her parent strains, Mimosa Evo has a strong, refreshing citrus aroma and a sweet, citrusy flavour with hints of berries. [...] I chose the Mimosa evo, because i really love purple punch and the combination with Clementine seemed like a tasty combo. And a high which is described as "active and euphoric" sounds like a perfect match for the long, hot and sunny days in summer. 🌞 ACAPULCO GOLD 🌞 (CannaConnection.com) Parents: Landrace from Mexico THC: Medium CBD: Low Smell & flavour: Sweet, Musky, Earthy, Spicy Effects: Energetic, Alert, Uplifting, Cerebral [...] Flowing over the Mexico–US border in the 1960s and 1970s, Acapulco Gold became an instant favourite among hippies and other members of the counterculture. Today, Acapulco Gold is a lot scarcer, though it occasionally finds its way onto dispensary shelves. When it does, it usually doesn’t last very long, as its legendary status and scarcity keep Acapulco Gold in very high demand among recreational and medical users alike. Legend has it that Acapulco Gold became so popular among students of Columbia University in the 1970s that some students organised a dedicated smuggling route from Acapulco to New York City. After rising to fame among smokers in the 60s and 70s, Acapulco Gold was listed by High Times as #5 on its 1977 Top 40 strain selection. Years later, in 2010, Acapulco Gold also won a High Times Cannabis Cup. Aroma and Flavour of Acapulco Gold: Sweetness and Spice Acapulco Gold has a complex and unique aroma and flavour profile that sets it apart from other strains. Its pungent scent is dominated by earthy overtones mixed with hints of spice, citrus, and rich toffee/honey-like sweetness. The strain's flavour is similar, with a sweet, earthy taste and a hint of spice. The terpene profile of Acapulco Gold is dominated by caryophyllene, a spicy terpene found in black pepper and other dark spices. Myrcene is another dominant terpene found in Acapulco Gold that may contribute to the musky, earthy aroma of the strain. Limonene is the third most prominent terpene in Acapulco Gold. With a fresh, vibrant citrus aroma, limonene likely contributes to Acapulco Gold’s light lemon aroma/flavour. [...] I always wanted to grow some Acapulco Gold, because its such a legendary strain i heard a lot about. I never have been able to get my hands on some, so i'll grow some myself. Its that easy 😁 I imagine it to be the perfect summer strain, when you see the world through sunglasses, wear shorts and have a cold drink on a searing hot day. Seems like a great daytime strain and i'm very hyped for this run. I just got a good feeling about this strain. It has a rich and cool history, seens to still be kind of "original", has a good potency and sounds delicious. Whats not to love about that? There is a certain vibe about the good old days and i'm so ready for that kind of stoner nostalgia! I want to run 5 plants max in my tent, but for now i hope for a minimum of 4 plants total. The Acapulco Gold seeds are so old, i hope they'll germinate! And If more than 5 seeds germinate, i'm gonna give them to a friend. But that would be luck! We'll see! Fingers crossed 😁 Have a nice weekend, thank you for checking in and happy growing! Much love, Herb💚
