Kirsten 🧡 Acapulco Gold Auto 🧡 WeedSeedsExpress.
Hi y'all, welcome to another grow! 😊
This time, WeedSeedsExpress reached out and asked me to do some diaries.
I chose Acapulco Gold Auto as one strain, mighty sativa! I'm super excited to try out the seeds I picked. They sound great. So thanks very much to them! 😊💚✌️🍃🙏
As this one is a Sativa strain and therefore likely to grow bigger, and take longer to finish I've put her into an 8 Gallon pot so hopefully we can make this plant into a stunner!
💚✌️🌱😊 Strain overview.
Up to 24% THC with a smooth, creative high
65% Sativa genetics.
Acapulco Gold Auto isn’t just some half-baked nod to a legendary landrace. It’s a lightning-fast, terp-loaded tribute with all the sunny energy of the original and none of the photoperiod fuss. If you’re chasing tropical flavours, uplifting daytime effects, and a grow that practically takes care of itself, this auto checks every box. It’s easy, it's productive, and most of all, it’s fun as hell to grow.
You’re looking at dense, resin-laced nugs that shimmer like they’ve been dipped in sugar and sunshine. And the high? Expect good vibes only. Sociable, energetic, and just a bit giggly. Ideal for creative missions or simply making mundane things weirdly delightful. This one’s a no-brainer for anyone who wants top-shelf sativa buzz without the grower’s degree.
Strain Overview:-
💚Origin💚
Acapulco Gold’s roots stretch back to the west coast of Mexico, and this autoflowering version keeps that golden legacy alive with a smart Ruderalis cross that triggers flowering on its own schedule. The original was a 70s icon, smuggled, praised, and passed around like a legend. This auto keeps the soul of the sativa intact while trimming the time, the size, and the effort needed to grow it. You still get those mango-citrus notes and that sparkling golden glow, now packed into a modern format built for quick grows and stealthy spots.
🤪Effects & flavours😋
The effects are pure daytime bliss: creative, talkative, and bright. You’ll feel it rise behind the eyes, spread into a steady uplift, and settle somewhere between mellow clarity and happy head-buzz. Not the kind of strain that leaves you zoning out mid-thought. This one fuels conversations, brainstorming, and full-on outdoor adventures.
flavour-wise, Acapulco Gold Auto is a tropical cocktail with a pine-kissed twist. It starts earthy and lemony on the inhale, then rolls into a bright burst of citrus, sweet fruit, and just a little sour tang to keep things interesting. It’s like sunshine in vapor form.
❤️THC & CBD Levels❤️
Packing up to 24% THC, this strain is no slouch in the potency department. The low 0.5% CBD means it leans fully into its psychoactive side, making it perfect for seasoned smokers or adventurous beginners who know when to take it slow.
💚Terpenes💚
The terpene trio here does a lot of the heavy lifting.
•Alpha Pinene brings that sharp pine freshness and mental alertness. •Linalool softens the buzz with floral calm and a bit of body ease. •Humulene rounds it out with a touch of earth and a no-nonsense, grounded edge.
Together, they create a well-balanced profile that lifts the mood without tipping into spacey territory.
🧡Growing Acapulco Gold Auto Seeds🧡
Beginner-friendly and forgiving, Acapulco Gold Auto grows like a champ with minimal fuss. If you’ve got basic gear and a bit of patience, you’ll be just fine. She's robust, resilient, and handles training well, especially if you give her a little encouragement with LST or some light defoliation.
🏠Indoor vs. Outdoor Growing🏡
Indoors, she stays nicely compact at around 39 inch to 59 inch, which is tall enough to impress without overwhelming your tent. Outdoors, expect a little extra stretch, reaching up to 67 inch from a base of 43 inch, especially if she’s soaking up some strong sun. She also performs great in greenhouses and comes with solid resistance to pests and mould. This one was clearly bred for versatility. Whether you're on a city balcony, a remote plot, or in a full grow room, she’ll handle it.
🌸Flowering Time & Yield⚖️
This lady gets to work fast. Flowering wraps up in just 56 to 70 days, and when it’s time to harvest, she absolutely delivers. Indoors, expect between 1.6–2 oz per square feet. Outdoors, she can push out 15.9–19.4 oz per plant. All of this happens without needing to adjust your light cycles or stretch your veg phase 😊🌱✌️💚
I'm going ahead and planting the seed directly into the soil, in the 8 Gallon fabric pot.
Sprinkling some Great White Mycorrhizal Fungi blend in the little 2cm hole, then planting the seed, covering over with a pinch of soil gently patted down and watered in with a small amount (50-100mls) of mineral water.
💚🌱🍃 The super coco mix was made of:
♡ 16L- Canna Coco Professional Plus
♡ 6L - Perlite
♡ 5L- Worm Castings
♡ 3 Cup - Ground Cinnamon
♡ Sprinkling - Great White Mycorrhizal Fungi blend
♡ 3 Cup - Diatomaceous Earth
♡ 4 Cup - Ecothrive Life Cycle
♡ 2 Cup - Ecothrive Charge
8 Gallon / 30 Litre pot size. 💚✌️🌱👍🍃

We have a seedling 🌱
She has 3 cotelydon leaves, which is interesting 💚 let's see what happens here 😊
I will be adding more perlite into the soil, as I mixed it all in layers and the top one had significantly less perlite.
Just watering when dry with un PH'D mineral water.
Thanks for checking out this grow, should be a fun one! My first Sativa has got to be a great experience 😃🍃✌️🌱👌💚
