Acapulco Gold

49 / 12 / 69 This was probably the smallest plant in this grow, but it definitely had the hardest buds — very dense, rock-solid flowers. At the same time, this plant produced the smallest yield of all. Beautifully covered in resin, very few leaves to trim — really great bud structure! It was quite easy to manage: it didn’t branch much, didn’t stretch too much upwards, and the stems filled up nicely with buds. I’m a little disappointed though, because these seeds came from an old pack — from back when the packaging actually looked like seeds I was hoping this strain hadn’t been affected by the tendency to add indica genetics into sativas to boost productivity and speed up flowering, etc. But my phenotype definitely leaned indica — both in the way it grew and in the effect. Very strong and couch-locking. The flavor and aroma are a mix of herbs and roots with a slight hint of earth and spices. Still, it was a pleasure working with this plant. I’ve got a few seeds left in the pack, so I’ll probably come back to it someday — hopefully to find a true sativa phenotype!

After a few days with the finished strain, here is what i think about Acapulco Gold: Smell/Taste: When grinded, there are pepper and pine notes that that are followed up by some spicy/woody aromas. When vaped the same applies but it changes to more of afloral aroma with tad of citrus. Its a tasty, spicy, complex and rich flavor. 8/10 High: The high is just what i hoped it would be. During the first 30mins i experience energizing waves of euphoria that carry you through the day but without being racy or too pushy. This nice build up is followed by serenety and hearty happyness. Just a happy outer peace that covers you like a warm blanket and leaves a smile on your face for hours. Functional high, relaxing but with very little body effects 10/10 Bag appeal: I was sick during the trim and did a poor job. But the nugs would look nice with a ton of orange hair. The buds are firm, compact and sparkle in the sun. 8/10 Growing experience: These beans were 9 year old and just delivered on all fronts. Easy to grow, easy to train and a joy to have them in you garden. Above average yielder in my case.

Chopped and hanging in the smaller tent, I’ll be back with edits for jarring and curing… The Acapulco Gold smells like sour green apple WarH3ad candies leaves my nose tingling. The Laughing Buddha smells tropical, lot going on in its profile I’m not quite sure what kind of fruit cocktail it reminds me most of but it’s more sweet and creamy. I’m high.. HIGHLY recommend grabbing these strains from Barney’s Farm.

Bastante resina, y buen olor, flores duras algunas cogieron colores.

No complaints about this one. Took all of my bs and mistakes like a champ, faded beautifully by itself. Smells great, fruity, some hints of lemon, a bit earthy. Tastes like carrots. Good effect.
