Acapulco Gold is a rare, legendary sativa-dominant hybrid famous for its energetic head high and soothing body effects. With roots in Acapulco, Mexico, this landrace strain with an unknown lineage has built a solid reputation as one of the finest cannabis cultivars that exists. The fast-acting and long-lasting effects of this gorgeous golden hued bud are famous for providing a bright cerebral buzz that boosts mood, motivation, and creative inspiration. Acapulco Gold offers a euphoric head high and a subtle, soothing sense of physical relaxation without any sedation in the slightest. Great for social settings, creative endeavors, or greeting the day with renewed energy, Acapulco Gold shines as one of the most invigorating strains you’ll find. With a flavor profile as fabulous as its effect, Acapulco Gold blends earthy, citrus, and coffee notes on the inhale, with a smooth, creamy, pine-like finish on the exhale. Pungently sweet with hints of honied chestnuts, the complexity of Acapulco Gold is a true testament of its legendary appeal. Acapulco Gold THC levels average 19-24%, and offers a unique, invigorating euphoria blended with relaxing physical ease. Its arousing and stimulating effects make it go-to for daytime use, and is especially appealing for a morning wake-and-bake session. Medical users often use Acapulco Gold to support stress, ease symptoms of depression, and relieve PTSD. It’s also used for chronic pain, migraines, nausea, and fatigue. Notoriously difficult to grow indoors, Acapulco Gold is increasingly rare and typically only found in warmer climates in the Western U.S., desert Southwest, and Upper Midwest. Growing indoors requires some space and attention to detail due to its tall, sativa structure, and using various training techniques is recommended. This strain has a flowering time of 70-75 days and yields an abundance harvest of potent, dense buds when cultivated correctly.

Acapulco Gold grew much stockier than I expected for a Sativa dominant strain. Her smell is one of the best in the tent, and I think I have a future favorite strain here.

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.

Harvested on Sept 21st, after a super easy transition into Flower; 3 weeks early !! With conditions in the Epi-Centre (Laundry room) steady, this plant was harvested yesterday, 2 full weeks since it was chopped. Cure begins now, in the Freezer, but not before a trip down memory lane with such a Sweet and Dank tasting Bud making Us laugh out loud !!

Overall very happy with this grow. Been looking for this old school flavor for years and I think this will get pretty close. Easy to grow and not very high maintenance ladies. They seemed to like defoliation and LST. Beautiful colors, loaded with trichomes, and dense buds. In total, 6 ounces dry weight. I’ll update the smoke once it’s had time to cure. Happy growing growmies!!

These girls did not fail to impress. Plants were on the small side- but they had tons of side branches that filled in with thick colas.

Acapulco Gold is a monster, i had to HST the shit outa her to keep her below the light, very resilient plant as i also snapped a few colas and they mended fine. She took 110 days in total, 34 days in veg and 76 days of flower. She definitely wanted more space then I gave her.

It was an easy grow for me. It was my first marijuana grow, but I am an experienced gardener. I had issues with Barney's customer service and will not order from them again. They are rude and do not rectify any issues with their products. I was offered a coupon.

Malheureusement j’ai du couper à cause de la moisissure qui commençait à être trop intense. C’est une plante qui a un énorme potentiel pour de grosse récolte . La durée de floraison est très longue et demande des conditions parfaite pour réduire tous risques de problème. Malgré la récolte tôt les terpènes semble assez fort .

This flower is perfect for anytime of the day or comes on hard in the head and after a couple of hours it sets in the body without losing the cerebral effect of the sativa

The plant ended up being a bit shorter then I thought it would have gotten but that's not to bad. Especially when the tent was only 5ft tall. The buds were a decent size and looked really nice.

Grow went well. The only issues were possible over feeding. Go light on the nutes with these older strains specifically sativa. The plants looked good and grew a bit bigger than I expected after the switch. I’d say next time I would flip sooner in veg. I bet you could fill a room with just one plant if you wanted. Stay tuned for weights and smoke report in 2 more week. Update- So far I have over 200g of trimmed dried and cured (10 days) bud. Have much more to go with this one.
