Overview
Acapulco Gold is a legendary marijuana strain that was famous long before the plethora of modern hybrid marijuana strains. This feminized version from the folk at Barney’s Farm is a strong, stable strain that will please lovers of that funky old school goodness.
Although she still grows like a sativa, Barney’s have managed to get the flowering time down to a respectable 65 days or thereabouts. Staying true to her Central American genetics means that this is a stable and reliable strain with very few different phenotypes
Acapulco Gold stays a manageable height too, especially compared to some other old school sativas. She will seldom exceed 60” (1.5m). If that is still a bit too tall for your growing area then try some LST or Super Cropping to keep her in check.
When smoked Acapulco Gold burns with a luxurious fruity aroma. The buds are long and compact. Trichome production is very evident with a thin white frosting that will get the heart racing before you even start to toke.
The hit from Acapulco Gold is a beautiful hybrid hit that is upbeat whilst at the same time being physically and mentally calming. This is happy, giggly weed that imparts a tremendous sense of well-being.
