Acapulco Gold Strain Information
The Acapulco gold seeds will grow into beautiful, lush plants decked with fat flowering colas speckled with rusty-coloured calyxes. And to top it off? A delightful bedazzling thanks to the THC crystal shimmering on the surface. All these elements merge to form a lovely golden glow, inspiring the namesake.
Typical Characteristics
The Acapulco gold seed is for collection purposes only. In its natural environment, the seed generally grows into a large plant that has a fruity flavor. Due to its sativa dominant nature, the Acapulco Gold strain is a balanced hybrid that is supportive for a sense of calm as well as inspiration. The effects are said to be long-lasting, as it initially tends to facilitate stress release before an upbeat buzz begins to take over.
This calm yet uplifting buzz is a tribute to the Acapulco gold strain genetics. The bud boasts a balanced scale; 70% sativa and 30% indica, allowing your physical, mental and emotional states to find some sense of calm while inspiring to chat, move the body, relax with some entertainment or just get some chores done. The strain is chemically geared up for the daytime- it allows for alertness as opposed to heavy sedation. The sparkling gold nugs are a favourite in the US cannabis industry, and the Acapulco gold seeds are a popular choice for any collector.
Another typical characteristic of this sativa leaning strain is the pleasant taste that usually accompanies it. With a sweet, musky, and woody earthiness, this strain is a unique blend of both sweet and spicy notes. The Acapulco Gold strain is a contrasting blend of scents that is surprisingly complimentary. Even the mature plant itself budding with fresh flowers has a pleasant aroma.
Acapulco Gold’s THC levels are usually tested between 15 and 20 %, which is an average THC content for many strains. The CBD content, however, is lower than average and is generally recorded as >1%. As for terpenes, the Acapulco gold strain typically contains significant levels of Caryophyllene (which awards the strain its spiciness), Limonene (a fruity, citrus scent), and Myrcene (the herbal, earthy, woody scent).
As the name suggests, the strain originated in the Acapulco region in Mexico. Today, it is one of the most well-known strains that is often perceived as a high class, almost 5-star restaurant-style, bud. Aside from being a strain of genetic excellence, reports show that the Acapulco gold seeds are becoming rarer by the day. Get yours from Seed City today.
