If you picked up any cop of High Times in the 80’s or 90’s then you are very likely to have seen this strain in all her pin up glory. Acapulco Gold was one of the most defining and much-loved strains of the early marijuana movement and it's easy to see why. Uplifting yet mellow, a real easy smoke that gets you properly “high” without the spiralling rush of some newer sativas. This means that it is a real benefit to those suffering from stress or anxiety as you troubles float away on a cloud of citrus-pine scented joy.
Growing tall for an auto (1-1.5m indoors without training) Apaculco gold Auto is a beautiful example of a classic sativa strain. Long thing finger like leaves, are now slightly wider and darker thanks to the introduction of the ruderalis genetics. Buds run in clusters up the main stem and cluster in big fluffy piles around the tops side branches, but despite being slightly more airy than some strains, they are still thickly coated in glistening trichomes. Even though Acapulco gold Auto will take slightly longer than some of our varieties, the yield more than makes up for it. Indoors under SOG, even a novice grower can achieve 400g but with good lighting and some training this can increase up to 500gm2 without issues.
