Hi idiit , where can i get beans from fritzman?
2 I know that still do Acapulco Gold
1: Cultivators Choice
2: Barneys Farm (best choice)
the sales blurb:
Thanks to recent advances in marijuana genetics we’ve pioneered, the quality of our Acapulco Gold goes beyond the often rhapsodized smoke of days past. Just as importantly for us, however, was capturing its spirit. Like the original namesake, these gorgeous, firm colas are flecked with gold and reddish brown, with very visible THC crystals. The intense fruit cocktail of flavors pack a strong sensation that really lingers. Acapulco Gold is sativa dominant, offering a long lasting high that balances upbeat effects with body-relaxing, stress reducing calmness.THC: 23%

fritzman used to run site called Brazilian seed company. he got lots of help; lmn, preservation dude, sergipe, zamalito to name a few. he closed his shop but still sends out some beans personally. he still uses his old email addy. there are a lot of posts on several different forums re bsc.
I never ran Brazilian green but those that did seemed to like it. I did run his Colombian gold but it performed sub par in my inadequately prepared site. I grow outdoors in an area that is very difficult to grow in and I've been working hard at my amendment skills. bsc's Colombian gold is highly rated from posts I've read.
I've been very happy with a few bsc strains. I believe for the most part they are real deal sourced landraces. I know nothing about this Acapulco Gold sourced from preservation dude(now deceased).
as far as being well connected; the connections are right here at ic mag. we are the landrace site. I have learned a lot from fellow ic mongers.
I've tried to reciprocate. I like to carry my end of the load. I also want ppl too know that landraces are still available. some have random pollen pollution. some are worked strains and some are unworked wild specimen field collected. most of us landrace types don't go the dispensary and buy a "cut" to run. running seed stock involves the grower using discernment in his selections and doing in line breeding work on his own.

I guess the issue now is who has the purest strain?
Not that I could tell the difference, but the low odor, low growing mostly sativa characteristics are the reasons I'm considering it.
I have plenty of couch lock/pain relief/ eye droop medicine. I need something uplifting for going the the gym, riding bikes and hiking miles at a time.
That one may have relation to the Acapulco Gold sold in the past by Dr. Greenthumb. Zamalito should know and it's worth the research, they were 10 weekers that looked a bit tamed, I personally found to be too fast for a southern Mexican, after all Acapulco strain was just a name given to the weed that was grown and exported around Guerrero and southern Sierra Madre. AG from Snowcap looks very nice actually. This are pics from the original preservation done by Rahan@Collective Vibes:
Yeah indeed Luiz was definietly an opportunist with seeds and his bussiness, probably he was hanging out with the wrong guys (Queijo aka HotHouseFlowers aka Breeder's Choice), he was also selling some Celestial Temple Sativa F2 seeds he got from Rahan as a gift right away... :/
Anyway, I remember how in the past many people used to reject BSC seeds because of the bad results, poor breeding/preservation work and hybrid looking genetics in some cases (Manga Rosa, Colombian Gold, etc), now it seems it's becoming a legend like most seedbanks that used to offer different gear. Good source to find some rare seeds anyway but most came as gifts via other friends, he wasn't a strain hunter nor a breeder after all (no dissin' though).
Vibes.
Mexican Acapulco
This Mexican was gifted by zamalito as a F2 from Dc Greenthumbs Acapulco gold. It is a short flowering sativa (8-10 weeks) with two phenos, one branchier and the other more columnar. She is nice to smoke, up high, energetic. Nice lemon smell but low calyx to leaf ratio. An easy strain, usable for outdoor too. Great for one bud too. Not sure it is the true Acapulco gold but that's a nice strain anyway.
Here are some pics under fluoros:

@ Idiit, yea I remember Fritz/zamalito....I was going to place a few orders right when his site went offline and as usual....I kicked myself for hesitating and not finding out about him before.
@ Musta....are HHF's seeds legit heirlooms/landraces? I remember HHF had a direct svendor site not too long ago.

Some could be, they used to have the same Highland Thai and Lao offered in the past by Sativafiend/Real Seed Co, Malawi F2 from Afropips or African seeds and so on.
On the other hand its well known they've been ripping many people off and stealing genetics from others too (Oldtimer Haze for example), so I don't know what to say. Be cautious I guess.

Very good point you've made Idiit, I'm a newbie but i will have to establish myself here and make friends and connections
fritz knows bwetter than to ask for payment via ria nor western union. he's hot. I know. I got the calls from wu and ria. I chewed out fritz for endangering our safety. I just got a pm form an ic monger that fritz is still wanting payment via ria.
BAD. REAL BAD.
i'm sorry I posted on these beans now.

K, thanks for the heads up...maybe there is a legitimate reason why I kept hesitating to pull the trigger. I tend to trust my "gut feeling" when placing orders.
In 1971 in southern USA I had a older friend who had a good connection for Acapulco Gold. He was wild and crazy and more so high on Acapulco Gold, it was magical, psychedelic, laughing uncontrollably, feel good and had some stone to it. One night we got stoned and drove the car "off road" all around and thru campus, we would often keep driving and end up on the Florida coast or at a concert in Atlanta a day later.
My memory of Acapulco Gold high resulted in some magical adventures. Take in mind we were young, stoned, and filled with the late 1960's spirit, Oh wow man I'm really stoned. The closest high I remember to 1971 Acapulco Gold was 1971 Panama Red magical, stoney and psycedelic. The magic and creativity is lacking in today's strains like ~ Mango Haze, even in long flowering 16 - 17 week phenotypes.
As Bluebeard's post in 2008 notes Acapulco Gold high is different than Guerrero Green. That said - Chimera's 1973 Highland Guerrero x Blueberry sativa is spot on for the effect you note, energetic and motivating for going to the gym, long bicycle rides, on long hikes and any and all outdoor activities. Chimera's Highland Mexican is psychedelic like early 1970's Highland Mexican. If you smoke a joint, you'll have to wait a bit while all the things necessary to ride a bike come together. After a joint, even walking is sometimes strange at first, as if you're walking using someone else's legs. Eventually energy start to flow nicely flow and your senses and outdoor activities are fun and enjoyable.
The beauty of connoisseur Mexican is heighten sensory awareness which in the body might be one of your legs or hips is stiffer or longer than the other and you become aware how it effects your walking. Same with yoga you naturally know what your body needs to relieve stress and rejuvenate itself. Hard to explain, but very profound if you're into that sort of thing.
Generalizing, Highland Oaxacan Gold high was clean and exquisite, less wild and crazy than Acapulco Gold. and might be closer to a high that motivates you to exercise and enjoy life to its fullest. Some long flowering phenotypes of Mango Haze motivate me to the gym, or to take long hikes or bicycle rides. Denver sells Acapulco Gold in the marijuan stores, however.....
For me Chimera's Highland Mexican and Mango Haze both have a high that make you want to exercise, garden, hike or..... There is some indica genetics in each, but both have a wonderful energy flow. Chimera's Highland Mexican has the "old school magic" things just start to happen, and it often involves exercise, or yoga, but the energy flow of Highland Mexican is excellent for creative activities like fine art painting, music and so on. I think you are on the right track with connoisseur Mexican genetics. Bluebeard's post from 2008 follows. Cheers
