Acapulco Gold - bag experiment - Test Grows ~ New Varieties - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Seneca · 09-21-2010, 08:25 AM

Sampled some of the local weed down in Acapulco Mexico. The best was a shaky/seedy sativa smoke, nice mellow buzz, great to hang out at the pool/beach. The local swore was from the Acapulco area.

We'll I got curios about the APO seeds, so I popped some indoors in cups and latter small pots. I was impressed, vigorous growth, nice structure. I took the best male and 2 different female outdoors to be seeded. 3 weeks into flower in small pots, about 24-26"

What's my goal for this breading project? Fun, I just wanted to see a couple of Acapulco plants.

Likely it's not the real deal Acapulco Gold, but a Mexican Hybrid

More of a hybrid:

Leaning towards the sativa side:

The Male:

The original weed, I rarely see Mexi swag

I'll give the f2s a better chance to shine in a couple of months. What do you think real APO Gold or Mexi brick????

I never saw the original gold, but bet that is not it.

Very fun! I live in Northern Cali so I've got access to all kinds of great genetics but it hasnt always been this way. I moved here a few months ago from a part of Florida where mexi-schwag is about all thats available. Over the years living in FL I grew out hundreds of mexican bagseeds and found many great plants. Some of the plants I grew from schwag bagseeds would rival Cali's finest strains. There was one plant in particular that comes to mind that had a strong metallic smell. It was too potent! The morning it was dry enough to smoke I took a few hits off a joint on my way to work and had to pull over on the side of the road. After gaining my composure a half hour later I drove to the next store and used a payphone to call in sick. Dont underestimate mexican weed when grown properly! Good luck with the breeding.

i read in an old high times that Acapulco Gold was gold/yellow because they ring barked the plants at about 2-3 weeks till the finish, this stressed them and they also changed colour as they died making it easier to dry them in the end ??

it should have a gold and yellow color to it over the years of the Mexicans fucking with it the strain, it started to come out gold/yellow and stayed with the strain for years. I have not seen that strain for years some time early 80's was the last time I got some of the Gold.And from the looks of it you have more of an indica and the gold was a sativa

This well seeded Acapulco Gold from the Acapulco Mex region is looking close to ready. I'm not really sure/confident it has any original AG traits, heck it might just be common old weed. but never the less it's a nice easy to grow outdoor plant. The F2 seeds should give me a better idea of what I've created.

Whats the right time to harvest this seed Acapulco Gold? I'm see some of the seed pods cracking open. Should I want until 75% are cracked before harvest? or is this a good time?

Thx

i'm still waiting for mine to get to the ripe stage, i think you just wait until they turn brown and you can see them sitting in the calyxes. about 40 days after you pollinated the lot
