Strain Description:
Acapulco Gold is a celebrated, mostly Sativa cultivar refined by Barney’s Farm to enhance stability, flavour and resin output. Dense golden-tinged colas develop sparkling calyxes, showcasing a powerful cannabinoid profile with notably high THC potential (exact figures vary by grow conditions). The experience is bright and motivating yet composed, ideal for daytime creativity or sociable moments. Recognised for excellence, this variety earned 1st Sativa at the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup.
Growing Information:
Well suited to indoor tents and outdoor gardens, plants show strong lateral growth and respond well to training methods such as topping, LST or SCROG. Indoors, expect approximately 500 g/m² after 60–70 days of bloom. Outdoors, tall plants can deliver up to 1500 g per plant when given full sun, quality nutrition and timely support. Aim for an October finish in temperate climates; good airflow helps pack on weight while keeping flowers pristine.
Strain Flavour And Aromas:
The flavour opens with a sweet citrus brightness before easing into creamy coffee and woody pine on the exhale. The bouquet combines earthy depth with conifer notes and a pleasant sweetness. These characteristics are consistent with terpene contributions commonly associated with myrcene (earthy sweetness), pinene (pine) and limonene (citrus), forming a layered, lingering profile.
Strain Lineage:
Rooted in Central American landrace genetics, Acapulco Gold captures the spirit of classic coastal Sativas while benefiting from modern selection for yield, resin density and flavour consistency. Barney’s Farm’s refinement preserves the energetic character and sunny disposition of its ancestry.
