About Acapulco Gold Seeds
Acapulco Gold is a legendary Sativa-dominant hybrid, typically 70% Sativa and 30% Indica, originating from Mexican or Central American landrace genetics and characterized by a high THC content ranging from 15% to 23%. The strain typically reaches a medium-to-tall height of up to 2 meters outdoors and produces resinous buds with gold, orange, and red pistils over a flowering period that averages 9 to 10 weeks. Feminized photoperiod seeds are the primary format offered across major retailers, with common flavor profiles featuring earthy, citrus, and coffee notes driven by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene terpenes. Source note: Sources conflict on specific lineage details, with some citing a "Mexican x Skunk x Apple Pie" cross while others list "Mexican Sativa x Secret Hybrid" or stabilized Central American landrace genetics; reported flowering times also vary slightly between 9 and 10 weeks depending on the specific breeder's version.
