Acapulco Gold is widely regarded as the best Sativa strain of marijuana, and it has gained legendary status in the cannabis world. If you were a reader of High Times in the 80s or 90s, you would have likely come across this strain and its pin-up worthy appearance. Acapulco Gold is loved for its uplifting and mellow effects, providing a pleasant high without overwhelming intensity. This makes it particularly beneficial for those dealing with stress or anxiety, as it offers a sense of relaxation and joy with its citrus-pine scent.
Acapulco Gold Auto is a superb example of a classic sativa strain, with its tall growth (reaching 1-1.5m indoors without training) and slender, dark green leaves. The introduction of ruderalis genetics has made the leaves wider compared to the original strain. The buds form in clusters along the main stem and side branches, appearing fluffy and coated in trichomes. Although slightly less dense than some other strains, they still deliver a satisfying yield. With proper lighting and training, even novice growers can achieve 400g indoors using the SOG method, and this can increase up to 500g/m2 without any difficulties.
