Acapulco Gold Clone | Heirloom Mexican Landrace

The Genetic Library: Acapulco Gold Profile

Acapulco Gold cannabis clones represent one of the most legendary Mexican landrace sativa cultivars, originating from the Guerrero Mountains surrounding Acapulco, Mexico. This pure sativa (approximately 70% sativa-dominant) gained iconic status during the 1960s-70s counterculture movement and remains valued for its distinctive golden appearance, energizing effects and complex terpene expression.

Mother stock is preserved in sterile, climate-controlled nursery rooms to ensure genetic stability and landrace authenticity. Acapulco Gold serves boutique cultivation programs seeking heritage genetics with clear-headed, daytime-appropriate characteristics.
