Acapulco Gold

Speaking of Bodhi's Acapulco Gold, looky what I found earlier this week. I have a couple female clones coming along though and the timing should be close.

Regardless of the timing, I'd collect as much pollen as possible for storage and future seed runs.

Are folks finding many stable males in this line? I've got a pack in the fridge that I'm hoping to open pollinate at some point in the next few years.

Hi.

It is not my case because I have not grown any AG. But I have read here you can find stable males and females in the line. Also some intersexed plants, as in many NLD (formerly known as sativas) heirloom strains.

If someone has old seeds with poor germination, read this before any attempt:

When I first notice male Sativas. I try to isolate them elsewhere if I can and give them
15 hours of light for 2 or 3 weeks. This gives the females a nice headstart and lets them
make more pistils. Then I bring in the males and the orgy begins after a week or two.

It's one of my seed whoring tricks. Don't tell. :laughing:

I like the sounds of this but at what point do they start re-vegging? :thank you:

"Rodríguez discovered that about one-third of the people sampled in Guerrero, the Pacific coastal state that lies nearly 2000 kilometers south of the U.S. border, also had up to 10% Asian ancestry, significantly more than most Mexicans. And when he compared their genomes to those of people in Asia today, he found that they were most closely related to populations from the Philippines and Indonesia. Rodríguez and his adviser, Andrés Moreno-Estrada, a population geneticist at LANGEBIO, turned to the historical record to figure out who these people's ancestors might be. They learned from historians who study ship manifests and other trade documents that during the 16th and 17th centuries, Spanish galleons sailed between Manila and the port of Acapulco in Guerrero, carrying goods and people, including enslaved Asians."

Since there was some immigration from the Spanish East Indies during the colonial period...

Vicente Guerrero - afromestizo, Mexican President and abolitionist (perhaps Filipino ancestry as well)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Mexicans#Politics

The state (Guerrero) was named after Vicente Guerrero, one of the most prominent leaders in the Mexican War of Independence and the second President of Mexico.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrero

Manilita came from the Pacific coast of southern Mexico.[1] It is descended from a variety brought from southeast Asia, particularly from Manila, Philippines. This was possible through the Galleon Trade that existed between Manila and Acapulco, Mexico (1565–1815).

I have been working to preserve an old 1978 Alcapulco gold line. These seeds were gifted to me by an old friend in Colorado. Hes saved these seeds since 78. This is my second run creating more seeds, and It looks and smokes very similar to the Alcapulco Gold I remember. Leaves are very huge and thin. Very long, skinny fingers. My goal is to just preserve it as a pure cultivar and give it out in hopes to work in back into the gene pool

That is really amazing! It must be very good in order to be devoted growing them as purebreed for so many years! :woohoo:

Sounds good. The AG I have from Bodhi and Snow are not long leaves but are thin leaves. Not related I guess?

Is the high special with your AG or the AG you used to get? I would assume it has a special or psychedelic effect? I assume you had Colombian Gold which was common at that time? Any comparisons? I did not care for my '79 Colombian Gold btw. Not bad just lacking imo.

1978 is actually quite late for the AG to be making the rounds. It was more a '60 to early '70's strain. It was likely around before 1960. Mezzrow was importing gold colored premium pot from the highlands of Mexico in the 30's My reading on the subject says AG was all but extinct and the fact no one I knew had this strain late seventies or did not share with me.:biggrin: They also did not even mention AG and they tended to brag about all the better strains and hash ( Colombian, Thai, Jamaican, Afghani hash) they had, so I do think it was extinct over here in cali around me.

The early samples of Snow AG are good but not great. No great trip to it but it does have some trippy feeling. The plants are not mature yet and not sure they will make it to the end line due to soil problems. They are more potent than Bodhi's and more euphoria. They look identical to Bodhi's. Tiny leaves and clusters, no weight to the buds. Sativa all the way.

The plants I have have narrow leaves, but are pretty small so far, but they are not really flowering yet.

Funny thing is, they are exactly as I remember my sister's "house plant" AG from the early-mid seventies when she was in high school. Smallish, thin leaves that will yellow and just fall off with nothing more than a breeze. My sister's plant was never flowered.

If the leaves are small, grow them in well rotten sheep or goat manure, you will be amazed by the size the leaves can reach.
 
I smoke acapulco gold from barneys farm and I think it is most powerfull clear sativa ever. but of cource not like afganistan marijuana. just amazing clear high. maybe more potent on all earth. some columbian and other plant not so strong in this category. maybe closer to acapulco gold only india sativas or laos-vietnam.
