Acapulco Gold Feminized Seeds

Acapulco Gold is a cult classic. It emerged in Acapulco, Mexico, and got popularized in the US during the Hippie movement. Its allure lies in its potency, sweet taste, and euphoric effects.

It’s believed this strain is a landrace: one of the originals responsible for the massive modern marijuana market. It was superior to the Texan and Californian strains Americans smoked in the 60s, which led to its widespread acclaim.

Acapulco Gold’s name stems from its buds’ semblance to gold nuggets. For a while, it was synonymous with high-quality cannabis. In 2014, High Times included it in their 25 Greatest Strains of All Time.

This strain is central to cannabis history. It was the symbol of expected legalization in the late 60s. It also fathered countless cultivars, including the renowned Skunk #1 feminized.

The strain fell off as the market turned to indoor weed, but its popularity re-surged in recent years. Time-tested and steadfast, Acapulco Gold strain seeds are now facing a renaissance.

—————   GERMINATION GUIDE ——————–

There are so many methods, which one is the best? Follow the step-by-step guide to ‘The paper towel method’ below.

It’s Homegrown’s / The Southern Maryland Experience’s best way to germinate cannabis seeds.

The process is simple, and you’ll need only a few household items:

• Two plates
• Paper towels
• Tweezers
• Bottled/purified water
• Homegrown Cannabis Co. seeds sold by TSME LLC

(STEP #1)

Take two paper towels and moisten them. Remember to wring out any excess water.

(STEP #2)

Take a few paper towels and set them on your plate. Put the others to the side for later.

(STEP #3)

Using tweezers, place your Homegrown Cannabis Co. seeds on your paper towel. Leave around one inch in between each seed.

(STEP #4)

Take the second paper towel and lay it over the top, being careful not to nudge your seeds out of their designated space. Add more water if you need to.

(STEP #5)

Double-check for excess water by lifting the paper towel in one corner. If there’s any freestanding liquid, drain it! Check regularly to make sure the towels haven’t dried.

(STEP #6)

Take your other plate and use it as a lid to cover your seeds. Place it in a warm, dry spot, like a cabinet, drawer, or the top of the fridge.

(STEP #7)

Maintain a constant temperature of between 70 – 77°F.

(STEP #8)

You need to check in on your pot seeds regularly. Within 24 to 120 hours, they should pop a taproot.

(STEP #9) 

Once your seeds have sprouted, they’re ready for planting.

HOW LONG DOES GERMINATION TAKE?

Germinating cannabis seeds takes anywhere between one and five days.

Lots of things can impact the cannabis sprouting time. Germinating an old seed can take twice as long as a fresher one, for example. Or you may be trying to pop them in an environment that’s too cool or dry. Or the seeds might simply take longer – they’re a natural product and they play by their own rules.

Weed sprouting should occur within five days (120 hours). This is the only real rule you should consider. It’s very rare, but not abnormal, to have a seed pop on day 6 or 7.
