About this release
Acapulco Gold is a mostly sativa landrace strain from the Acapulco region of Mexico, considered one of the finest cannabis varieties produced in the Americas. It gained legendary status in the 1960s and 1970s US counterculture and remains a reference strain for connoisseur sativa effects. This feminized version is available through Seed Supreme.
