There is no way the strain is gone.. people just have not gone to Acapulco to find itSounds a bit promising.
thanx to the drug cartels importing seeds from everywere in the world i doubt they will ever find it!!! and if they do find some golden bud it wont be that same has the origenal... mexico is a melting pot of all kinds of strains from all over the world... thailand, south america, centrel america, jamiaica, afghanistan, canadian, dutch ect... while all this importing and hybridizing took away some of those heirloom mexican sativas everyone over 50 raves about........ IT DEFENENTLY MADE MEXICAN POT STRONGER THOUGH!!!

why would i chase something that if doesnt exist will be like finding a needle in a hay stack... best bet is finding and old mexican marijuana grower who is like 20 or so generations deep in growing bud, and doesnt deal with the cartells....

Actually, they supposedly girdle the stalk of the plants, restricting nutrient flow for the last few weeks and turning the buds "golden."
It'd be interesting to try a flush this way.

Cartels have to buy their weed somewhere, I am sure there are some oldtime Mexican growers
the cartels wanted stronger bud, with larger yields, that can be harvested faster.... sooo they spent lots and lots of money buying beans from the dutch and canadicans... and gave to all there growers to cross into there own landraces...

I stand corrected guys. Another case of repeating something you heard on here without checking it out. Crap I hate that. The biggest thing I remember about Mexican weed was the harsh taste. My cuz, who was a dealer, said they bricked it up and poured a Coke over it to make it stick together. I don't know if that's true or not but it always ripped my throat out. My all around favorite was Colombian, followed closely by Jamaican. Then there was the AG that was in a category by itself. The smell and taste of Colombian was just amazing. I can't wait to see how my super lemon hazes and kushes come out this year; two more months!

In case anybody is still curious I have started my Barney's Farm Acapulco Gold on 7/30. Here is a few pics of her. I told my budtender about it and he told me to import some volcanic ash to mix with the soil and supposedly that is what gives it it's gold color. I'm yet to read this anywhere or hear it from anyone but him and I am willing to find out. I'll probably take some clones from her and flower her before I try the volcanic ash experiment.

Bajafox, you're onto something there my man. Think about all the places with volcanic ash, Alaska, Wa, Or, Ca, and the Caribbean; they all have superior weed. From what I've seen of the Mat-Su valley in Alaska, that stuff is amazing for plants. I'm stoked about your grow; I'm down for keeping an eye on this one. They are off to a beautiful start.
Edited to note: the leaves look very indica dominant or pure indica. That begs the question is this really AG? AG is a 100% sativa.

Well I looked up ordering volcanic ash, it doesn't seem too expensive to try out. I highly doubt that is what it is but I think it'll be fun to find out
I started that and a Sharksbreath (Indica/Sativa) and her leave's are noticeably wider. We'll see in a few months I guess, I don't think I've seen a full harvest yet. There is another thread growing it and he's well ahead of mine

The golden color (from what I've read) comes from a process called "La Mona Amarilla":
"The production of “la mona amarilla ” or gold buds is attained by girdling or removing a strip of bark from the key stem of an almost mature plant, so limiting the flow of water, nutriments, and plant products. Over a couple of days the leaves dry up and fall off as the flowers slowly die and turn yellow. This produces the highly valued “Colombian gold ” so abundant in the early to middle 1970s"

Hey there all - I saw this thread and thought I'd post up some pics of my Barney's AG grow which is now in it's 7th week of flowering. Enjoy the pics and come visit my journal as well!!

These buds have really got me excited - they smell incredible and are super-frosty. Ironically enough, as the white pistils are finishing, they're turning yellowish (gold if you like) and I had to think of it's name in this regard...however I know after reading this thread that this color is not what the name refers to. =) ....can't wait to sample these girls - should be harvesting around the second week of December!
