I do remember Acapulco Gold and Panama RED .... Acapulco Gold was mid/late 60's .. Panama Red was mid/late 70's ...

haha Acapilco Gold was $10/lid

Panama Red was more like $30 / 1/2 oz

Acapulco Gold was better !

the Sour diesel I just grew turned a golden color late in flowering and was every bit as good ..or better than the Acapulco Gold I used to get ... to this day some of the best smoke I've ever had was Oaxacan .. Sativa Seeds has a Mountain Oaxacan available

So you think that Sour diesel might be what they use to call Acapulco Gold?
Interesting. I never heard of Oaxcan but I can't help but wonder what it would be called now?
Do you remember meshmachon weed?
I smoked meshmachon at a party in the early 70's and the whole party was so stoned some fell asleep.

It was a warm summer night so I went out side and sat on the front porch and had the only hallucination I ever experienced.
I saw the whole Bugs Bunny gang you know daffy duck, bugs, porky pig etc... go marching across the porch rail in living color and as Yosemite Sam walked past he turned looked at me and shot bricks out of his pistol at me.
I was ducking to miss them.

The dude gave me about 1 ounce of stems from this pot and I would get so stoned it was insain off the stems.
LOL

The Meshmachon .. I'm pretty sure .. was Michoacan (pronounced .. Mish ..wa ..khan) It's a State in Mexico near Oaxaca .. (pron.. Wo .ha ka )

I'd have to check .. but Oaxaca is East of Acapulco and Michoacan ..( I think ) is North of Oaxaca

No I don't think Sour Diesel is Acapulco Gold .. I think the Sour Diesel has Mexican Sativa strains as a genetic base ...

The SD is s'posed to be 90% Sativa

The pics of your weed looks just like my grow. What strain is it?
seeds were taken from one bud of O G Kush

Out of ten seeds that germinated .. eight made it all the way to flower ... ALL female ..


The two leaves on the left are from one plant that looks like it's strong on the Sativa side .. One on the far right is my most Indica looking .. six plants looked more like the two in the middle

Wow fdd what an awesome thread....I just spent half a day read it cover to cover... have been studying the first few pages over the last month or so as my first grow nears its end... I have Red Devil in a hydro setup with 600w HPS and am now nearly 8 weeks into 12/12...I was thinking theyve been looking nearly ready for about a week now and was a little premature due to my experience, but after this thread Im starting to see different strains grow different to others.... anywaywas gonna put up a pic and ask if it was ready... but after 95 pages I reckon Ive got it sussed now.

Pistils are pretty much all amber now and have pretty much receded back into the bud..although there does seem to be a couple of new white ones on top of the crowns now, leaves are all curling and crispy((actually i'll post a pic for an opinion about that) Im not flushing and the nutes are all still constant along with pH, Im assuming this is just a natural occurence when it is coming to the end of its life.)) The calyxs are staring to swell...just not seeing the gold overall tinge yet...Im thinking they're pretty much there, but just giving them another couple of days to see what happens.
So have I passed the end of tutorial exam
Even if I havent, Ive learnt shitloads from this site, and even more so from this thread
Troy
Ps The HPS light makes seeing the gold tinge pretty hard, so it may actually be there

The Sour Diesel I grew was clones from Northern California .... How it got sour .. from NYCD .. I'm not sure ... but the Kind Green Buds .. "Marijuana Strain Library" says ( paraphrased ) " crossed and recrossed ... 90 % Sativa "


not sure myself .. but .. I LOVE the strain and it gets me RIPPED .. haha


btw Hi fdd .. salute ... fdd ..u know about the SD ? .. sorry .. I know this isn't exactly Harvesting / curing related ..

FDD2BLK, I removed a small lower branch from my flowering (8weeks+) plant last week to dry and take a little taste, I trimmed and hung it, after three days drying it smelled great and was drying evenly. Then yesterday I checked it (day 4) and it smells just like immature leaf ragweed. (still not dry) What in the hell am I doing wrong? Not sure what to do, will curing help?
Thanks and thanks for a great thread.

i would do 5 hps and 4 metal halide you get less lumens with the same electricity with halides. but you get a more or less complete spectrum for bushier growth and less internode spacing so not a bad way to grow.
