Acapulco Gold

Family: Haze. Acapulco Gold is a Mexican landrace-associated name from mid-century import lore. Parents remain Unknown. Seed packs that reuse the name are remakes or branded selections, not one frozen village cut that every jar can prove.

The name became a teaching word for Mexican tropical flavor stories and gold-bract folklore that later showed up in Haze and Skunk conversations. Collectors used Acapulco Gold when describing incense, citrus, and long-flowering tropical language in older catalogs. Modern remakes should not be collapsed into that historical label without evidence on the specific pack.

Useful neighbors for place-name and tropical-catalog teaching include Colombian Gold, Panama Red, Thai, Malawi Gold, and Haze. Colombian Gold and Panama Red keep the conversation inside Latin American place-name catalogs. Thai and Malawi Gold show how equatorial and African gold-branded names traveled in parallel teaching language. Haze pages often borrow tropical import folklore without proving Acapulco Gold as a parent.

Acapulco Gold remains a landrace-associated name, not a Haze cultivar. Landrace parent references stay empty when early collection notes are incomplete. If a hybrid page claims Acapulco Gold as a parent, link that claim only when the hybrid page exists here and the story is commonly published. Do not invent a second barcode for every gold-branded remake.

Read gold-named jars against this page rather than assuming every tropical marketing line shares one genotype. This record is for education and research vocabulary, not for retail substitution claims.

Terpene names that come up: terpinolene, myrcene, pinene, and limonene. Treat any lab panel as a snapshot for that sample only.
