Does anyone know where I can find this strain?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this so mods, please move it if it is not. I'm getting bored of today's commercialized strains and really want to go back into getting high for 5+ hours off of one joint. I'm looking for the REAL DEAL pure Chocolate Thai, Acapulco Gold / Red or Panama Red strain. I will never forget the intensely long lasting powerful high and taste of it. I was lucky enough to grow and smoke these during the late 80's - early 90's before they went "extinct" and I stupidly lost my seed collection recently. If you know where to find seeds (or clones) of the real deal stuff, if it's even possible, please let me know. I looked everywhere but only found the "re-created" fakes, hybrid, non-landrace strains. OK mjseedcanada.ca does infact carry Acapulco Gold. Best part is if you order 100 dollars in seeds you will get 10 free seeds

I know there's a Spanish seed shop that has some interesting Landrace's. At least it was around some years back when I saw them at a Spanabis. Can't for the life of me remember it's name = Sometimers is getting worse LOL..

I don't think anyone outside of Arjon has any Punta Roja (Mex or colum red hair) real landrace....And like I said, you won't get him to come off any, unless you have something HE wants.
Need those higher CBD strains to help with that... :bigjoint:

I have acopulco from barneys finishing Flowering right now.... smells fucking delicious.... taking a long time to flower though. Really long. I'm on day 79 and all the hairs are still white..... smells awesome as fuck though I'm thinking it will be done in about 10 days.

The pistols (hairs) can sometimes be misleading, best way to tell when to harvest is by using a jewlers loupe (30x magnification) to examine the trichomes. Clear trichomes will turn milky, this is the time the thc levels will be at the most potent. After the milky stage the trichomes will amber up indicating a break down of thc giving you more of a couchlock high. The white hairs will turn redish brown during the drying,curing process. Hope this helps.

Yeah I know I use a scope aswell. But almost all strains have some hairs turn red orange at the end... this thing literally has all clear trichs still aswell

Well If all your parameters are good to go then maybe you just have a strain that takes a little longer to ripen. Just keep looking through the glass and watch for the milky trichomes to arrive. Happy growing.

Acapulco Gold from Barneys Farm at the Vault... https://www.cannabis-seeds-store.co.uk/feminised-seeds/barneys-farm/acapulco-gold-feminised-seeds/prod_248.html I was looking at it the other day as I was having flash backs to the 80's... :bigjoint: Just had not done enough looking into it to buy it yet and some say they haven't had good luck with Barneys Farm, but since I have not run any of their seeds, I am still looking into it...Would love to find Thai Stick and REAL Maui Wowie
I've run a few barneys, never had an issue and gave always gotten as advertised, I'd give it a shot mount!

Be very hard to find,be good if you do mange to find these,Do what we do ,go to the places these strains originated from,and you might fall lucky,i have family in jamaca,i go there once a year and i am still hunting one pheno of purple skunk from over there,along with a few others i grew up with,i have a few.Most of jamaca is now been flooded with seed's from seed banks like greenhouse,sensi seeds.That is the main reason that i never take any seeds over there with me its not right,flooding there grows with,strains like white widow,its causing serious damage to some of the oldest landrace strains around.

I had some seed's brought back from africa,the pictures of the bud was a very sad looking set of flowers covered in seeds,but the seeds are part of my collection,and one day i will get round to doing them just to prove to my friend who brought me them back that the weed would have been good if they would have grown it right,and pulled the males.

I've given serious thought to just heading down to Panama for a few months and hiking around in the hills, looking for secluded patches of dope in the hope of finding some original Panama Red. It'd be a long, arduous trip, but if it pays off, it'd be a major achievement. I'd isolate it, keep it genetically intact, and maybe sell it clone only so a million idiots don't immediately start crossing it with purpleburpleblueberrybubbleglue or whatever the Flavor of The Week is. It'd be a nice legacy to leave behind; the guy who saved Panama Red.

I just had a thought - wouldn't it be incredible to be digging through a box of your old stuff from high school, and come across a 30-year old nickel bag of Panama Red with some bagseeds in the bottom? Might not germinate after all that time, but if they did... wow! What a find!

That's encouraging, because it suggests it's a true sativa - such as you'd expect Acapulco Gold to be. Good luck to you, hope it grows out properly!

Wandering to find secluded patch's of highly toxic flying lead could be the real result

Ever since this thread started, been thinking of that Panama Red and the flash backs have been fun... just so happened that while tending the weekend, I decided to throw in some music from my days in the 70's and guess what came through....Now if anyone can identify the group in the picture BEFORE clicking on the link below, extra brownie points and these brownie points are special made.. :bigjoint:
