The 60s strain that started a golden age

Every era has a strain that defines it, and the 60s had this one. Acapulco Gold, the landrace from the hills above the Mexican port city, became the name the whole world knew, and its fame helped start the era that turned growing into the craft it is today. The video above tells the story of that golden age and the line at the centre of it.

The strain that started the story

Where a story begins matters, because that is where the genetics behind it get decided. Acapulco Gold's era produced legends, but eras end, and the living lines behind them either get carried forward or get lost. The strain that started it all deserves as much living protection as anything that followed.

Carrying lines forward is the entire work of CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones keep a strain's genuine character intact from grower to grower, so that the genetics behind the stories that started this craft stay real. The golden age survives only where its lines do.
