Acapulco Pupil
Acapulco Pupil
Overview
Acapulco Pupil is a distinctive sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Mass Medical Strains, representing a carefully crafted cross between the legendary Acapulco Gold landrace strain and their flagship Star Pupil cultivar. This strain pays homage to the famous golden Mexican sativa imports of the 1960s and 1970s while incorporating modern breeding techniques to create a more manageable indoor cultivation experience. The cross was specifically designed to retain the classic sativa qualities of Acapulco Gold - known for its soaring cerebral effects and unique golden coloration - while benefiting from the improved density, frost production, and stability provided by the Star Pupil genetics. Star Pupil itself brings Thai, Afghan, and Pakistani landrace genetics to the cross, confirmed through genetic mapping, which adds complexity and balance to the final product. The result is a strain that maintains nearly all of its traditional Mexican sativa characteristics while being significantly easier to cultivate indoors than its pure landrace parent. Acapulco Pupil plants exhibit the classic stretch and long flowering period typical of sativa genetics, requiring considerable patience and space management. The strain is particularly noted for producing some phenotypes with stunning purple coloration inherited from the Star Pupil parent, creating visually striking plants that combine the golden tones of Acapulco Gold with purple hues.

Growing Information
Acapulco Pupil is a challenging strain requiring advanced growing skills with a flowering time of approximately 12-20 weeks (84-140 days). Plants exhibit massive stretch during the flowering transition and should not be grown too long in the vegetative stage. The breeder recommends sprouting them directly in the flower room in their final pots to manage height. These are very light feeders that perform best in small fabric pots with organic supersoil - plastic pots are not recommended. The strain can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments, though it requires patience due to the extended flowering period. Plants grow tall with medium to heavy yields when properly managed. This strain is definitely not recommended for beginners due to its challenging growth characteristics and long flowering time.
