Identifier
The accession identifier is HCG-MEX-UNK-0120230001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
HCGstands for Hippie Cannabis Genetics. - Year 2023 is the year of the earliest dated mention of the line as the business's that was found: a post on the growers' forum Overgrow of 14 September 2023 (https://overgrow.com/t/the-central-american-landrace-and-heirloom-thread-part-2/99881/2961), in which the member names it "HCG AG". No source gives a collection year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and moves if an earlier record is found. Common Crawl's crawls of SeedFinder from 2019 to 2024 hold no page of the business, and the Wayback Machine's first capture of its SeedFinder breeder page is of 13 September 2025.
- Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from a first dated mention rather than a stated collection date.
- Province segment
UNK. The listing names no place in Mexico; the line's name refers to Acapulco but the description does not place the seed there. - Sequence 0001. It is the only accession of the business for this country, province segment and year.
Sourcing
The business's description of the line on SeedFinder (https://seedfinder.eu/en/strain-info/acapulco-gold/hippie-cannabis-genetics) was read on 8 October 2026 and saved. Every statement about the line's origin, plants, aroma and effect is the business's own account of its stock and is attributed to it. Overgrow posts are attributed to their authors by username.
The description names no collector, place or date of collection. The business's description of its Golden Haze names a "1969 Acapulco Gold" as one parent; no source says whether that is the stock on this page.
Country
The business calls the line "A classic Mexican cultivar", and the country is entered as Mexico on those words. The name Acapulco Gold is a trade name and is not read as a collection place.
Typing
- Classification: Other. The business's description of its stock is its own claim and is attributed in the article; a seller's listing does not establish the class of the source population.
- Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The listing gives no chain of custody from a source population to the seed on sale.
- Accession type is left empty: the listing does not say whether the seed on sale is an original collection or a reproduction.
- Traits. The flowering times, leaf shape, aromas and effects in the infobox are the business's own descriptions.
Grower reports
Growers on Overgrow disagree about the line. In June 2025 DainIronFoot listed it among the most disappointing lines they had grown: the plants finished in 10 weeks and looked to the member like hybrids, "definitely not landrace" (https://overgrow.com/t/most-disappointing-strains-youve-grown/191567/42). In May 2026 PineSoulBuddy wrote that the business had "authentic 20+ week Acapulco Gold" (https://overgrow.com/t/strayfox-growers/28122/2378). The business itself gives no flowering period. Neither report is used in the article, which gives only the business's description; both are on the organisation page.
DainIronFoot also pollinated plants of the line in December 2024 to make seed (https://overgrow.com/t/the-central-american-landrace-and-heirloom-thread-part-3/150518/1458). That is a grower's seed run and has no accession here.
Georeferencing
No point is given. The listing names only the country; the line's name refers to Acapulco, but a trade name is not a statement of where the seed was gathered.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The listing gives nothing about the size or status of a source population.
