If not oldcoolsativa, here are two other choices I have found
Punto Rojo/Colombian Red - Heirloom - North Coast Genetics
Sold in packages of 5/10 regular seedsnorthcoastgenetics.com
Punta Rojo - Limited Release Landrace IBL - North Coast Genetics
Sold in packages of 5/10 regular seeds
I have never ordered from there or grown Punta Rojo, but I want too
They're just another Hype Op. They joined icmag answered a few questions and disappeared without a trace. Not to mention using other breeders photos and they don't even list their sources, much less provide barely any growing info. Talk about lazy. If they're gonna scam people the least they can do is be legit about it and finish their website

They succeeded in offering a variety of cultivars that were previously unavailable on the market. Although not perfect, they are legit, at least from a business perspective. Check Jade Nectar's Instagram at https://instagram.com/jadenectar, where he is cultivating numerous TLT landraces this season and documenting the process.

6 Weeks
Speaking of grow reports, here's an update on a couple of my favorites in the flower tent after six weeks of flowering on 11.5 hours of light.
Here's #12, she's always just "had that look" since she was a seedling. Predicted to be one of the faster plants based on preflower timing, her buds do look more developed than the others. She's a green pheno.
My bet is on PR #21 for a keeper. Green pheno, extremely vigorous, and the aromas coming off of the mother seed plant from which this cut was taken are really exotic - coffee and caramel, without a hint of sweetness.
Last is a red pheno, #28. Beautiful structure and buds.
I wish I had time to show you the other five plants in the tent, but trust me: they're all gorgeous. The NH x THH plants are much greasier and resinous than the punto rojo plants, with much larger calyxes. Clearly a Thai vs Colombian thing going on.
I plant to pollinate lower branches next week using pollen from three PR males and from a nice Nanda Devi male.

8 Weeks
Last week I harvested the 8 selected female seed plants that have been growing since June. They're scrawny bitches being underfed in such small pots, but I'm getting a decent seed yield. Seeds are mature and dark and really small, like a proper Colombian sativa. I snipped the apical buds from each plant so I can smoke test them against the sinsemilla versions that I'm growing from clones. Despite trying to hold off for a couple weeks to let them cure a bit, I couldn't help myself today and took one puff of the seeded top from PR #21. Happy to report that it's very good weed. The buzz is comparable to the Nevil's Haze x Tom Hill Have that I've been smoking lately. More smoke reports to come. Here's a pic of the bagged and seeded punto rojo getting its cure on.
Last night, after 8 weeks of flowering under 11.5/12.5, I turned off the fans and set about labeling and pollinating a lower branch on each plant with pollen from four different males: PR18, PR19, PR34 and a Nanda Devi. So that's 24 1:1 punto rojo pairings, and F1s of punto rojo x nanda devi from 8 different females. I'll have lots of seeds to play with. The seeds will have plenty of time to mature because I can't see any of these finishing in less than 14 weeks.
I snapped some 8-week-flower pictures of my favorite (for now) females...

Amazing seeing them grown untopped or untrained.
They have an old school pokey look to them.
Very wild looking.

As I was harvesting the seeds (by hand) I noticed the aroma coming from my fingers after collecting seeds from PR #20 was pine. I mean, not like a little touch of pine, or pine-sol cleaner, but more like stick your nose on the stump of a freshly felled yellow pine tree on a hot summer day. It was a really intense piney smell. This makes me happy, because I remember pine aromas coming from the sativas I experienced as a youth in the 1970s. It also reminded me of this spreadsheet and graphic I put together a few years ago...

At 13 weeks I snipped a small bud from each of the eight punto rojo plants in the flower tent. Here's what they look like 12 hours later.

That's a thing of beauty. A throwback to a time when primo herb from tropical climes looked like that. I also seek those phenos. Closest I got in this grow was PR19, a male. I'll proginy test him this year. I hope it smokes as good as it looks.

My punto rojo looks narrower than it is, it folds the blade of its leaflets as if forming a "V" shaped channel.
I have a Uhkrul pheno that is more august than leaflets, very beautiful leaf
