Coastal Seed Co Oaxacan Colombian

Wow thats some serious vigor you got going on there!

Good looking girl!

Whats she smell like?

Thanks for sharing!
She likes her new pot for sure. I just got back from being away for 2 days and she's ready to give me more babies already 😁.

So all I have left is some shake and a couple scraggly little nubbs, but I took a couple shots of it... not much to look at, and as far as the smell goes now, there's just a hint of skunky, subtle old dry Mexican weed smell, if that makes any sense. When it was fresh, it was a beautiful skunky-ish, maybe light sandal-woody, not sweet flowery, woody (I know I keep using skunky, but thats really what sticks out) lovely weed smell. I couldn't stop sticking my nose in the bag. Maybe that's why what's left has no more smells.....
Here ya go.
I'd love to stick the mama outside and grow a tree, but unfortunately I've got super nosey neighbors.

Alright... so here's a follow up. I finally figured out something to do with the mama plant. She was up-potted 2 weeks after 12/12, she's about 4+ feet tall now and we're6 weeks in. The one on the left, that's a super stretchy purple haze/malawi.

Don't give up on Oaxacan. People hang on to it here and there. Copalita maybe not the be gold, but old school for sure. I wish I had some seeds to share. A member on IMAG was sharing freely some years back. I let it go. It felt like a soundly Colombian type high to me. Narcotic yet cerebral, without any couch-lock or heavy limb feeling. It was a floating around on air feeling. I'm looking for a more electric, clear type high, like Thai Sticks used to be.

Copalita Oxacan:

Ain't she a beaut!

I couldn't help myself when I read someone gave up on looking for Oaxacan. Copalita, a surfer town on the coast, but grown in the mountains, no doubt.

I don't want to be a downer but my instinct tells me that most of what we consider Mexican landrace is pretty much gone.

I don't know if people realize that just because something was collected at a certain place; like lets say Oaxaca, that's suddenly that old Mexican classic.

I see the same shit play out here in Colombia with things like lets say a 'Corinto'. Just because some fool acquired a handfull of god knows what they proclaim they've discovered a landrace.

A landrace that apparently survived through time being grown surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of commercial greenhouse growers pushing fast hybrids. Nevermind that most people had never even heard of it or these places until the last 2-3 years. They know who they are and they continue to hang on my every word the parasites but I digress...

In reference to Mexico I'm not sure if its just greed and profiteering from the person or outfit offering that or just willfull ignorance on the part of the buyer, trader, grower and/or breeder.

I think its a bit of both in equal shares, the common denominator being greed and prestige.

Ive felt this way for years (call me a pessimist) but understanding as much as one can about the speed and size at which Mexican agriculture works and changes with time wether it be legal or illegal tells me that finding a continuous uninterrupted line or population of Mexican landrace or heirloum is quite impossible.

Unless of course a family, group or even an individual has taken to the task of conserving these genetics for at least the last 30-50 years. Unlikely right?

But Mexico is huge, like they say "como Mexico no hay dos" so one never knows.

What I do know is that one single source showing up with basically every famous Mexican variety ever mentioned all in one shot is most likely BS.

The worst part is that the pollen chucker(s) that used these unverified genetics making any possible, marketable cross they could, give less of a FLICK about the authenticity and provenance of these genetics.

Much less the broker and much less the end grower who willingly falls for it and starts breeding with it, who is so far from the birth of the lie that he feels quite innocent and justifies himself with the whole "that's what they told me" routine .

Ive been exposed to and have reached out to indigenous Oaxacan growers in Mexico and even THEY don't have it so...

I'd say if you wan't a true background (at least late 80's-90's) talk to retired military or cartel personal everything prior to that is pretty much lost to history from what I can gather.

I hope I'm wrong!

PS this is just one mans opinion mind you.

I am sorry for your pessimism. Have heart, there are true Mexican strains out there. They probably won't be at your neighborhood seed chucker's but they are around. Example: I was given a strain called Huixtepec from that town on the border of Oaxaca that is exceptional. Beautiful taste, soaring high and a damned pretty plant.

You wonked about 'corinto'. I grew 5 out last summer that although they took 16-18 weeks are truly fine smoke. I happened to get the purple line and they vary between a cinnamom taste and an herb we call purslane (almost a celery like smell).

Good stuff can be found but talk to your bros not the seed whores. Example there is Snowhigh. He grew great stuff and for his own convenience stuck his plants in dry ice so he could shuck the seeds and make hash. What was never explained was that dry ice on seeds kills them hence the low to no germination. He collected a lot of money then disappeared.

Hang in there!

@Lugo have you dealt with this seedbank yet? They have a mango biche, supposedly a repro of Cannabiogens. Just wanted to ask since were on the subject of colombians


Hola Rob, CSI and crosses ive made is mostly what I'm running these days. I flowered a Mango Biche from CSI, enormous plant indoors, long flowering time. Caleb has real cuts of about everything noteworthy, and i have no reason to doubt legitimacy.

Right now, im running Ace Panama and CSI Panama Red, so far i think ive got a female from the Panama Red, several males. Maybe ill have them in flower soon.

No sir, actually ive never really purchased seeds and honestly i'd be hesitant to but ive seen the Cannabiogen MB and have had friends grow it in Spain and although it definetely is a gorgeous example ive never heard people rave about the high itself.

I didnt rave about the high either, seemed to be an agitated high, no chill, nerves on edge, not paranoid but aggravated in a sense.

Just the most sexy of lines...

I've chucked another 3 on to germ because I can't seem to countenance doing a grow without them, even though I was going to skip them this round. Nope, I need my snakes in the jar.There's one popping up already so they're still vigorous after a few years in the fridge.

Anyway, to get back on topic, if the coastal seed co line is anything like the red snake it will be worth running. I can't see how this pairing could go wrong really, it's two classic sativa lines with a great combined high.

I think ill pop some of the Oax x Colo after seeing this.
Currently running Oaxacan IBL from Heritage. 2 identical females, and one male which looks much different, vine like, slow growing, extremely thin leaves.

The two females look very highland, short stature, narrow leaves but not on the extreme end of the scale.

The pair of Oax Females

The male

Using strawberry pots to test out, and thats a male Jacks Cleaner 2 in the lil pot I will pollinate a few branches with simce the Oax male is so slow, i want to have a cut in case these are nice plants.

And this is Big Sur Holy Weed x COLOMBIAN from Coastal. Male and female. She smells like a sativa, quite squat plant though, i expected lots of vertical action. Has what i describe as
Gunpowder on the nose

I've read that the Oax x Columbian run 13-15 weeks flowering, which makes more sense than 70 days. I have a thread on trying to do a seed increase on this strain in a ridiculously small indoor space (all that's available for now)

Nice! Ill make room for them next. I just started 7 Big Bad Wolf from CSI (chem 91 x chem D). Anyone in the states wanting to.try CSI order direct, you'll get your money worth for sure. Throw in a request for freebies, especially 1st time ordering, ill bet you get it or something similar to what you ask for.
This Big Sur x Colo is taking its sweet ass time, 3 solid months already, idk how long honestly because i dont track those things really. Not the slightest hint on finishing anytime soon.

These Oax highland gold ibl are shaping up to be quite resinous halfway through, looks like the stretch is about done. Looks like i may have some nice Mexican growing

The Oaxacan is hitting the nose very well, im leaning towards wanting to say the best smelling sativa I've put my nose too. Both of them are something grapfruity, with one of them having a little something rotten mixed in. Still many weeks to go, but I'm looking forward to how they'll finish. Most sativas i do are either lemon or that Gunpowder smell which doesn't always taste that great, excited to be picking up something different here. So far the best smelling sativa for me is Ace Honduras Panama that was like pump gasoline from the 90's before they started watering it down.
