Colombian Landrace Sativa 2012

[BasementGrower]

Ive been smoking some really dark Columbian with only a few seeds here and there all week long. Its only $100 an ounce and stacks up against most dank in potency.
The effect is a bit dirty and gets you abit tired, while the medical weed I grow indoors is clear headed with 0 burnout.
But it gets you pretty cooked and tastes earthy/musky.
Not bad to smoke between crops.

another good reason to keep a few growers as close friends.. me and my boy help eachother out in between crops.. so that we dont have to smoke that cartel garbage.

i have a zip of some 100 n oz stuff that i bought in between crops a while back.. still havent had the opportunity to smoke it.. when i told my boy i bought it . he told me to drive over and hed front me an LB till the next harvest wen i could repay him..

works out good.. but now that im farther drive away . im hoping i dont need to smoke the 100 oz shit. honestly. stuff puts me to bed.. compared to smoking heady buds.. its terrible.

I could be wrong but the Colombian cartels don't export weed anymore, there's not near the profit in it compared to coke n smack. The bud I get here that's called "regs" is a domestic sativa that is traditionally cured and pressed and some of it is better than anything I've ever had up north. Trust me nothing can compare to a tropical high altitude grown sativa. But I'm dying to grow out my own again down here just because I love growing in the tropical sunshine. Here's a little blast from the past I grew out.

Punto Rojo

Punto Rojo

Here's a few old shots of some Punto Rojo I grew out a few years ago here in Colombia. It's very potent and tasty with a clean finish every time. The effect is not racy in anyway but will not nail you to the couch either. For me the real Punto Rojo is the perfect cannabis, it grows fast and strong and when finished the effect is well perfect.

When I was in Florida (Last Week) I got some import that they called Colombian. It was shown to me and I was asked if it was Colombian. I could not answer honestly so I just told them I didn't know. They are Brazilians, and they told me what they had was similar to what they would get back home in the past 10 year. I took pictures with my phone but they are terrible and you can't see any real detail.

I know that in Florida they still have imported weed there they called Colombian. It was pretty sad weed I have to say. Maybe a small amount better than the Mexican brick I have seen in the USA. I never kept any of the seeds.

Hi huligun, when I lived in south Florida (77) Colombian was the best you could get in most cases, now I'm sure it's not. What I can get here in Bogota varies from weak pressed buds (50,000COP alb.) to super fine named "cripy" (WW,BB, skunk) @ 5,000 a gm. What gets exported I have no idea since there's not enough money in it to make it worth the while or the risk. As you know the climate here is perfect for growing and really out of the hundreds of different plants I've grown out down here I never had a bad one. The seed from the really good pressed bud produces super fine sinsemilla grown out with care here but I don't think it would do as well indoors or at a non tropical location. Personally I can tell the difference between Colombian and any other kind of weed just by its smell and distinct taste (its very unique). I don't think the really good golds and punto rojos get out of the country anymore and their rare here now too.

Peace from Colombia!

Gourmet cannabis

Gourmet cannabis

Ok without going into already established detail, I would like to present my experience with Colombian cannabis. First had her in Texas sometime in the mid 70s before that all I ever had was poor quality Mexican. There was no comparison and I fell in love with it and its region of origin. Though out the 70s and 80s I had Colombian cannabis in Texas, Georgia, California, Florida, West Germany and Canada. During this time I was also exposed to the classics, Acapulco gold (and many other top shelf Mexican), Thai stick, and the best Hawaiians but they were rare and good Colombian was my mainstay bud. Then after the quality went it disappeared from my sources and I began to get stuff like RKS, US domestic sinsemilla, Mexican red hair sinsemilla and an assortment of commercial hybrids just like everyone else during this time. Basically I find the logic behind why Colombian grown cannabis to be of high or even superior quality cannabis is obvious, the climate. Intense equatorial tropical sunshine, rich volcanic soil at high altitude, what more could you ask for in producing high quality drug cannabis. I really have no idea where the original strains came from but I assume there are many places and that combined with the multitude of micro climates in Colombia, created some very unique strains. Due to the isolation of some of the growing regions in Colombia and the fact that I have recently had cannabis here identical to what I had 40 years ago, I have come to the concussion that these are pure Colombian strains. I do see imported strains being sold here but I can easily also find what I call domestic Sativa in its “traditional” form. And just like in the 70s the quality varies from poor (not weak but dirty effect) to stellar (super potent complex clean effect). The domestic is usually better than export simply due to being fresher and handled less, which is not to say there’s no good export but as a rule what you can buy locally is better than the stuff that’s mass shipped. However the best and rarest connoisseur Colombian sativa that I have ever seen or heard of is the fine sinsemilla I grew myself here in country. Here are a few pics of one unique specimen of a gourmet tropical sativa. I obtained the seed from a bud of the domestic sativa, very clean long lasting trippy effect. The pressed bud was an outstanding representation of fine Colombian sativa but shadowed in comparison to the high altitude grown sinsemilla I grew from her seed.

Beautiful Alpine morning.

Colombia's finest Sativa

More to come.

Beautiful red rider. Columbian & Thai are still my favorites. We will be finishing some of these in a greenhouse this year. Well worth the wait for these beauties. Peace

Thank you red rider. That picture series should be mandatory
viewing for pot snobs or at least those that judge a strain by
its looks. Great herb is great herb, whether it's pressed or seedy
or a little abused. All herb will shine and express unique characteristics
when loved and cared for. The point is to choose the effect you want,
not be sold on looks and smell.

Paying for pretty is petty.
Paying for proper production and pursuit of potential in particular pedigrees is presumable....
.....BUT, I believe abundance is the natural progression and will put MASSIVE pressure on price, so, whatever.

Swag is swag and I've had more in the form of pretty, stinky nugs
than I've had from pressed, seedy, and brown import.

But that's just my preference. I wish import from those amazing
tropical climates was available at shops/dispensaries/collectives.

Effect eclipses exhibit. Expressions enhance experiences.

Thank you everyone, here is some super potent Colombian "Cauche" or Wacky Weed, Colombian Black, Colombian Chocolate, etc, etc, etc. It's grown in the western mountains and has a narcotic effect.

^what she taste like? i've got a paraguay descendent of choco colombo called choco chiba. i've got a few clones ready to go od soon. she smells faintly of chocolate grown id with no cure. very small samples. chocolate does cover the tongue after each hit off a clean bowl. energetic, potent narcotic high. i'm hoping a big bag of well cured od organically grown choco chiba will smell and taste profusely of coco/chocolate.

i've noticed that dna labs (one of the last holders of chocolate thai) has released no more choco thai hybrids, just strains like la chocolate that use chocolope (indica/ct). the chocolate colombos and paraguay choco chiba, choco colombian might make some new choco landrace genetics available for some interesting new strains with fresh real landrace genetics as their basis.

Corinto Monster

Ohhh the wacky weed, the bud in the grinder was from a very special sample I received back in 2006. It came in the traditional form but this stuff was sticky and to my surprise 100% seedless. I don't remember a lot about its smell or taste (heavy, earthy, spicy, hash) but the effect was overwhelming. Just a few hits put me down, this effect is not like an Indica couch lock but more euphorically tranquilizing. I remembered the effect to come on slow then build to a rich some times even spiritual (wake n bake with the sun coming over the mountain tops) peak, leveling off to a somewhat cloudy exit. Top shelf cannabis for sure, I still get samples from that region but none can compare to that particular sample.

Next I have a pic of a very common and popular Colombian Sativa, Corinto from the hills of Cali.

Peace from Colombia!

So this is the "colombian wacky weed" I've heard so much about? I wonder if this is the same as the Colombian Black sold by BCO.

Yes the bud in the grinder is indeed authentic Colombian "wacky weed". What BCO sells I have no idea but what I get here is the straight up real deal. I'm sure most know or have heard of 30 meter hashish (called that because it never makes it more than 30 meters from where its made) its the same thing here in Colombia. The really good stuff never makes it out of the country.
Here my little coastal green trifecta seedling, I really thought nothing special till it started flowering. This little seedling grow into one of my best plants yet!

Well I going to take a little break from the Sativa (I still have a few different Ozs laying around). My local contact advised me of some uber good "cripy" so I'm going to test out an Oz this evening. I'm not real excited because most times when this guy calls me saying he has something special he really means he needs to move some quick. But sometimes he really comes though and that's what I'm counting on tonight.

Peace from Colombia!

That looks absolutely yummy. While I did quite a bit of business with Colombian ( 1978-1981 ) I never saw anything like that but I did have a few tons of fun with something that looked like cornflakes and had a licorice smell In Colombia, had something that was grown as a local thing on San Andres where I also had drinks of coca and sugarcane. The good old days.

Too much pain to travel anything but certainly I wish I could and SA is a place I'd definitely like to visit again.

 

[red rider]

Once again I end up with Sativa....granted this is some really nice (effect) stuff but I was really looking forward to some hybrid cripy. I'll take some pics of this, its said to be Corinto and it's really to soon to tell but the effect is great. Anyway back to testing.

Peace from Colombia!

Yeah I remember talking with you before, it's good to hear from you again. I understand Spanish and can speak just enough to get by but I do understand your post. Money is tight, I've been working like mad trying to get ready for the two month winter holidays. I hope things pick up for you and you can visit your family here (Cartagena), I miss Cartagena. Good to hear from you.

Peace from Colombia!

Corinto 4-20

Corinto 4-20

Last night I had a miscommunication with my Colombian friend, when he called I thought he had some extra special cripy when in fact he meant really good Corinto. Anyway this is some interesting bud from Cali, grown in that region. It did not come in a clump but is pressed and moderately seeded with small dark uncrushed fruit. Not a strong smell, like spicy incense, looks colorful with bud ranging from green to red and gold. The buds are long and narrow as opposed to the normal roundish nuggets I usually see. When burnt the smell and taste are like incense and hashish, almost sweet but not quite, beautiful hash exhale. But it’s harsh and the smoke expands causing my to cough a bit with every hit no matter how small. The effects onset is delayed by at least 10 minutes then comes on real quick in beautiful euphoric waves and heightened sense of well being. The first 40 minutes it makes me just feel good, happy and peaceful, and then I start to feel a little paranoid and racy. But what is strange and great about this is the effects exit are sudden and clean even after repeated re upping. I can see why my friend recommended this sample as it has a very nice taste and effect. Here are some new pics.

Not too seedy but there are a few crushed and white ones.

Really great taste but harsh, made for the water pipe with ice.
