Interesting. I guess I was under the impression that these were routinely bred or reproduced regularly since 1972 by a loose collective of growers outside of Colombia. Either way, I'm gonna see were these plants take me. I hear the high is exceptional. And this will be my first time growing tropical landrace sativas. I just wish there was more truth and less marketing behind things. I like The Real Seed Co. They seem open, up front, and honest. I consider them authentic. But they don't have anything from the americas.

So glad mike is running them. I do not have the space indoors and have questions about my new neighbors, so no outside grow this year for me.
I still have eleven seeds but time will eventually take its toll on viability. Im keeping them in a dark fridge double pqckaged with gel packs, my freezer is an auto defrost. I heard that was a nono for seed storage? So im doing the best i know how to keep them safe. Would it be a good idea to vacuum seal the seeds before they get any older? They are in original packaging now, then in a plastic box, with alid with a gel packs

In my notes from 2004 I have them written down as from 1980 but I was told they were from a 1972 line.
PS> From what I see from growmore photos, the 1972 Colombian Gold and 1980 Colombian Gold are separate varieties / seed lots, with the 1980 Colombian Gold having both NLD long flowering pheno-types and shorter flowering with some BLD influence along the line. If I remember correctly, pure 1970's Colombian Gold has black pepper / frankincense/sandalwood aromas and the high from well grown CG can be clear, cerebral and trippy.

my note:
From various grow logs the USC - 1972 Colombian Gold and the 1980 Colombian Gold used in ColJam are separate varieties.

CG '72 Males
CG '72 Males
#2 Male - green type
Larger leaves, occasional double serration, serrations less sharp, leaves more unifrom
#3 Male - green type
Smaller leaves, frequent double serrations, sharp serrations, flowering tips prone to yellowing - wispy appearance. Leave start a little wide than thin out - more thin than #2 male in the end.

I got mine from regseeds. It came in the USC breeder pack. They're an authorized re-seller. Funkyhorse got some from the same place but he didn't get the breeder pack. He seems to think he got ColJam instead ... All his grew like clones apparently. I've grown four out so far, all males and all slightly different in one way or another. The other two I don't recall having double serrations but wasn't really paying much attention to that feature at the time. Only one (#3 male) had significant doubling. Also I grew them all outdoors in a high UV environment so maybe that's a factor?
So how many are you growing and what types are you getting? Anything that resembles mine?

I bought mine from regseeds. I havent ran any yet, i ordered twenty Seeds, two twelve packs. Planned to Run outside but new neighbors moving in next door changes that. We are legal and all but plants like that attract the wrong type of attention...and you know those pesky plant limits
My indoor grow is filled with hashplant clones at the moment.
Thats why i sent some to mike. He has several generations of wos columbian under his belt.

I have 4 plants, one sure female, the other still undecided. It came from Alchimia Grow Shop in Spain. I don't see any double serration on my leaves, apart from that it looks similar. Maybe it's induced by growing conditions ?

My 5 CG72s are about 2 weeks old now. I transplanted them into slightly larger containers (solo party cups) which they'll be in temporarilly while I await gender testing results from Phylos.
These are my first tropical landrace sativas and these plants were starting to look sad. I upgraded to a higher quality soil for them and turned on my second 100wt COB LED. So, now they are under 2 Optic 1XLs (100watts each) which are 3500k. I think they will be much happier. I also extended the photoperiod from 16 hours to 18 hours. What photoperiod do you folks prefer for these to veg?

What is the source of the ones you are growing?
Santa Marta natural photoperiod goes from 12.5-11.5 hours
If grown indoors I like a 14/10 period veg for SM strains and 11/13 for flowering, regardless if it is 72' from JGL or repro from his seeds or 80' or whatever yearful number as long as it is a Santa Marta strain from the 20th century
I hope it helps

I got my CG72 beans from a Underground Seeds distributor. Stannies or something like that. Maybe without the 't'. Because they shipped to the states. So, I guess those would be the JGL line, I think.

Hmmm I'm pretty sure they should be all ten seeds per pack. Are you sure you got 12? Did they come in the breeder pack?
