There's a lot of bigger grows on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera de Talamanca, most of them are using seed from Colombia and more rarely, Panama. Most of it is low grade, but when it's good, it can be really good. If you have the opportunity to look at several batches you can find some really good seed there by doing that. Most of what you'll see over on the Carribean side will be that type of cannabis, Sattys of mostly low, but sometimes very good quality. Across on the western side in the areas of Jaco etc the expat gringos have taken over and there is a bustling little indoor sceen where you can score what we might refer to as more modern varieties - everything from rhino to triangle kush outa florida can be had. The locals will often refer to 3 common grades, Cajeta (mostly low grade brown seedy), Crippy (thank florida for that one lol, modern indoor), and this midgrade that they always seem to want to call Panama, maybe it is, not sure but sometimes this is the best buy and great hunting ground for new seed stock, in my experience.

Can't blame 'em. Kush abides.
From SE Asia to West Coast of
Costa Rica.

Perfect latitude and climate for
epic outdoor sativas, but...WTF.

What a crazy world we live in.
Maybe CAFTA will mean a comeback
for quality tropicals. Estate grown,
fair trade, etc, etc.....or not.

^ there it is ,, as accurate as it gets ,,on a more recent note...........jaco is a ghost town as far as the indoor sceen goes, one of the haze&bubblegum guys got busted, all their ops closed,,and only one of them still pushing his luck at another beach location............ the old school circles in jaco, and a couple good growers from neighbor towns, remain flying under the radar as usual. and have gone back to the old school~ :biggrin:....................... also note worthy is ... pachamama.. the grow store that opened in santa ana/san isidro/ san pedro... supplying countless fools with growing supplies , tips , and bud .... so now , there's an op getting busted every two months and pretindicas all over...

i'm lucky with ,abusiveOG.Wreck, NL, Smog, TK, SsH, Bubba.moon, NL.Sk,and Tarberry.chemD in my jars :biggrin:
