🇵🇦 Panama Red 🔴 High Times 1978

[Lugo]

Ran across these beautiful images. I'm so going to make that chicken foot bowl!

Now what I remember personally was that the flowers had the longest red hairs I had and have ever seen. Like little red guitar strings probably owing to a somewhat rocky terroir. I was too young to even contemplate flavor/scent but I do remember it was spicy/salty and would make you drool and the high was (as cliché as it sounds) groovy

This is Panama Red
spark one up for carépiña !!!

I remember seeing that chicken foot in high times. I can't remember my grandkid's birthdays but I remember seeing that chicken foot pipe. When that mag came out you could get 10 years in prison for an oz of weed. Being a smuggler back then was very dangerous. Just getting caught with a High Times magazine could cause a lot of problems. Seeing Panama photos made everybody months water. Thanks for the thread.

It gets better, recently found a so/so documentary that has somewhat recent color photos of the original plant itself which was found in a very degenerated, scraggly state.

Im not sure if most people are aware that Panama was once part of Colombia.

I am of the opinion that Panama Red is really Punto Rojo in a different, rockier, saltier coastal terróir. This can be confirmed by historical and contemporary descriptions of Panama Red describing it as musky, peppery, spicy. It is not a far-fetched concept but i'm sure some folks (especially breeders and seed makers of said line) would disagree.

I have real 70s panama red seeds collected by me while stationed in panama. One of our co-op members will be doing a preservation open pollination of her this summer - we are not breeders - we simply do open pollinations as preservation of some old lines that we would like to pass on to the community. Will post when they are ready as to share - veterans take top priority followed by legit preservationist - that’s neither here nor there as the beans won’t be ready for a bit.

I’m not a breeder however I happen to hold really old lines of both - there are differences - could the differences be Pheno related I do not know - I’m not a breeder - due to proximity of the two countries it is highly feasible that the same strain evolved differently due to some environmental influences such as soil differences etc

Yeah, those old High Times magazines have some great bud porn. Young folks might not understand us drooling over these scraggly buds, but they don't know what they missed. Thanks for posting the article!
