This is the most common pheno with the pink pistils and fluffy buds.

This is the other pheno(green one) with white pistils that turn brown and this one was twice as dense. Weighed half oz. dry and the pink ones were 1/4 oz. The other green one was fluffy and 1/4 oz. like the pink ones.

Here they are together. The green ones are in front to left.

These are the dense 'green' buds which do not look green now.

Close up of the green bud. These buds have been curing since May. They have turned more reddish and brown in that time.

I started chopping the 'pinks' at 80 days and the 2 greens at 100 days. I have just started toking the pink hair weed and it is a blast from the past. Reminds me of Colombian weed of the 70's. Very sativa and psychedelic with little body but not any paranoia or weird racing thoughts. Pretty laid back for a sativa and quite clear. I got things done on this with no problems. This would be a daytime or get things done smoke for me, but ok for nighttime use if sleep was not needed right away.

I had what I think were ph problems in veg and nute burn in flower. Without those I would think I would yield better but the fluffy ones are just going to be light no matter what. I had 100 actual watts (minus fans) of HGL LED overhead and one 55 watt pl-l vertical in center of plants. ffof with perlite and added Rainbow Mix Flower fertilizer for flower. I had at least 4 tbsp of the Rainbow per gallon of soil, maybe even 6? I used 4 heaping soup spoonfuls of the Rainbow instead of a real tablespoon. 4 tbsp is the upper limit for the Rainbow according to instructions and I think I got some burn from the guano.

Some say you can not over feed with organics as the plants take what they need. Also, I read that ph is not important. Well, for me those things are not true. I have to lower my water ph which is around 8.5 or am noticing bad effects.

I would say the most important feeling off this high was a sensation of 'floating'. It literally made me feel 'high'. Potency is good, taste is old school Colombian. I missed out on getting any Panama Red from the old days and had little Colombian, so this was a chance to try to get back to that. Panama Red was a popular song back then and I knew a guy that was getting a mega amount of it, but he 'disappeared'. Ever since then I have been thinking of it. So anyways, this is a good example of Columbian smoke imo. Have no way to compare to Panama Red.

I will get around to the green pheno soon and add a smoke report if it is different.

Im glad they are bringing back good memories :)

Your yield was quite nice despite the ph problems, and you are lucky to enjoy the pink haired indoors, it's usually a trait more visible outdoors. Your buds look classic panama! :yummy:

Thanks yesum for the great report! :tiphat:
