hola red
indeed, i don't know if i told you but i finally got around to getting some blueberry.
it was real good let me tell you, the smell was not strong, it was nice, sort of like incense. the taste was great and the high was clear and warm. but too fucking expensive, ridiculously expensive, u.s and e.u prices, crazy shit... but i bet we can grow better buds outdoors, we just need to find the right strains. the colombian bag seeds i have been growing give a real nice bud, but the blueberry was different, actives the munchies a lot less than the colombians for sure lol which takes me back to colombian black, although it sounds interesting, i don't know if i would want to smoke a sativa that sedates and puts to sleep. although potentially useful for medicinal purposes.
anyone know more about 'corinto' ?

Hola Paz! Yes I remember you telling me about the BB from Colombia but I never heard of it from anyone here till the other day when I called my nephew in Medellin and he told me about it. He was really excited about it and said it was in a whole other class (Indica) then his local Sativa. But I think him and his friends really like the new strains cause their new, he is the one I got the best Colombian I have had yet (Punto Rojo) and if he thinks the BB & AK are better I want to see it. I've never smoked BB or AK but the Punto Rojo was/is some of the best weed I have had here or anywhere else. Anyway we will find out soon enough.
corinto If you buy brick(weed) around here its (depending on the time of year) corinto. I like it and I did get a hold of a real good batch one time, kept and grew out some of the seeds. To me the grown out plants were much better then the original but that could just be due to curing. I really like the Gold and what I call "coastal" green Colombians a little better because the high is kind of cloudy and un focused in the corinto I have compared to the cleared more thought provoking other two. Corinto to me is basic good Colombian, it smells good, it taste good and takes you right where you want to go every time.

"Oriental Plains (llanos orientales):
"You can find here many types of sativas,my favorites being the black colombian.Same as the other sativas,it developed really thin leaves (maybe because of the heat and amount of light).Very,very dark in color.Almost black.That´s why it´s called "CAFUCHE".Not very good in taste or smell(it´s like the hairy armpits of an overworked colombian hooker)but hell,it can knock you off..."

hola raco, i sure wish aldous were to come back.
but i am sure he would be right about this information.
i have a friend who also has been telling me how he saw huge fields of literally black cannabis plants around the llanos orientales of colombia, these are literally boardering venezuela. aldous and i at one point decided that some of the colombian bag seeds i was growing were cafuches (colombian blacks). imo these are very strong plants, but the high is very narcotic, mine flowered well at around 80days, not 150days, i have noticed that after 80days, the texture of the buds change a lot, it starts to feel more like a dehydrated plant with resin and stunted growth, although she will keep eating up nutes and becomes darker and darker, but not bigger nor more resinous in my experience. i just recently harvested one, they get very purple to black but remain with some green. the other possibility is that the seeds i have are a cafuche dominant hybrid too.
check out the best pic i have of the last one i harvested about a week ago:
these is the same strain, but different plant, at around day 60 of flower, it gets darker as tempts. go down too.
edit: btw, most of the colombian commercial that comes here originates in the area of the oriental plains of colombia, as opposed the highlands of santa marta where the stuff that i like comes from, this stuff is hard to come by around here since there are too many check points along the way.
sadly!
ridiculous how cannabis is illegal...
peace.

Great info.
Great info.
Raco, I've talked with Aldous a few times but never met him in person. I haven't seen him around here for awhile either, I hope all is well with him.
As far as the CAFUCHE I don't think is the same strain my nephew is talking about cause he called it something else and this come from the mountains near Manizales in the "Caldas" department of Colombia. I am sure they have something similar in the "llanos orientales" (eastern plains).
Great Colombian facts Raco thanks for sharing!

Zamalito, will you be moving to Brazil soon? My son lived in Caba Frio for a while and spoke some Puertoguese, but not fluently. He said the the ganja around Rio was controlled by crime gangs and was hard to get. The cops bust all small growers they can and bleed them for as much cash as possible. The cops are crooked as hell there and the penalties or growing are holdovers from the old military regime(horrific).
Yeah I don't doubt that, pops. I'm going to be following luiz's lead as far as that's concerned. I don't have any intent to sell herb in brazil, just smoke and make seeds. I wouldn't even consider it without lu's help and he's lived there his whole life. I'm still very nervous about some things.
Paz, I wonder if the smaller container may have sped up the flowering on those possible cafuche's.

zamalito, i have no idea, could be possible?
so you are moving to brasil? that's cool man don't worry about anything weird, you won't get thrown in jail and tortured, forget about it. brasil has beautiful people, just takes time to understand them, they can be hard but you will get moving and adapting soon, make friends with the locals, be ready for whatever.
stay good.
much peace!

Aw shucks, there's no turkish prisons a la midnight express in brazil, eh? ....Oh well
Yep I'll be moving to brazil. Not immediately but soon. I'm going to intensely study my portuguese. I keep hearing stories of how south america has chewed up and spit out better men than I but both here and elsewhere I've met so many wonderful people from s. America that without question it seems like the place I should be.

hey redrider.... i was wondering if your columbian gold in that pic on the last page had a sweet smell almost like brown sugar when first picked. I ask because, two years ago i grew a random bagseed and the finished product looks like your post. The plant took forever to flower over 125 dayz if i remember correct.

Hey there South American connoisseurs!
I just returned from a local coffeeshop and I spotted some Ecuadorian "Quito" export weed on the menu. Doe anyone have any info on Ecuadorian strains and more specificly what this weed might be...?
I'm intrigued... Thanx in advance for any help, much appreciated. I might go back to buy some if it has any seeds inside.

Please please please pick it up and keep some seeds if there are any, mad scientist. I love celestial temple sativa which is also a coastal mountain ecuadorian. One of my favorite highs from non mexican herb. It's also very inspiring to see south american herb in coffee shops. What coffee shops carry imported herb?

This Gold like alot of the local seeds I've grown out here doesn't seem to have much smell to it at all, not in growing or after its cured. When its burnt it has a fresh "Colombian" taste, I don't know how to describe it but it's a classic reminding me of days gone by with every hit. This particular plant flowered for six months before I harvested her and she could have went longer.

¡Oye oye! I had no idea that the famous Celestial originated from Ecuador. Only know of the name, never seen nor smoked it before. I'm having dinner at the mo, but I'll head for the shop immediately afterwards. The faintest hint of this potentially being something special has gotten me all excited.zamalito said:
It differs. Some only carry local 'white' strains and some imported hash, some have more strains from the far ends of the spectrum like various types of haze and indica, as well as hybrids. I usually go to another shop for specialties, but there's this shop nearby that has 3 white strains, a lot of hash and... Thai brick, Superthai brick, Jamaican sinsemilla brick, Ecuador 'Quito' and they also have 'Africa' pre-rolled joints for sale. The 'Africa', whatever it may be, probably had a bag-appeal worse than the Thai and Jamaican, so they must have decided to make pre-rolled joints out of it. :wink: Generally speaking there's not many Dutch people who buy imported brickweed. Because of it's appearance with all the twigs, leaves and seeds in it everyone thinks it's sh*t. It's always the lowest-priced weed on the menu here, goes for €2,60-€3,20 a gram.
I'm off to the shop now. Let's see what this 'Quito' is all about... BRB...

Okay, just got back with over 4 grams of Ecuador brick. Sorry for the terrible image quality, but I had to use my phone since my cam accu's on the charger. 
After going through all the rubble I found quite a lot of seeds, of which most underdeveloped or deformed/cracked. But there are some 'dark' seeds though fortunately... In comparison to Jamaican brick this stuff looks a little greener. The Jamaican is just plain brown when you buy it here. It smells of mostly something hashish-like, but a lot 'greener' and a pretty sweet. The smell of the Ecuador has a hint of hash as well, but is fresher and greener than the Jamaican. But also a little less sweet.
I'm sipping on Jamaican now, but if it's of any use I'll gladly post a smoke-report on the Ecuador soon. Because it's pressed and fermented in a particular manner I doubt whether the taste will be anywhere near resemblence of the original air dried product, but maybe you can still make something out of it. To be honest, the Jamaican tastes of dead, dried, pressed plant. It is all in the head though. Nothing fancy about brickweed, but I sure hope the seeds will be.
Are there particular regions of Ecuador 'known' for their cannabis production? It rings very few bells here...
P.S. Don't want to continuously be sticking feathers up your arses, but redrider, I keep on being baffled by those unique pictures of buds I've never seen IRL before. Great work. All of yours...
