Vintage Colombian

- Start date
Of course I will continue to work with the Colombian genetics and I believe that to be the draw for certain tourist. But I would like to offer other what I consider old school varieties and concentrates. Narrow leaf tropical varieties that only do well here, old Mexicans, Jamaican, Sierra Leone, Malawi (cobbled?) And other non modern hype type stuff I already grow. But like I said I'm just thinking and talking now because technically it's still illegal. I've been told (might be bs) by a couple hotel owners that the Mayor of Paipa could do something to make sales legal in Paipa. But I don't know, anyway I've got the finca now and kinda stupid not to do it.

Fresh Kamora buds slowly curing to perfection. I'm really happy with the Kamora, it's my new favorite surpassing even the SMG bubble. I like the power of the hit that doesn't burn me out.
If I were arriving for a Colombian holiday, this is what I'd like to find waiting for me.

An old picture taken in Bogota in 2006. It's some nice sun grown flower I grew from seeds in buds from the coast. The seeded bud was typical pressed Colombian with the distinct smell and taste. My plants from the seed produced narrow leafed tropical buds that I carefully pollenated with the males that came up. I wouldn't have a chance to grow out the F2s until 12 years later.
I used this SMG F2 in the Malawi Haze cross (MHZ x SMG).
I like the hit although not super potent, it's refreshing and brighter.

Nice rainbow this morning. I noticed that the guys building my greenhouse used some type of chemical herbicide. Don't know what it is or why they used it knowing that I don't use any type of chemical. So I'll figure out what's going on this morning. But it's shit like this that constantly keeps me in a red ( pardon the pun) mood. It's one thing to not know and use chemicals but I just talked to them like two days ago. Anyway I made a little Kamora sift.
It's pretty crude (dirty) but very sticky and aromatic. I pressed it in my hand and made a nice piece of hashish.
I like it, nice smooth hit that reminds me of Beachnut gum. The effect seems a lot heavier than the flower but delightfully simulator.
I'm going to go talk to the farmers calm cool.

It's incredible the amount of bull shit that's served up around here. So yesterday I see the guy mixing the herbicide at the water spigot and ask him what's up. He says he's killing weeds and I'm calm asking him if he knows what I do. He says yeah smiling, you grow the marijuana. Trying not to be offensive I say I can't have any chemicals used on this farm. I'm getting irritated cause dudes just grinning at me. I go on to say that the finca owner and I are partners I a legal cannabis project. Now my Spanish isn't very good but I explained well enough however as soon as I turned around the spraying continued. I went back into the house to find the power off.No big deal, I thought it would only be off for a short time. My wife assures me that it's programed from the electric company for maintenance (?). It's daytime and I start working on other things not concerned about the power.
About noon I realized not only do I need power for the cameras,the security system and internet but also for the electric water pump. No water ok no problem I go on doing my thing and all of a sudden everything lights up. But it's only a trickle not enough to reconnect. The alarm comes on and a voice in Spanish is telling me to check the control panel. From 2pm until 8pm this goes on and off until I unplugged everything. 24+ hours later still no full power. Not in a real good mood this morning I see dude out there spraying again. He's out in the strawberry patch but I know he's spraying the herbicide. So I march out there pissed and start demanding he stop immediately. He just stands there smiling and I feel like destroying his sprayer. But he doesn't understand me so I cruise back up to the house. Smoked a nice bowl and messaged the finca owner who was concerned (no cameras for 24 hours) . I told him the deal and he said he would talk to the farmers and tell them no chemicals. So now I'm a little more chill but still pissed about no power.

Part of living on a somewhat remote farm is the occasional power outage. It even happens in the city sometimes, I'm familiar with it. Now it's been about 42 hours since the interruption. The power is not competly off but only a trickle making it more of a pain in the ass. It's not just my finca but the whole area.
About 5:30am is when I like to have the first coffee and smoke. The temp's around freezing but I like it and it warms up quickly.
I had a few little plants I was vegging at night in the tent. My plan was to cut the lights in about two weeks. But now that they've had a couple nights with no supplemental light I'm just going to let them flower.
I'm going to have a party when the power comes back.

Finally got the power back on. But I had some flowers quantified and I was kinda surprised what my beloved Kamora came back at. Like 12% THC 3% CBD and 4% CBG. I really thought it would be higher THC and no idea where the CBD came from. The hit from the Kamora to me is potent and and really good up high. Very strange and really I don't like quantifications, they don't make sense. Anyway I'm seriously considering relocating again. Ruth doesn't like this finca and it's so cold and windy here I want a better climate. Of course Ruth wants me to return to zipacon to work at her facility there but not me. I had enough of big growing last time there. I don't work well with others and I don't like having thousands of plants. So complicated trying to make everyone happy, sorry to be an asshole but I'm only going to do what I want. Once I find out what I really want to I'm doing it, for now I want a good summer harvest (December through May) here at this finca. I started some Paipa sativa seeds and some other nice narrow leaf plants. Was a busy day today but productive.

That sounds like a good combination from a medical perspective. I find that THC content doesn't mean much in terms of high. I had a great variety that was 6/6 THC/CBD that got me a lot higher than the cannabinoids suggest, and have also used strains with much higher THC that seemed mild. It's a complex plant. I suspect there's a lot of things that make up the high that we don't yet understand.
What is Kamora? Is that a region in Colombia, or from elsewhere?
Great thread. I look forward to the updates.
Well the quantifications were done using some new technology Ruth has bought. Little desktop machine that takes a flower and anylizes it in about 15 minutes. No idea how accurate it really is. Anyway I know what works for me and that's all that really matters.
Kamora is just a name I have for a line I've been working with for the last few years. No Colombian genetics in it and certainly no high CBD genetics.
I've been smoking only the Kamora F2 plant exclusively since harvesting and still not tired of it. I get a complete (good) experience every time I hit it.
The new greenhouse is under construction and I believe by October I'll be prepping it for some nice summer ( December through May) flowering.
Ruth wants me to continue trying to reverse her registered clones for fem seeds despite not having much luck with it. I need the bread so I'm going along with it. Not really sure about alot of things with Ruth but I believe they're mis labeled some of the mothers. There's nine varieties and some of the CBD lines ate closely related so this should be expensive to sort out. Hindsight is always 20/20 and 3 years ago when I was in zipacon I constantly pressed for a simple UPC labeling system but guess what, they didn't employe one. Now it's a problem. I'll help Ruth out trying to sort out the mothers but not one word of advise.
Anyway I got a new friend from Hawaii coming to visit us down here next month. I don't really know the guy but I enjoy his enthusiasm and good vibe. I believe he's really going to enjoy the best Colombian experience and maybe help me set up and grow some tropical sativa.
Due to the 3 day power outage I'm flowering some new Samora ( Caribe x Kamora) and hoping to find something interesting. Still working on the hotel sales but got distracted by Ruth's trama.

Nice and sunny early this morning.
But the reality is no real rain for over ten days and this is a problem for food crops. The farmers have set up some irrigation systems but I'm hoping for rain.
Fog rolling up from the valley, but it burns off quickly (unlike Zipacon).
After giving too much thought to quantifications I came up with a question for Ruth. I asked her if she ever tested the same flower twice (one of the features of her equipment is that it doesn't alter the sample). Because I have a strong feeling the same sample would have two different quantifications. Of course Ruth hasn't replied to my question yet. My feeling is testing plants should only be a crude guild line for potency. Testing finished product is accurate within a freshness date. My way of testing is trying (repeatedly if good) if I like it you will too. I don't test CBD plants for obvious reasons.

Well had a cow wonder into the strawberry patch this morning.
Wasn't any damage but was out of the ordinary. I spoke with farmer guy that came to get the cow and was asking about my plants. I said they're doing ok but I have to move them into the house when it gets windy. It's small community of families around here and everybody knows what's going on. I think their watching me to see if the weed will grow here and how. Or could be my imagination and they don't care what I'm doing. Either way I'm not worried about them.
This is going to be my greenhouse, no idea when but happy to see the frame. Old school and basic is how I want it. If everything falls in place we'll be flowering some Paipa sativa along with some other tasty treats starting this December.
Tomorrow the wife wants me to go to a meeting with the mayor of Paipa to complain and the water cost increase. So we'll see what she says (the mayor) and I'll bring her a nice sample of THC tincture. Good news is we've had some nice rain showers along with some thunder storms.
Four Samora (Caribe x Kamora) and one Sierra Leone.

Pretty sure it's the latter.
Though if you meet enough success, then the interest will follow.
