Everything is close, Paipa the town is 10 - 15 minutes away. My wife and kids live there and just about everything you could need is in town. Grocery stores, hardware stores, restaurants,even a small airport. And the main road to Bogota goes through Paipa so catching a bus to Bogota and the international airport is an easy two and a half hour trip. The finca is pretty big but it's not remote or really rual. I like it here but when I relocate later this year I want to be near the river at a slightly lower elevation.

I'd like to test your sativa hascich, it must something very different from classic one with a balance of THC/CBD who make this mellow high. With a sativa like yours I guess there is no CBD at all or very small dose if it's there; so the high of your hasch just be a wild ride.
Do you age it or not really? It can change its taste and texture to let it cure for a few months.
That's a bold move to go live in a country like Colombia when you have grown up in the USA or Europe, it must be so different culturally on a daily basis it's not easy to adapt I guess.
Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your experience in this great country.
ps: There is a cannabis grower YouTube channel with a nice following from Colombia, Homegrown TV or something like that. They are focused on modern hybrids not old school landraces and heirloom.

Good questions and comments man, thanks. As far as ageing/curing I use the common method of glass jars and I do that until it's gone. I like flower cured up to a year and hash indefinite. But most of the time I either consume it or give it away before having it for a year.
Could be CBD in some of my varieties, I don't know because I'm not interested in laboratory quantification.
But yeah I know Dakota (Homegrown TV) I met him at the cup in 2022 Santa Marta. He pressed some rosin and we dabbed a little. Really nice guy but busy, I believe alot of his subject matter is indoor/modern because that's where the sponsors money is at. He's an expert grower, I've smoked a few of his grows. Dakota is a really nice guy and doing well in the market here, I wish him success. I understand that there's not a lot if any interest in domestic varieties here. The world is different and with everyone watching the same YouTube demand and interest change like fashion. But none of that means much to me here at the finca where I do my thing.

The crazy Djamba is getting better with a little cure. The taste is a little richer and the effect more complex and enjoyable.

The Samora F1 (my favorite phenotype) just gets better with cure. The smell has almost completely changed and now has like a cleaner aroma. The effect is still bright and interesting but not overwhelming, nice and refreshing.

This beautiful pollenated flower is from my neighbors gentics. It's an interesting cross that I'm eagerly waiting for him to give me the details on. But it's ACE Killer Malawi pollenated with a Colombian he sourced himself in Santa Marta (2016). But it's not new to me but this is the first one I grew (actually still growing this is a test bud) and I really like this cross. I'm looking forward to growing the seeds.

Súper sticky Muisca sift, very fragrant with sweet floral aromas. Clear exhilarating high that is the essence of the Muisca from Boyacá Colombia.

Good things are coming my friends, stay calm.

Love the wheat top look of the Djamba? So distinctive from the rest of the sativa stable.

Destroyer - colombian wacky weed dominant, slightly sweet with floral/perfumy dirt/humus notes.

 

[red rider]

Ahhh yes destroyer, man that is good stuff and the sift (or bubble)is on a whole different level. Back in 2016 we grew a couple really nice destroyer plants in Bogota. Huge harvest of stacked buds of powerful sativa. We had such a big yield I ran some through the tumbler and pressed rosin. Really good stuff that destroyer.

Colombian Redbud (Samora)
These flowers were cured a little different than my smoking bud. Turned a rich red color and changed the smell and taste to a musty woodsy flavor that is undoubtedly "lumbo". Reminiscent of the finer Colombians of the distance 1970s.

Looks very good
How is the high?

When I first smoked this hash, I felt like this: https://shorturl.at/yAX27

 

[red rider]

The Samora cured in a more traditional format (I'll get into that later) is kind of fermented but not like cob. The unburnt smell is woody and pungent almost a rust type aroma. The is smooth for about 10 seconds and then it expands causing a cough even after exhale. The coughing brings the effect on and it's heavy sedating but not sleepy, more like a tranquilizing trip. Once in full effect it takes your attention and as time flies. It's very euphoric and can cause a little drowsiness if smoked through out the day. I like it and it's reminds me of the killer redbud I remember.

More cured Djamba, still has that leather chair smell and taste just a little softer. The hits nice and not as racy. Although not my favorite it's very popular here. Unfortunately being popular here doesn't mean much monetarily but I'm not in it for that.
When the rainy season started I was very happy after four months of pounding sun and cloudless days. But eight weeks later it's enough rain.

It's dark and cloudy, high humidity and low temps. We have had a couple sunny mornings but rained everyday since March. Nice and green now though.

Hey Red! Is that a bit of mold on the bud on the left?

 

[red rider]

Yes, I kinda "sweat" cured those Samora flowers and could be some mold. I took the flowers out and air dried them but I didn't see anything. Rainy season here now too so really got to be careful drying.
I was in town today (Happy mother's day) and there was an interesting festival going on. Oddly enough today is the annual sheep shearing festival, and sheep parade.

I had just smoked a little Muisca and for some reason this entire event seemed ridiculous. I couldn't stop laughing as

they were playing music and dancing as they paraded around with these sheep.

It was great, and many entries. Then I met this vendor and he turned me on to some of his sativa.

Blurry picture but pretty good weed. Pure local sativa as far as I can tell, simulator in potency to the Muisca but not as good. Dude told me he has a finca outside town where he grows onions, potatoes, carrots and Mora (black berries). Very friendly guy and I hung out with him while the sheep parade was going on. I gave him a nice bud of Djamba and some seeds to try.

This is a friend of ours here in Paipa. This lady makes and sells tinctures,creams and assorted shit from cannabis and Coca.

Her husband is an interesting guy, he's half Dutch and half indigenous Colombian. He speaks perfect English and grows cannabis. I haven't seen him for over a year but I remember his flower was good.

Of course the big town party is tonight but I won't be there, way past my bedtime.

Tomorrow is a holiday so the party will probably go all night into tomorrow. Colombia's love to party and it's good to see the happy people.

Thanks for those nice pics and great looking herb and happy people, red. You're a lucky man to be there. I'd like to try those buds of yours.

I love seeing what life is like in far away places-the culture, the herb......
Thanks Red! This is is the best thread on the website!

I've always had this dream and I still do, that once I found the right place here I'd have a destination for true sativa lovers. I'm not talking about mainstream consumer tourism. I'm talking very small scale, very exclusive, experience focused.
Paipa is the place, it's the country but with city amenities and the climate is perfect year round. This area is rich with culture as has everything to offer but is unknown and underated.

Local vineyards produce world class wine.

We (my wife and I) have been working with the mayor of Paipa and the local hotel coalition to bring canna tourism to the area. We are advancing and I hope this year to have some guests.

One concern visitors have and rightfully so is security. Colombia is a dangerous place and tourist have been recently murdered and constantly robbed. But here's the deal the tourists that come here and get robbed and murdered are the tourist I don't want here.. Pedophiles and coke heads can go somewhere else or get what's coming. In our area no tourist was robbed and no murders. Secondly people that I know that come here are protected by my family and trusted friends. So if someone wants to go crazy and party on the streets, someone (cool) will go with you to make sure only a good time is had.
We are constantly meeting new good people in different locations to provide safe and cannabis friendly destinations for those whom want to see all of Colombia.

Of course I recommend folks wanting to visit Colombia to make their first stop to be at my place.

Smoke some world class rider grown mountain sativa while looking out over the valley below.
There's so many cool things to do here and once you meet the people you'll fall in love while developing friendships for life. Of course I'm still working out details but I'm hoping to have some fantastic pictures of some very happy guests this year.

Maybe ICMAG would be interested in some ICMAG tours for certain events coinciding with special harvests and/or local festivals.
Take a couple days to get use to the altitude and plan an adventure. Just a thought.



More to come
