Hola Lugo
Besides having the experience of colombian kids calling their cripi buds colombian gold, this is a thread about a strain called Colombian Gold 72 from Underground Seeds Co. The seeds were obtained around 2010 coming from an american grower probably California and the strain was made in France
Is your Colombian Gold any similar looking to this CG72 from USC?
Note the thread name is Columbian and you will probably find a lot more info if you type the name of a movie company from Hollywood called Columbia on a search engine
Columbian Gold 72
Hello all. Does anyone have any information on Underground Seed Collective Columbian Gold ‘72? Out of stock everywhere for a while, and I’m waiting hopefully for a restock. Any info on a drop in the future? Other tips will also be appreciated. Thanks on advance

otherwise you'll end up at 1 of the 29 'Columbias' in the US!
I will agree with funky on USC Colombian Gold being a good choice. It is clear that it is a old line by the looks and effects of it. No chunky buds to be found. No crash or sedation in the high.
All Colombian was not 'Colombian' even during the later 70's. Indica made it's way into some of the exports from a lot of the countries. There were still pure sativa lines coming out then, but I mean that some of it was not.

Thats funny, no offense but i'd like to see how on Earth anybody can prove that theory.
Well I have no proof as such. I did see more dense type buds and sedating effects in general as time went on. Lots of people did. The Colombian Red I had in '78 was about like what modern strains are like. Fairly dense buds with a good amount of sedation.
Colombian took off around 1975 as being the pot of choice and widely available. Prior to that is was rare and not so commercialized. Also selection for heavier yielding plants and shorter flowering times was something being done I am sure.

Thats surely possible in some way but I thought we were talking about an 'Indica' influence within the genetic.
I was talking about crossing the original line to indica, but also selection of plants for 'indica' type phenos. I read a book by a pot smuggler importing Jamaican weed. He got hold of indica seeds early seventies and got the growers there to mix it with the sativa they were growing.
The growers were thrilled to boost thc and shorten the flowering time with added weight to the buds.

No personal experience but the other day I saw people talking about this picture being similar to what the Gold looked liked when it eventually got to the States....
I must say the imagine in my mind created by stories of old timers was quite a bit more delectable looking. But hey don't judge a book by its cover. Even today my worst looking jar is the best one. Ok maybe the second worst looking one.
Pure Thai Sativas
i dont think clipseal bags were a thing back in the 70s and early 80s , i do recall buying ounces of weed , or bags of , in sandwich bags though , they just had a fold over top , some folks used to lick that to make it stick when rolled up I recently found a bag of my final outdoor Kumaoni...

Had a handful of that Columbian Gold 72 a while back, it was pretty old though, looking almost like in the high times pic of Colombian Gold, a tad chunkier. The taste and smell were really awesome, incensey woody livery with a slight touch of sour/lemon earl grey bergamot. The aroma stayed in the room for long and would get in your couch so if you sit down on it the next day it would emit a small whiff of yesterdays smoke.
The high was lovely but too dreamy for wake and bake or work though.

Hey man what's the book called if you don't mind? Sounds interesting.

Sounds more like something i'd like.
The herb was pretty old, around 3 years in the jar, might have something to do with the effect. Little stoney but still very enjoyable, i wish i still had some, pretty potent too.
