Hola LugoAnybody out there have personal experience with it? The older the better!
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
Thats funny, no offense but i'd like to see how on Earth anybody can prove that theory.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 surely possible in some way but I thought we were talking about an 'Indica' influence within the genetic.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.
Ever sun dried bud? Hell even drying under LED light... turns yellow.The Colombian Gold coming around in 1972 was very gold in color. Nothing like your bud photo. It was bright yellow and was great smoke.
Hey man what's the book called if you don't mind? Sounds interesting.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.
Sounds more like something i'd like.Sounds more like a hybrid. The old Colombian was a typical Sativa. Energetic, mentally creative. Everybody smoked and went to work. Better than a cup of coffee.
