Lugo, have you grown any of the european releases of colombian genetics? Your descriptions of it match my experience growing them
I have never heard of something called colombian gold until recently when I came back to SA and started growing and reading these forums. In Usa you can see pictures in the magazines from the 70s and a lot of different experiences about colombian gold, it is interesting, was it a Usa only crop or it was the generic name given to colombian weed like Punto Rojo in the southern cone?
What arrived to the southern cone in the 80s from Colombia was called Punto Rojo. If it was Punto Rojo or something else i dont know. It was brick. A small pinner containing about 12 little tokes would put 4 people with 3 tokes each on a 4 hour trip almost like mushrooms. Red eyes, Robin mask, it wasnt sociable, everybody could see you were very high
So is this high Punto Rojo or Corinto? I never heard of Corinto nor Mangobiche nor anything else. The only thing we heard in the southern cone from Colombia was called Punto Rojo
I read the first cannabis grown in South America was in early 1500's in Quillota Valley, Chile
And you have here a paper talking about the cannabis trade in Chile during XVI and XVII centuries
And jesuits built their economy empire with hemp and they were travelling around the viceroyalties including the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada so cannabis has a history of more than 500 years in South America
The first time I saw a real bud was in 1987. A chilean friend brought something from his country and shared. It was the first time I heard the word cogollo. At that time we called it marihuana, today that bud belongs to a strain called chilombiana which is real colombian weed adapted to Central Chile. Not many people saw buds at that time, all trade was brick
This thread is about paraguayan brick, I was rolling my spliffs on the magazine cover of the first post. The stuff from the 80s is gone, at least not available for mortals. It got hybridized beginning 90s. The old paraguayan had many leaflets, from 13 to 21. The more leaflets, the more potent the plant was. If you find it, I want to grow it
So the thread is from 2009. Now you can read a dossier from 2017 about paraguayan weed which is not really changed from what is happenning today

What you should find from modern paraguayan brick is a lottery. A lot of diversity and many intersex. I have not seen the leaves of paraguayan 80s in any picture. And it seems grown indoors paraguayan suffers same inbreeding problems like haze
Thanks everybody for your posts, very interesting comparing the different realities in the continent, north and south.
If the south american 80s high is still alive, I want to grow it. It is the only thing that interests me in cannabis and it is very hard to achieve this seed.

Brick Weed - How it's made
I found an interesting article from an Argentinian Canna Magazine that details the trip of a journalist to a huge Paraguayan plantation. He added photos and descriptions of how the "weed" is harvested and handled/pressed. Apparently they are trying to say that no ammonia is added at the point of...
