That picture looks ok in regards to CG. There was more than one version, so keep that in mind. I think you are thinking about the movie Acapulco Gold.
On the colors, I think you are right. To get gold color you have to have a certain plant to work with. That said, there was lots of fake or lower quality AG or CG I believe. Certainly with the AG. Treating the plants or dried material with chemicals to alter the color is another possibility.

In my experience the Colombian Gold 72 from USC has the typical incense smell.

Interesting red stems - does she "bleed" red when you take a cutting? I've heard some rare (very) Jack Herer's do that - which has some Columbian Gold in her heritage from the Skunk #1.

I heard Suncuring can break down clorophyll.. but in same time it lowers the cannabinoids. wich is a tradeoff..
so as i imagine it: slight fermentation combined with a bit Suncuring might be a nice compromise. As each process can be executed half the amount..
For me @Raco s bud looks like this Combination.?

I'd be interested to know what kind of genetics, environmental factors and curing process led to that beautiful gold color that Raco got. Mezz Mezrow wrote about the best quality weed he sourced from his connection in the 1920s in Chicago. It came from Mexico, was sold by Mexicans and it was called "gold leaf." So clearly, the art of making gold weed has been around for at least a century, yet is an almost entirely lost art.
This is a Great article
Much of the younger generation as myself who didn’t experience the imports of yesteryear only have the stories passed down , it’s great to see different experiences/perspectives and details of the strains from yesteryear
This article can come across as Great writing and imagination , but we need to listen more to these old timers stories . As some are just opinions but much of shared experiences are Clear Truth
The part /Fact Santa Marta Reds Early ones / Punto Rojos were grown in Santa Marta next to the Legendary Golds . It’s intriguing to hear
Knowing Charlie Garcia collected the best Oldest punto Rojo he could from Santa Marta to Tolima , in my opinion confirms the authenticity of both stories
The brother Bluebeard , who no one really conversed with or debated even when he questioned Sams on the Topic of Lumbos . He stated the older Colombians were actually as long and longer flowering than the Thais . Sayin the older Colombians were true Equatorial and Thais are not .
Saying in his experience the Haze he grew was Lumbo no sign of Thai and bleed red a true sign of Lumbo / the finer older Punto Rojo
He asked SamS specifically which lumbos were used , punto Rojo was never mentioned at the time . Sams mentioned wacky weed and Gold . Then later a 3way Colombian -magenta a green and lime green .
Well throughout the years details emerged or changed completely. I found the old post from Sams which talks about Haze being a 4 way sativa hybrid
What’s important is we share our experiences with the Community for the Next Generation to Learn from

Not my pictures.....but a recent grow of a very good old 70s colombian gold ...i think the lower picture is from a plant that may have gone abit longer than should....i think due to seed making or something....i do have the same but not tried it yet... supposed to be more earthy...no incense.

Sam said to me about haze those 3 lumbos he was saying was a guess after evaluating the line when passed to him...he was confident in his abilities....but admitted he dont know really....and anybody that says they know is just guessing.
Nice pics raco..bless
The bud in the lower pic looks roasted? lol
And many white stigmas...
Here's a bud from same cut ^^ also grown outdoors but in a different climate
Soo you had a private convo with Sams after he posted about the 3 lumbos ?
Considering you shared (he said it was a Guess) , I’m curious what more you can share of his thoughts further than his post ?
I’m interested in what could be this New version of Events.
I believe his Post was directed to me as I posted before him but he didn’t quote me , if I recall he usually doesn’t quote
The Anyone who says they know is just fooling themselves line from Sams is -
Incomprehensible to me , The story I told was second hand from G , the originator . How would the Originator not know what happened, or the man he Mentored ?
In that post you /I refer to
Sams 3 Colombians version Admittedly came from RL who admittedly was not there when G created Original Haze but joined up some years later because G’s interest in his Greenhouse
Then Sams mentioned j a Helper to G when he first Grew up in the mountains , told him all about the Hazes he never saw as Sams returned to SC in 72
I’m not a detective but that’s the Evidence and we have all the proof/ post not necessary to put up again
Soo who is Guessing Really ?
I’m Still waiting for that Pm Reply
