These figures are ranges, not promises. Flowering time, harvest date and yield vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →

About Colombian Red
Genetics & strain profile
Colombian Red is a classic landrace sativa from the Colombian highlands — the kind of seed that came north in the 1970s and that most modern hybrids trace back to somewhere in their family tree. It is a photoperiod strain with 14 to 20% THC, moderate by today’s standards and deliberately so: this is a strain for people who want the old-school sativa experience rather than maximum potency. It grows indoors and outdoors. It is a new addition to our catalogue, so there are no customer reviews yet; the figures below come from our own grows, and we will add grower reports as they come in. If you grew Colombian in the old days and try it again, we would love to hear how it compares.
How Colombian Red grows
Like most landrace sativas, Colombian Red is tall and open with long internodes and slender, airy colas that resist mould better than dense modern buds. Indoors it flowers in 9 to 10 weeks with about 350 g/m²; flip it early, top it once and use a net, because the stretch after the flip is considerable, and feed lightly — landrace sativas burn easily on heavy nutrients. Outdoors it finishes at the end of October in the Northern Hemisphere, with about 400 g per plant. Because it finishes late, it suits gardens where the fall stays mild — southern Ontario and Quebec, the Niagara and Okanagan regions — or a greenhouse that can carry it past the first frosts; elsewhere in Canada, treat it as an indoor strain.
Taste, aroma and effect
The profile is old-school sativa: more herbal, woody and earthy than candy-sweet, with a light spice, and the smoke is smooth. The effect is the reason to grow it — energizing and clear, with a creative, slightly psychedelic edge in larger amounts and a lighter body relaxation that does not usually feel heavy. It is a daytime strain through and through, for walks, music and conversation. At 14 to 20% THC it is also a good choice for people who find modern strains too strong. For other classic sativas, see Acapulco Gold; for one that finishes far earlier in Canada, Pure Power Plant.
