Narrative

Seeds from a maintenance grow that used seeds originally obtained from Colombian export bud bought in Amsterdam in the early 1990s c. 1990.

This type of cannabis was fairly common on coffeeshop menus in the 1990s. Sold as ‘Colombian’ or ‘Mexican’ it was clearly an outcrossed landrace - ie landrace crossed to a modern hybrid.

We strongly suspect the hybrid was some form of ‘Northern Lights’
Donor Narrative: ""1990 Colombian (Colombian Gold x Northern Lights), Type: Sativa-dom, Outdoors: Mid-October to mid-November. Resurrected directly from Colombian export seeds stored since c. 1990. Big yields and intense uplifting highs that edge on psychedelic.
‘Colombia 90’ is a Colombian cross we believe almost certainly originates from combining a ‘Colombian Gold’ landrace with an old ‘Northern Lights’. Whorled phyllotaxy may show during vegetative growth. Low odour during flower. Sativa architecture but with high bud density. Cures to sweet citrus herbal scents, a total antithesis to modern hybrids. Very hardy and stress tolerant. Highly recommended for outdoors in regions with mild autumns. Feminized seeds.
