Colombian Gold:
World Of Seed, feminized photoperiod
This Sativa strain is the result of a combination of pure strains from the Santa Marta mountain range in Colombia that is home to the country’s highest peaks. Below 2,500m, where the soil is very fertile, can be found anything from typical Andean woods to dense tropical jungle.
Cannabis has been cultivated in this area for many generations and, by trying to improve the plant’s medicinal properties through continual interbreeding, the local inhabitants have achieved some of the most genetically pure strains in existence. Our breeder brought back many seeds from this region and we worked with them to produce this tall, vigorous, branchy strain with an intense, sweet fragrance that stands out above all for her taste and potent, psychedelic effects.
Genotype 100% Sativa
THC 18%
Maturation(Interior) from 65 to 75 days
Maturation(Exterior) late October

Way of cropping Ind/Out
Production 400 g/m2 Indoor | more than 700 g/pl Outdoor
Odor High
Effect Cerebral
Resistance to mold High
Pest resistance Medium
Sex Feminized
Lineage Santa Marta (Colombia)
BHO Performance 17%
Irrigation tolerance High
Medicinal Value Medium

Colombian Gold, World of Seeds, clones from a feminized photoperiod mother.
All are welcome to this journal.
These clones were gifted to me by @LKABudMan Budman as he had extra clones and I'd mentioned how much I wished I could grow them. I had just lost my Blueberry crop due to a medical emergency. I never expected things to work out so perfectly. Lose a crop and instant root ready replacement clones of a strain, I'd probably dreamed of growing this strain since the mid 70s. I realize it's not the exact strain from that time as it probably didn't finish as fast the breeder states this strain finishes.
I am running the plants in the diy DWC under a ViparSpectra XS1500pro for a few days and then into the open flood and drain under a 600w LED. I will veg them on 16/8 light schedule and then on an 11/13 light schedule after flip to match the Golden Tiger next door. While the two grows are on different light schedules, the closure between grows will be in use, and each grow will have it's own AC running. The Golden Tiger will get the dehumdifier as it is already flowering. Once on the same light schedule, only one AC will be used and the dehumdifier will be shared.
The 1st reservoir was created this morning using GH recommended amounts for Early Growth. CalMag+ was added and the res. was PHed to 5.8-6.2. No plants in the tray yet as I still have to finish cleaning the air stones. The weighted air hoses are already in the reservoir and would probably be adequate, but the plants are currenting in the diy DWC and are doing fine. No hurry as the ViparSpectra XS1500pro is doing a fine job at present.
The clones in the diy DWC are running on a two gallon reservoir at the GH recomended concentration for two gallons in Early Growth. PHed at 5.8-6.2. CalMag+ at 2ml/gallon.
The flood and drain consist of a doubled up 17 gallon tote, a 3x3foot tray, with a four hole PVC tray cover. I'll be scrogging them on a 4x4 1st screen about 7inches/18cm from the tray cover. I plan on using a 2nd, 4x4 screen, 12inches/30.5cm above the first screen to spread out the top colas and provide support.
The water pump supplying the nutrients to the tray will run every two hours for 15minutes and then drain back into the reservoir. I am using a combination of air stones and air hoses supplied by a 35w 6 port air pump running 24/7.
If any of you have run this stain, how much does this strain stretch after flip? Does it double or triple in height? Just trying to decide if 12inches/30.5cm height is adequate for the 2nd screen?
Colombian Gold, 1st day in the diy DWC, thanks again @LKABudMan
Colombian Gold, 1st day in the diy DWC,
Future flood and drain home of the Colombian Gold. Just have to clean the air stones and hook them up. Weighted air hoses already aerating.

!
Sometimes it re-enforces a desire to grow it,
and every now and then, there will be red flags that show me, that might not be what I'm looking for.
I will be sure and post about how close it reminds me of the old time Colombian,
but under the best of circumstances that will be around Christmas time.
