I love growing this strain. Received real Panama Red seeds and would like too post real pictures of the strain.
There are several legendary varieties of cannabis that some of the more honest members of the baby boomer generation (you literally came of age in the mid-late ‘60s & very early ‘70s … we know most of you smoked weed, at least, in your hazy, crazy college and early adult years … those of you that hypocritically lied about it to your kids while telling them to stay away from drugs didn’t do them any favors at all) recall extremely fondly, with a nostalgic twinkle in their eyes, waxing poetic about how the legendary genetics of yore got you high, filled you with energy and euphoria, were incredible in social situations, and fueled your more creative and outgoing sides (read: free love), with no stony, sleepy, or downer effects of so many modern stains (Afghani, Pakistani, Iranian, & mostly Central Asian / Himalayan Indicas wouldn’t hit the States until the mid 70s, at the earliest, and most arrived a good while later). That’s because those legendary strains were virtually all pure or occasionally crossed landrace and heirloom sativas - and, sorry to burst your bubbles, but many had total potencies of 16%-20%+ or more, up to 25% total THC, Delta-9-THC, & were more likely to be high in rarer cannabinoids like THCV, a stronger and speedier homologue of THC, being tropical sativas, with potencies just like the majority of today’s cannabis. However, there are indeed many modern hybrids that when grown well and cured properly, can have total THC homologues & analogs that give them a potency as high as 26%-30%, & even a bit higher. Legendary Mexican, Central, South American, & Caribbean Sativas like Acapulco Gold, Highland Oaxacan Gold, Jamaican, Honduran, Panama Red, Colombia Punta Rojo, Santa Marta Colombian Gold, Chocolate Colombian (aka Wacky Weed, one of three Colombian landraces crossed to make Original Haze, & was once one of the most common varietals in the US, especially in the 1950s, but is now most likely extinct), Several Hawaiian landrace Sativas, such as Maui Wowie, Big Island, & more, Several Southern Asian Sativas, particularly from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Nepal, India, The Philippines, & several African Sativas like Angola Red, Red Congolese, Black Congolese, Ethiopian, Kilimanjaro, Nigerian, Malawi Gold, Kwazulu, Durban Poison, Coffee Gold, etc. with all manner of different names, made up the majority of strains available in the US in the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, sativas from the Americas, Hawaii, & Southern Asia (mostly due to the Korean & Vietnam Wars) tended to be the most common in the 1960s. Acapulco Gold (with a natural potency of 23%-25%), Panama Red (with a natural potency of 17%-20%), & Santa Marta Colombian Gold (with a natural potency of 16%-19%), were some of the most infamous 1960s landraces that are still available today. Panama & Colombia were one country until 1903, & Colombian Red (Columbia Punta Rojo) & Panama Red are widely considered to originate from the same or mostly the same feral landrace cannabis populations. Of the three, Panama Red is the hardest to find today, particularly because it’s extremely rare in its native Panama. However it is still available from some serious seed collectors in the US. Of these big three Mexican, Central, & South American landraces, Acapulco Gold tends to get the most attention, possibly because of its potency, & possibly because it was so much easier to get than the other two. But as someone who’s fortunate enough to have seeds of all 3 in my collection, as well as a huge library of other landrace genetics from all over the world (a massive shout out to SnowHigh Seeds, ACE, Reeferman, Dr. Greenthumb, Cannabiogen, California Connoisseur Genetics, Anesia, Bodhi, Indian Landrace Exchange, Tropical Seeds, World of Seeds, Seeds of Africa, Afropips, Khalifa Genetics, Mass Medical Seeds, & many more, including innumerable individual collectors & the many old timer hippies with some seriously amazing seed collections - all of you are legendary for your landrace and heirloom preservation efforts!), genuine Panama Red has the most phenomenal effects of the 1960s legends. Finding genuine Panama Red is fucking hard work. Of the 9 different seeds I was gifted or bought that claimed to be Panama Red, only SnowHigh, California Connoisseur, Reeferman, & Dr. Greenthumb’s were the real deal, with extra love to SnowHigh, Cali. Connoisseur, & Dr. Greenthumb for having the best representations of the original. SnowHigh’s Seeds aren’t easy to find anymore, but if you’re able to, snap them up. Especially those with pure original landrace genetics, or landrace genetics in the mix. Most other genetics companies Panama Red aren’t available at all anymore. Not real Panama Red. ACE & Anesia both have Panama seeds that are a cross of 3 Panamanian and Colombian landraces and are excellent, but aren’t true school Panama Red. ACE & Anesia do both have several genuine landrace beans in stock however. Panama Red is euphoric beyond description, with a long lasting, energetic, creative, vibrant, & very heady high. The best individuals have a unique citrusy, grapefruit scent and flavor on top of the earthy, spicy, herbal, flowery, and tropical fruit notes. Snowhigh’s Panama Red Deep Blue Pheno (good luck hunters!) is the best I’ve had, with red sap & brick red hairs, the former extremely rare in even genuine Panama Red genetics, but indicative of the highest quality, real deal Panama Red & Colombia Punta Rojo, the latter a good sign you have genuine Panama Red or Colombian Red. If you’re lucky enough to come across a bank with some of Snowhigh’s Panama Red or Colombia Punta Rojo genetics, regardless of the asking price, absolutely snap them up! It’s some of the best herb you’ll ever get to experience in your life. And if you one of your parents or grandparents are baby boomers, even if they’ve denied using cannabis (uh-huh … fucking sellouts), this will make their mouths water for that legendary 1960s classic cannabis they never thought they’d ever get to experience again. Much easier to find, are Mass Medical’s twice released Acapulco Gold seeds (in 2019 & 2023), & that he’ll likely release at least one more time. I’m certain they’re still available from at least a handful of US seed banks. They’re genuine, & they’re 🔥. NOW GET HUNTING!!!
Super smooth in both smoking flavor and the ensuing high. Definitely a weed version of a craft beer. You lose some punch in the process, but gain plenty of quality and a more natural high that newer, younger strains growers have left behind in the pursuit more, better, faster, higher, bigger.
Fucking amazing! Dig the wood taste! got me and my friend high as fuck
This is my go to "get up and go" strain.
I'm more of an indica kind of gal due to fibromyalgia and PTSD. The sativas I've had prior to this one always caused me to become anxious and on edge. I still try them when given the chance though, because you never know.
This was one of those I never knew ones. It's amazing. It didn't cause me to become anxious in any way. I swear I talked for like 3 hours straight. I have no clue about what, but I know I was talking. I also became super social. Which is a huge feat in itself since I also have social anxiety. It works wonders for pain. I didn't even notice until halfway through cleaning my house that I wasn't hurting anywhere. It did keep me up till around 2am, but I smoked it around 8pm AND I have insomnia. Obviously a dumb move on my part. I mean if I have coffee past noon I'm screwed. So not sure what I was thinking there.
Overall I like this one for daytime use and will definitely keep this in my books.
The flower I received was really pretty with streaks of orange-y red flowing through it. The flower was a bit dry. The nugget I ground came out really fine and burnt up fast. I re-hydrated the rest a bit and it came out beautifully sticky and burned nice and slow.
Pros:
Elevates mood
Energizes
Improves social ability
Good for day time use
Still able to function normally
Decreases, if not eliminates pain
Helps with organizational and cleaning skills
Cons:
Makes you a chatterbox
Not so great for nighttime or people with insomnia
Doesn't cause the stereotypical 'High' (if that's you thang)
Probably not good for people with Obsessive disorders. (I cleaned way more than I spoke.)

Outstanding strain. I picked up some in DC grown by Alternative Solutions and this is HEAVY contender to my favorite strain. It smells like a tennis ball was soaked in fruity pebble milk. Smokes like hash and gives you a cerebral high that gives you a hug for hours. 10/10
