dutch flowers metal haze f3 preservation reproduction leans on Panama Red for its character, the tropical Panamanian sativa that made its name in the late sixties.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: Panama Red. The tropical Panamanian sativa that made its name in the late sixties. That one comes from a Panamanian landrace. For a stretch of the late sixties and seventies it was simply what the best weed meant, and that reputation is the only reason it survived to be preserved at all. It is worth being honest about what growing it involves: this is an equatorial plant that has never been bred for a tent. It wants the long finish, it stretches, and it will not behave like a modern hybrid. What it gives back is an effect the modern catalogue does not really make any more.
• Preservation, not novelty. A cut this old has no seed history - it has been passed hand to hand. A self is the only route to a packet, and the only way the line outlives the people currently holding it.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Earth and citrus, with alpha-humulene and limonene leading.
• The Taste. Citrus over an earthy base.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. A pure or near-pure landrace sativa off the Pearl Islands and the Darien Gap, carrying the reddish colouring it is named for over vivid green flower.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. Panama Red runs long, as equatorial sativas are - eleven weeks at the very least, and ten to sixteen is the usual range given. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Panama Red as cerebral, euphoric and energising, quick enough to border on psychedelic. A daytime plant.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
