Colombia Mostly Indica by Originals
Colombian Landraces
Colombia - Mostly Indica by Original Strains is an indica-dominant cultivar that blends traditional Colombian cannabis heritage with modern breeding. It is recognized for its robust indica qualities, dense buds, and significant resin production, establishing a distinct profile within the cannabis market.
Appearance
This strain presents dense, compact buds characterized by a deep green coloration, often exhibiting purple hues, particularly during cooler periods of the flowering stage. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high cannabinoid content. The plant structure is typically bushy with broad leaves, typical of indica varieties.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is a complex blend featuring prominent earthy notes reminiscent of damp soil, complemented by subtle citrus and floral undertones. As the buds are handled, a mild spicy fragrance emerges. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a deep earthy taste upon inhalation, followed by layers of citrus and a hint of spice, finishing with a delicate sweet nuance.
Effects
Users report that this strain offers an energetic experience, contrasting with the more sedative effects often associated with indica-dominant varieties. The energetic qualities are noted to be a result of careful breeding that selectively emphasized indica traits while mitigating some of the more traditionally relaxing effects.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles vary, compounds such as Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene are commonly associated with its aroma and flavor. Genetic analysis of similar landraces suggests a high prevalence of THC synthase gene variants, contributing to its psychoactive potential. Studies on indica-dominant strains indicate THC levels can range from 15% to 20%.
Growing
Colombia - Mostly Indica is noted for its resilience and adaptability, performing well in both indoor and outdoor settings. The plants exhibit a robust, bushy structure with dense foliage, which contributes to plant resilience. Indoor cultivation can yield between 400 to 600 grams per square meter.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Original Strains, this cultivar's lineage traces back to classic Colombian landraces, meticulously bred since the early 2000s to enhance indica qualities. The breeding process focused on selecting specimens with dense buds and high resin production, potentially incorporating genetics from strains like Colombian Gold that have been selectively modified over generations to achieve up to 90% indica dominance.
