Why hasnā€™t anyone ever made a punta roja/rudaralis autoflower for all the old timers wondering what happened to Columbian red bud?

Canā€™t answer the auto question but you can still find some solid regular Old School Seeds from a few reputable breeders. Iā€™ve been playing around with Santa Marta Columbian Gold F2s, Kona Gold F2s, Panama Red F2 and Skunk #1 IBLs for a few years now. Love the old school herb and buzz :love_you_gesture:

Yeah. Itā€™s hard to beat good Bo. I scored my my first oz of Columbian red bud when I was 17 Iā€™m 63 now and it still stands out in my memory :star_struck:

Iā€™m 61 and thatā€™s why I started on this journey. Panama Red and Columbian Gold were my 1st 2 at 14 years old. I created 2 strains and they seemed to have turned out pretty good and have that old school buzz. I crossed a Panama Red male with a Kona Gold female and used the same Panama pop to cross with a Columbian Gold :love_you_gesture:

May I ask what breeding technique you used?

I start with Regular seeds of the two strains I want to cross. I dropped 26 in total when I created the Kona Red. Anyway I select a female and male that have the structure, growth vigor and appearance Iā€™m looking for. Iā€™ll take that male and induce flowering 2 weeks before the female and then toss them in the honeymoon tent and let nature do its thing. I then collect the seeds (regulars) and start the selection process again for a select female that has what Iā€™m looking for. Iā€™ll take cuttings from the select female for the reversal and feminized seed run. I use STS to treat one of the female clones 1 week before inducing flowering with the light change and toss the other female in with the reversed female 2-3 weeks later. I treat that female once weekly during that 2-3 weeks later period, usually 3 treatments work with spraying all the growth points/bud sites. Additionally the male will start dropping pollen around week 4-6 and the females are most receptive to pollination around week 3 of flowering. This is the reason for the 2-3 week difference versus tossing both in the tent at the same time for flowering. The journey and most difficult part is selecting that perfect female and male to cross. I use reputable breeders for my regular seeds and prefer regulars due to their hardiness, disease resistance and overall toughness and use those for reproduction :love_you_gesture:

The f2s would have a lot of different phenos yeah? F2 would be great for mystery buds or if you wanted to isolate a specific allele, you could get a bunch of different plant types. If you grew 100 you could determine dominant and recessive.

You might wanna try Christmas bud? The guys at CSI Humbolt have an S1 I believe? Its the same stuff we usec to get around xmas every year in the 80sā€¦ tastes amazing, good mexican sativa high and smells like sweet pine trees. My guess is its a Mexicanā€¦ likely Oaxacan x pineter kush?

Yep several different pheno expressions with the F2s. The F1 crosses created came out very nice and vigorous :love_you_gesture:

I remember Christmas tree!.. 80sā€¦ Yeah. Closer to what NYsour dub is now. We were hearing it to be from Canada actually. If you reverse the grow calendar dates, it lines up with a cold fall harvest in July/August then 3month Cure landing right in November, plus a month to go into ā€œsalesā€.
Was one of our favorites here on the east Coast.
