Thanks for the input. Looks like I will just have to take a trip to the country of origin to find the stuff I want :-/
100% Pure Landrace Columbian Gold. Where can I get the seeds?

- Start date
The long cycle of these sativas requires the use of "clean" water ─ distilled or rainwater, when growing them indoors . . .
Distilling tapwater will surprise by the amount of insoluble salts that build up in the boiling flask!
I'm currently doing OTH, their offspring, and PH and often do a "raindance" to obviate distilling (pita)!
Since this thread popped back up....
Yes those are "average" temperatures, but it is very common for each of those cities listed to have 1-2 week stretches of 100+ temperatures, several times a summer. Generally around the first of June there will be a heat wave that can go up to 110 degrees for a week or two, then drop back down. Mid August it is hitting 100 degrees regularly.
And while I do completely agree with the winter being the biggest problem, summer temps can be an issue as well.
I will also note that due to global warming the south summers have been much more mild the last couple of summers.

Reefermands are inbread. I think the 75/25 version, is closes as you will get, these are mostly that way, because of time with the wind blowing and the birds flying, all things have change since the beginning. Mother nature has change us all. If you can find you a pin pal from Colombia, you might get them to send you a few seeds from the santan marta region. And like I said, Mother nature has change them in the last 6 to 10 K years.

there is the smcg and the smg
smcg that i am growing now is mangeable indoors and mskrs good all sativa buds
smg is crazy long flowering and makes very potent whispy "buds"
i have mentioned this before elsewhere that colombia could not have produced so much weed if they were growing 20 wk whispy lambsbread looking strains..besides ,,the buds we got were fatter and more dense..except for rare almost seedless scrawny bud that was pron .00001 % of the total produce ie.connaiseur stylee
they had shorter, shorter flower sativa's witnessed by 1975 hightimes photo of woman carrying bundle of dense maik cola
dominant bundles
also ..when we used to try to grow them up here..they were not skinny plants..but apex of breeding sativa's..no tey would not flower
but t was obvious they were not the skinny long flower ones
that being said: the onesd we tried to grow out side were not what i am growing now..the colour and leaf shape were different
but this smcg is awesome

An excerpt from a 40 year old DJ short article pasted below, also: I'll recommend you try Bodgi Red Lotus...I have.
Colombian red X Snow Lotus= very sativa high but with normal flowering times...and do well indoors.
When I first began growing, some 13 years ago; I too wanted the strains I went to High school on...lol
But I had the same results as you see below, and learned quickly that; even outdoors one must choose strains from the same latitude in which their genetics were developed.
Colombian Gold
Colombian Gold came from the highland Colombian valleys near the equator, as well as on the coast (the Caribbean and the Pacific).
This was specialty pot offered commercially in the mid-70's, for about $60 to $100 per ounce. It was seeded, but most of the seeds were undeveloped, white and useless. A few rare, viable seeds were found that were dark, small-sized and roundish. The buds were leafy and the most beautiful golden blond color. Legend has it that upon maturity the plants were girdled, then left standing to die and cure in the mountain sun and mist.
The color and cure were unique, and the aroma, flavor and high were equally so. The smell was that of sandalwood incense, almost like frankincense. The flavor was that of a peppery cedar. It was some of the most unique tasting herb in the world, and the high was just as exciting. It was truly psychedelic, powerful and long lasting.
First came the great flavor, then the stupefying awe of the shift in consciousness followed by a giddy excitement and bursts of joyous laughter. Smile-lock and red-eye made it painfully obvious who was under the influence of this great psychedelic herb.
The plants from the seeds of the Gold were primarily of Sativa origin. They grew a medium to tall size outdoors at 45°N (Seattle), and were mostly symmetrical. On occasion the symmetry was interrupted by one side outgrowing the other, causing a rounded and bulging tipped bush look. The leaves were long and slender.
When grown in Washington state, the finished product was a sweet, spicy Sativa bud that matured around mid-November. The high was adequate but not as good as the Oaxaca Highland grown at the same latitude. The plants were also slightly hermaphroditic.

Oldtimer's Haze from ACE Seeds is Colombian Gold (according to Phylos). Get ready for 18-20 weeks of flowering ^^
Is it about CBG's Destroyer? If so, the breeder gives other information about the origin of this strain.
