FBSC Colombian Gold

This was my FBSC Columbian Gold grow. Started with 10 seeds, from Snow High that have lineage back to the 70’s. 8 of the 10 popped. This was the end of May. Of those 8, 6 died off within a week. I tended to the 2 remaining seedlings. By mid-July we had one female and hoping for the other to be male. We got lucky and it was. To play it safe I cut 4 clones from the male and 6 from the female. They rooted within 10 days and were planted shortly after.

After I knew the clones were growing well, on September 3rd I flipped the original 2 plants to a 11:45 / 12:15 light schedule. This is close to the winter daytime schedule for Columbia. Being a 20 to 24 week strain, I knew it was going to be a while.

Original 2 plants on September 11th.

3 weeks later, September 24th I flipped 4 the males and 4 of the females. I pulled the other 2 females for back up.

The clones right before they were flipped.

At week 18 for the original female, I pulled 3 seeds from random branches. Within 5 days all 3 germinated. I now knew at 18 weeks I would have viable seeds. I let the mom go 3 more weeks, taking her to 21 weeks, so the clones could go 18 weeks. At 18 weeks and 4 days for the clones, February 1st , I cut down all the seeded Columbian Gold females.

2 weeks later I cleaned the mom. She produced almost 2100 seeds, out of which only 5 were bad. She alone handled the Freakers commitment.

I cleaned up one clone so far. She didn’t match mom, she did not veg as long either, but did give over 800 seeds with only 2 bad ones. I still have 3 more clones to go.

If someone TeamOG will please open a wiki and make 60 spots each for trust level 2 and 3, for now, I would appreciate it. I will open more as I clean more clones. They are hanging in a 63 degrees / 59% humidity drying space. These will go out in the spring box

I will add some pictures to the thread that I have stored as time permits, just a very busy time of the year for me.

If this is the real deal Colombian Gold, or the closest you can get, I would love to try it.
I have never flowered anything that long, 20-24 weeks, but I would like to give it a try.

Awww yeah!!! I hope this isn’t a freakers only thing, if it is remove me from the list. Otherwise in at #2!!! This is a little throwback to my heritage, pops was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. Anything old-school from Colombia I would love to get in on! Would love to find some Punto Rojo / Colombian Red next!!

And I generally don’t want something that long, but Colombian XXXX will make me change my tune. I WILL make exceptions for them :smiley:

Wow!

I have always heard about Colombian Gold, not sure if this is only a freakers thing, and if it is please remove me. I would love to show this to my father, who talks about the old pot and has mentioned columbian gold many times.
