76 Peace Corps Panama
Also known as: 1976 Peace Corps Panama, Panama Red, Peace Corps Panama
Overview
76 Peace Corps Panama is a pure landrace sativa strain developed by Swami Organic Seed, representing one of the last unmolested Panama landrace lines available on earth. The strain's genetics were gathered by a female Peace Corps worker operating in Panama during the mid-1970s, making it a historically significant piece of cannabis heritage. This strain is part of the famous Panama Red lineage that gained widespread popularity during the 1960s and 1970s counterculture movement. As a true landrace variety, 76 Peace Corps Panama maintains the authentic characteristics of indigenous Panamanian cannabis, including the distinctive reddish pistils that give Panama Red strains their name and reputation. The strain has been carefully preserved and worked by Swami Organic Seed for breeding purposes while maintaining its genetic integrity. Known for producing tall, vigorous sativa plants with sticky flowers, this variety represents an important link to the classic Central American cannabis genetics that influenced modern breeding programs. The strain requires patience from cultivators, with flowering times extending well over 100 days, but rewards growers with authentic old-school effects and the sweet, spicy aromatics characteristic of traditional Panama Red varieties.

Growing Information
76 Peace Corps Panama is a challenging strain to cultivate, requiring significant experience and patience. The plants can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with flowering times of approximately 100+ days (14-16 weeks). Indoor cultivation requires careful height management as plants can grow very tall due to their pure sativa genetics. Outdoor growing is preferred in tropical or Mediterranean climates, with harvest occurring in late October. Plants exhibit typical landrace sativa characteristics including tall stature, lengthy internodes, and slender leaves. This variety was originally clone-only and available as feminized seeds. Yields are typically moderate compared to modern hybrids, but the quality and authentic effects make it valuable for preservation breeding and connoisseurs seeking historical genetics.
