Colombian Gold Lowland
Also known as: Santa Marta Gold Lowland, Samarian Golden, Caturra
Colombian Gold Lowland Strain Overview
Colombian Gold Lowland is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the low mountains of Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta, Northern Colombia, at elevations between 1000-2300 meters above sea level (3300-7500 feet). This strain is also known locally as 'Samarian Golden' or 'Caturra,' with the latter name being a reference to its shorter stature compared to highland varieties, similar to Caturra coffee plants. The Santa Marta Gold lowland was a popular choice among local farmers and hippie settlers during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, as it was faster-flowering, shorter, and more precocious than the highland Santa Marta Gold varieties while producing similar aromas and flavors with more productive flowering.
Colombian Gold Lowland exhibits loose resinous flowers with a golden finish and large pointed calyxes. Plants typically grow in a conical shape with an imposing and productive main apical bud, reaching heights of 1.5-2 meters (5-6.5 feet). This strain is characterized by extremely vibrant and active effects that are euphoric, lysergic, psychoactive, and psychedelic, with powerful, long-lasting cerebral effects. Despite some historical confusion with lower-quality cannabis referred to as 'Pangola,' genuine Santa Marta Gold varieties including the lowland phenotype are extremely potent and vibrantly active.
