Columbian Skies
Also known as: Colombian Skies
Overview
Columbian Skies is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Dr. Greenthumb, created through crossing the indica strain Chemo with a Colombian landrace variety. This strain represents a combination of modern breeding techniques with classic Colombian genetics that were instrumental in cannabis breeding history. The strain showcases the characteristic tall growth patterns typical of Colombian sativa genetics while incorporating the medical benefits associated with its Chemo parent, which was specifically bred to assist patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
The buds of Columbian Skies are noted for their earthy aroma and taste profile that resembles "old time Colombian" strains, reflecting its landrace heritage. The strain maintains a 4 out of 5 potency rating according to Dr. Greenthumb's documentation, suggesting moderate to high strength effects. As a mostly sativa hybrid, Columbian Skies exhibits the energetic and cerebral characteristics typical of Colombian genetics while offering some of the therapeutic benefits of its indica Chemo lineage, making it a unique bridge between recreational and medical applications.

Outdoor cultivation produces much larger plants reaching 4-8 feet in height with potential yields of 2-3 pounds per plant in favorable climates. The strain finishes outdoor flowering around October 1st and shows good frost resistance. Growing difficulty is considered medium to hard, and it was never available as feminized seeds.
