Jamaica/Panama
Also known as: Jamaica Panama, Jamaican Panama, Panama Jamaica
Jamaica/Panama Strain Overview
Jamaica/Panama is a classic landrace sativa strain that represents a cross between two distinct Central American and Caribbean cannabis varieties. The strain combines genetics from Jamaican sativa landraces with Panama Red or other Panamanian sativa varieties, creating a tropical sativa hybrid that preserves the traditional characteristics of both regions. This strain is part of the broader category of 'tropical sativas' known for their energetic effects and distinctive terpene profiles.
Visually, Jamaica/Panama typically displays the classic sativa structure with tall, slender plants featuring long, narrow leaves. The buds are often airy and elongated with vibrant green coloration, sometimes accented with orange or reddish pistils. The strain is renowned for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes from its Jamaican heritage with earthy, spicy undertones from its Panamanian lineage. As a landrace cross, it represents an important preservation of traditional cannabis genetics from regions with long histories of cannabis cultivation.
Jamaica/Panama is particularly valued by sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, uplifting effects that are characteristic of tropical sativas. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs seeking traditional cannabis experiences and breeders looking to incorporate authentic landrace genetics into their projects. While not as commercially widespread as modern hybrids, it maintains a dedicated following among those who appreciate heritage cannabis varieties.

Jamaica/Panama Strain Growing Information
Jamaica/Panama is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for indoor growers. The plants typically reach heights of 150-200cm indoors and can exceed 250cm outdoors, requiring ample vertical space. Flowering time is relatively long at 10-12 weeks, which is characteristic of pure sativa genetics. The strain prefers warm, humid conditions similar to its tropical origins and thrives in outdoor environments with plenty of sunlight.
Yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold in humid conditions. Training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) can help manage the height and improve yields. This strain is best suited for experienced growers who can accommodate its specific needs and longer flowering period.
