Punto Rojo de la Sierra

Punto Rojo de la Sierra is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Punto Rojo de la Sierra is a rare, traditional Colombian landrace sativa strain originating from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in northern Colombia. This heirloom variety has been cultivated by indigenous communities and local farmers for generations, representing one of the purest surviving examples of Colombian cannabis genetics. The strain's name translates to 'Red Point of the Mountains,' referring to the distinctive red pistils (hairs) that develop during flowering and the mountainous region where it has been preserved.

The strain is characterized by its tall, lanky structure with long internodal spacing, typical of equatorial sativas adapted to high-altitude tropical environments. Plants develop narrow, light green leaves with serrated edges and produce elongated, airy buds covered in a moderate layer of trichomes. The most distinctive visual feature is the vibrant red-orange pistils that emerge during late flowering, creating a striking contrast against the pale green foliage. Punto Rojo de la Sierra has a flowering period of 12-16 weeks, significantly longer than modern hybrids, reflecting its pure landrace heritage.

Notable features include its exceptional resilience to local environmental conditions, having naturally adapted to the specific microclimates of the Sierra Nevada region. The strain represents important genetic heritage that has contributed to numerous modern hybrids, particularly those seeking the clear-headed, energetic effects characteristic of pure sativas. Preservation efforts have been undertaken by seed banks and collectors due to the strain's historical significance and genetic purity, though authentic examples remain rare outside their native region.
