Punto Rojo de Montaña
Also known as: Punto Rojo, Tierra Adentro, Colombian Red Point
Punto Rojo de Montaña Strain Overview
Punto Rojo de Montaña is a Colombian landrace sativa strain that gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, originating from the mountainous Tierra Adentro region in the south of Huila, Colombia. There are two major phenotypic differences in this genetic line: those from high mountains and those from low mountains, with the high-altitude varieties being more psychoactive and euphoric. The strain's name derives from the distinctive "red points" or "red dots" that appear in the flower pistils as they mature, with some specimens developing intense red or orange hues that make this sativa visually unique among other landrace varieties. This pure sativa became famous not only for the red coloration of its calyces but also for its high resin content and distinctive psychoactive effects typical of Colombian landraces. As a 100% pure sativa landrace native to Colombia's mountainous regions, the plants produce pepper-shaped bright green buds with vivid red-orange hairs and a coating of frosty white trichomes.

Punto Rojo de Montaña Strain Growing Information
Punto Rojo de Montaña is an outdoor sativa that requires a flowering time of approximately 80-98 days (12-16 weeks). It can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors but performs best in outdoor environments. The strain is a good producer that can yield about 500g per plant and adapts best to tropical or subtropical climates, though it can also be grown by the coast or in greenhouse conditions. Plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters in optimal outdoor conditions and grow very quickly with extreme branching. This cultivar is recommended for expert growers and outdoor cultivation specialists. The strain prefers lighter feeding than indica hybrids, with EC levels of 1.0-1.4 in vegetative growth and 1.5-1.9 in flowering, with organic growing methods often producing the most expressive terpene profiles.
