Carrots yes . . . I guess I could have looked at causes in weed.
Carotenoids (/kəˈrɒtɪnɔɪd/) are yellow, orange, and red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Carotenoids give the characteristic color to pumpkins, carrots, parsnips, corn, tomatoes, canaries, flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and daffodils.

Author did a good job. Did you know Panama Red is Colombian? It was grown in the region near the border and was smuggled via Panama. Maybe Prempavee should send Strain Finders there

Regions of Colombian Cannabis Landraces Colombian cannabis landraces are primarily defined by two main growing regions — the highlands of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the lowland coastal areas near Panama — each producing distinct genetic and phenotypic traits.
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Highland Region)
Key strains: Santa Marta Gold, Santa Marta Purple, Punto Rojo (Punta Roja)
Characteristics: Tall, conical, long flowering sativas (up to 9 months cycle). Known for powerful, cerebral, and sometimes psychedelic effects.
Punto Rojo is notable for its red pistils and intense, long-lasting high
Santa Marta Gold is the flagship highland line, sweet-golden in aroma, and a documented parent of Skunk #1 and a component of Original Haze. Lowland Coastal Region (Cauca Valley, Nariño, near Panama)
Key strains: Corinto (Coro, Cominera, Corinto Purple), Panama Red, Limón Verde, Chocolate Colombian, Mango Biche,
Characteristics: Vigorous lowland sativas, often with red-pistil expression. Panama Red is a well-known lowland variety, sometimes linked genetically to highland lines.
Cultural note: The lowland route via Panama was historically used to avoid border enforcement, aiding smuggling to the U.S. (sans Panama Red)
Additional Regional Variants
Cali Hills: Another highland selection with unique local adaptations.
Meta (interior): Later expansion into inland areas, producing distinct phenotypes.
Historical Context Colombian landraces became globally recognized in the 1970s–80s, supplying much of the U.S. sativa market. They were cultivated in both highland and lowland regions, with each area’s unique climate shaping the plant’s morphology and effect.
In summary:
Highland (Santa Marta): Santa Marta Gold, Santa Marta Purple, Punto Rojo — tall, long-flowering, potent cerebral highs.
Lowland (Cauca/Nariño/Panama): Corinto, Panama Red, Limón Verde, Chocolate Colombian — vigorous, tropical, often red-pistil sativas.
These regional definitions remain central to understanding Colombian cannabis genetics and their legacy in global cannabis culture.
