My father began collecting seeds in 1964, during his first tour in SE Asia with a special warfare group. He was there until after the Tet Offensive, when he decided to do something else with his life. After his time in the military, he became a television journalist with a major US network, allowing him access to places around the world where most westerners are generally not welcome. Unbeknownst to his children, he had been collecting rare cannabis varieties during these travels, keeping his stock viable through proper storage and by propagating and acclimatizing new seeds every three years.Later in his life, my father and I bonded over our mutual love of the plant, which he had kept a closely guarded secret for most of my life. Being a horticulture student at the time, I began working these lines (as well as my personal collection) on our family farms in Yamhill and Clatsop Counties. In 2009 we began growing for a group of marginalized HIV patients, and Old World Organics was born.

Our Panama Red is one of our absolute favorite cultivars here at Old World Organics. The original seed stock was collected in 1970 by one of our founders, and being his favorite smoke of all time, selection began immediately. This line took a great deal of work to stabilize and acclimate to the conditions here in Oregon, but our efforts paid off. We recently took our well worked Panama Red line and crossed it with Ace Seeds Panama, in order to add vigor and make it more suitable for indoor growers. The results have been phenomenal, and we are proud to finally bring this one to the public.

For this cross we decided to pair our newly revamped Panama Red with our classic Northern California Afghani, collected from our good friends along the Lost Coast of Humbolt County in 1979. This cross resulted in robust, high yielding, resistant plants, retaining the electric, psychedelic, mind warping, euphoric high of the original 1970s Panama Red.

Expect vigorous, medium-tall plants, with lemony, hazy, sandalwood scents, packing a massive yield of top quality cannabis. She does great indoors and outdoors, and can handle heat, drought, and humidity and rain equally well.
