I have been smoking since I was a teenager (not promoting under developed brains to smoke) back in the 80's it was not uncommon to have red haired bud all the time.. like it was the norm. However I can't remember the last time I have seen this in a plant? anyone out there know what strain is a red hair?

Find brick weed, grow it out
Some are fur balls of hair others just have a few blood hairs. Some are a little orange

You mean red 'pistols' of a female bud?

as most if not all

pistols turn red/orange/brown then die as the flower matures

All mine have gone brownish, the plant in my profile was a beautiful red and even it went brownish, however I have smoked on many occasion real red hairs, not orange or brown. It may be a lost pheno

Punta Roja - Central Columbian Haze strain. Nice "sour" haze flavor - kinda sandlewood smelling.......

There is a Northern Mexican version.....More like the brick type the others are talking about. Very watered down genetics. Peppery and mid grade at best.

There is a very fine Southern Mexican version.....Very dark coloring and again, this is an unknown cross with the original Colombian.
I feel it's a cross someone with ability/knowledge did with what could be the Panama Red and the Colombian Punta. VERY big haze/strong pyschedelic buzz.....Found this on a trip to the southern Mexican copper country.....I searched all over for some seeds to it but, that's where the locals goose chased me...I could find the weed,,,but?

I think that's what you maybe remembering......If it was "bricked", then it's the second one..

Not all brick is watered down.
The producing families would hand press in their own form of curing been doing for a veeeery long time. I know generations of farmers in southern mexico that "brick" using the same strain generations old

I feel your a little off pn flavors and what not heres my understanding. There are roughly 6 amazing strains. Lots of crosses and re adaptations
We call them by flavor, and understand the associated region. Columbian gold and roja etc are pretty outdated
But there are many crosses that have adapted to the region.
Here are some prominent strains and phenos
Mex sweet, sisters range cucumber to marshmallow melon and honey suckle, 12-13 weeks, fluff, moderate thc and cbd
The mex sour can go very garlicky and berry some fuelly, flowers ~16 weeks chunky spongy buds my favorite
The lime can range from lime juice to crayola racy psychedelic, is the citrus crossed with most likely an asian long ago then with the sour 18-19 weeks. moderate thcv good thc, spear buds. Sometimes can find a candy lime crossed with the sweet mex with melon in the profile. Theres strawberries hiding too and flowers about 15
The true citrus is euphoric all around sativa qualities, ~20weeks more fluffy buds..very fluffy in gen and can be massive, over ripe mangoes
The bo citrus , can smell a little like a spicier sweaty citrus has more cbd, ive had some hit 20+ not as good imo. Lanky adapted to the jungles terps preventing certain molds
The technical parent x from that is the columbian cheese, not cheese but a dirty astringent funk. That created the well known cheese strains
The Watered down version of that is the spicy columbian more north, it has a hand in creating the bo citrus
It also crossed with the sour making cat piss

From what i understand
And my experience



There is a holiday spice sandal wood nutmeggy vanilla strain that flowers about 14, low odor like the sweet but very good smoke and flavor very frosty Dense bud small bud low yield, viney
Unsure of exact history. Have heard island bred.
I have seen strains propagate along the ground cloning themself off mexico, i would assume its that with one or a couple mex and re adaoted


Anyway just me rambling

Very interesting......To me brick means large harvest and bricked for trans to the comerc market.....Most is (your right) not a bad weed but one "under/poorly grown" and not well cured....stringy and seedy......Like anything they have levels of quality too.

The southern strains I'm familiar with are more local in sales.....resorts take their share and little makes it north......I've felt that the southern strains out preformed the northern ones more after the late 70's.....Man those were some fun days.....I kinda pine for some of the old regional strains....

prattling on....:mrgreen:
