Panama Red Strain

Panama Red is a pure Sativa strain to have originated in the country of Panama. This consciousness-expanding variety was first cultivated in the 1960s and rose to fame through its high THC content. The aroma of the strain is not noteworthy. It smells of grass and spiciness, but Panama Red rarely loses its scent because of its potency.

Panama Red is a strain loved by cannabis connoisseurs for its strong cerebral effects that eventually lead to a thorough body relaxation in the end. It leaves users feeling energized, talkative, and mentally alert with an increased sense of awareness. Medical marijuana users have found that the strain alleviates symptoms of pain, stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

The adverse effects of this strain are typically mild and consist of dry eyes, dry mouth, and dry throat. The high THC content of this strain can lead the user to experience paranoia, so moderate users should take heed. THC levels are generally between 17 to 20 percent.

The flowering time of the Panama Red strain is roughly 11 weeks. The strain can be grown indoors or outside, but it needs to be sheltered from bad weather and colder temperatures. It should also be grown in soil instead of hydroponically. Good ventilation for indoor cultivation improves the quality of the finished product.

This variety is not usually recommended for novice growers because of its considerable growing period and difficulty in cultivation. The buds are red or orange in color, almost like they are filled with golden light. The nugs are dense and compact, with a coating of sugar-like crystal that covers the leaves and trichomes.
