Hailing from the Central American country, its namesake Panama Red is a sativa-leaning strain that has been coveted by cannabis enthusiasts dating back to the 1960s. In the early days of the counterculture movement, back when THC potency was much lower, Panama Red was praised for creating a psychedelic and euphoric high with greater cerebral effects over a typical body high.

Reported to grow tall and thin with lengthy internodes and thick stems, Panana Red sprouts high-reaching, conic colas that take on a dark green appearance with reddish hairs during the curing process. According to Anesia Seeds, a seed bank that sells feminized Panama Red seeds, this strain is best suited for indoor growing, but can be cultivated in an outdoor environment as well.

With a flowering time ranging from 10 to 12 weeks, this strain continues to stretch during the flowering process, so bending the plant’s branches is recommended when grow space is limited. This strain can yield up to 750 grams per plant, producing THC levels that average about 21%. Giving off a delectable flavor of candy and lemon, Panama Red continues to live up to its reputation as a go-to strain for consumers seeking a creative and energetic buzz.
