VIP Seeds describes Colombian Sweet as a cross between a sweet Colombian Sativa from Carmen de la Vigora and Northern Lights. The feminized designation is not specified. Documented characteristics include sweet, resin-rich and relatively large flowers, a flowering period of approximately 60 to 65 days, and an October harvest.

Editorial profile

Colombian Sweet in detail

Origin & classification

VIP Seeds described Colombian Sweet as a cross between an original Colombian Sativa and Northern Lights. The Colombian line is said to originate from Carmen de la Vigora and to be particularly sweet. The source presents Northern Lights as predominantly Afghan genetics introduced to shorten the flowering time of the Colombian side. The breeding objective for this breeder-specific version is therefore comparatively clearly documented.

Aroma & flavour

The supplier states a ratio of 60 percent Sativa and 40 percent Indica. This contradicts the strain database category “Indica-dominant”. The category should therefore be corrected to Sativa-dominant. The normalized lineage “Colombia × Northern Lights” is also very general; a breeder-specific Colombian Sativa from the stated region would be more precise as the first parent.

Terpene profile

In terms of aroma, the description focuses on pronounced sweetness. No additional notes such as fruit, soil, pine, spice or citrus are mentioned. The source also describes sweet, resin-rich flowers of good size. This suggests substantial resin coverage and a rather strong flower structure, but not a precise colour, density or shape. A terpene profile is not provided.

Effects tendency

For indoor cultivation, VIP Seeds specifies 60 to 65 days of flowering. This corresponds roughly to nine to ten weeks and therefore matches the strain database field. Outdoors, October is given as the harvest period. These periods are breeder-specific guidelines and may vary depending on phenotype, location and cultivation conditions. As this is not an Automatic strain, the 60 to 65 days refer to the flowering phase and not to a complete life cycle from germination.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The stated yield is 450 grams per square metre indoors and 400 to 600 grams per plant outdoors. These figures are also potential yields stated by the supplier, not guaranteed results. Lighting, climate, plant count, container size and experience can significantly affect the outcome.

Further classification

For THC content, the source uses only the vague classification “medium to high”. Exact percentages are missing, as is CBD data. No subjective effects are described and must not be inferred either from the Sativa dominance or from the Northern Lights lineage.

Further classification

Colombian Sweet can therefore primarily be understood as a VIP Seeds cross with a comprehensible breeding objective: the sweetness of a regionally identified Colombian Sativa meets Northern Lights to shorten the flowering period. Large, resin-rich flowers, the documented time frames and breeder-specific yield potentials complete the profile.
