Genetics & Lineage
Reported by Black Tuna.
Breeder-reported parentage; not DNA-verified.
Academic research: The paper reports, without genetic testing, that Punto Rojo is thought to descend from dual-use African cannabis introduced to Colombia in the 17th century. (2026; citation)
Academic research: The paper describes Punto Rojo as a Colombian landrace that the authors assembled via trio-binning, motivated by undersampling of tropical sativas. (2026; citation)

Peer-reviewed, open-access studies that examined samples sold or grown under this name. Findings describe those samples, not the breeder’s release, and may not match every product. Each quote is copied from the paper’s full text.
- Cannabinoids: The paper describes Punto Rojo shipments as Type I (THC-dominant); this is a stated characterization, not a measured value.Type ITHC-dominant
“In the 60s and 70s, illicit shipments of Type I (THC-dominant) Punto Rojo found favor among American consumers due to its special effects”

Areto Research estimateNot published by the breeder. Areto Research estimated this with AI-assisted review of the strain’s name, reported parentage and commonly described traits; it is not a source, a lab result or a prediction for any product. Details marked “general guess” have low confidence. Each estimate is replaced as soon as a breeder publishes that detail.
Source records checked: 2026-10-29. Research checked: 2026-10-29. Fields without supporting records remain unknown. Potency and terpene composition vary by product batch; use that batch’s COA for tested values. View sources.
