I was sent a batch of new seed stock from Lao courtesy of the Real Seed Company and wasn't planning on running them now because I have some of my own crossed seed stock to run but I have extra room this winter and don't want to let them sit for a year. So here it is. 13 in the paper towel.
A classic Lao ganja domesticate from southern Laos. This region is the source of some of the finest of each season’s ‘Thai’, namely the golden seedless ganja known to long-term expats in Thailand.
From seed to harvest, this a 6-month strain. The best of each year’s crop is typically sown around August to September and harvested from February to March. This ensures that flowers receive only minimal rain and ripen during the dry sunny weather at the beginning of the hot season.
Cannabis cultivation in Laos and neighbouring Isan is not exclusive to any particular ethnic group. But among the communities best known for producing first-class ganja in areas such as Sakon Nakhon (Northeast Thailand) and Savannakhet (Laos) are the Phu Thai. Unlike in northern Isan, prohibition has had only minimal effect on traditional ganja culture in Laos. Until very recently, plants were a conspicuous feature of most gardens in Phu Thai villages.
‘Strong musk and spice, but instead of the more usual pungent fruitiness they exibit a mixture of smells ranging from floral, and almost vanilla to buckskin, hardwood, and suncured Turkish tobacco’ writes a grower working with this accession indoors – ‘very different from the tobacco smell of the other Lao lines.
‘Other smells that can be present in a quite subtle way are very ripe banana, carrot tops, white chocolate, fresh cream, and calumus leaves. The smell is somehow smoother as well I think and definitely more complex than the other types. The muskiness is different as well. It’s sharper and more animal-like.’
