Highland Thai Regular Seeds

This is an unusual cultivar from the highlands of Northern Thailand and the nearby border regions of Burma. It may have originated through Yunnanese chinensis cultivars hybridising with narrow-leaflet Thai ganja cultivars. This is a process through which some Indochinese ganja cultivars are thought to have originated.

This strain is cultivated by various ethnic groups in this highland border region, including the Lahu, a trans-border hill tribe living in northern Thailand, northern Laos, Burma and Yunnan. Its appearance and effect are markedly different from those of the Thai-Lao ganja gene pool of the Mekong region of Northeast Thailand.

The Highland Thai strain can grow exceptionally tall, given space, potentially reaching over 4m in soil outdoors. Plants can have notably broader leaflets than typical Thai ganja cultivars. Seeds are large, also suggesting a genetic connection to Yunnanese chinensis strains.

Calyxes are large and resinous, with denser bud formation than is usual for a ganja strain. There are two main phenotypes, namely green and purple. Green types often have a musky, citrus aroma, and purple-blue phenotypes can have mango-carrot scents.

The high has been described as unique in providing a clear conscious expansion with a calm quality.

This is a rare and little seen strain that is recommended to collectors and breeders.
