Description
Lao Highlan from the borderlands of Laos/Myanmar/China
Lao Highland sativa displaying a tremendous vigor. Cultivated by the members of the Akha tribal group. This rare highland Laotian landrace is recommended to collectors, preservationists and breeders looking for outstanding vigor, mold resistance and unique aromas.
The fastest-growing, most vigorous landrace variety we have ever come across. This ganja strain could also be one of the fastest-flowering strains of all Southeast Asia. The plants can get huge very quickly but are fairly easy to manage even indoors thanks to their rather short flowering time.
The Akha Tribe may have brought seeds from nearby Yunnan into northern Laos as they fled China in the early 20th century. That would explain why this Sativa-looking cultivar also displays some Indica characteristics. Indeed, the sweet creamy aromas, relatively short flowering time and big trichome glands make this strain stand out from most tropical ganja cultivars. It suggests a possible connection between the Yunnanese landraces and the tall southeast Asian Sativas.
This Lao highland variety produces large and very round seeds. The plants have broad leaflets it their first stages of vegetative growth. The leaflets then become narrower though they will remain broader than most tropical landraces.
Unique Characteristics
This cultivar is able to thrive in very poor soils. This is why the growing media should not be too rich. Although the height gain is extreme during the flowering stretch, the plants start flowering very early on. After only 3 weeks. Outdoor Harvest: November to December.
Many plants turn light purple towards the end of their flowering cycle. The purple phenos tend to have deep berry aromas while the green buds often express more of a floral/vanilla smell.
Although it is rare, a small portion of the green phenotypes have a hazy/citrus nose.
Bodhi, famous strain hunter and breeder, collected the seeds directly at source during his 2014 Yunnan China and Northern Laos seed safari. A joint preservation project with the Mitseedco then allowed the team at Khalifa Genetics to preserve this rare strain while improving its sexual stability indoors.
This rare Lao highland cultivar is recommended to collectors, preservationists and breeders looking for extreme vigor, mold resistance and unique terpenes.
