Lao Sa
Between my curiosity about landrace and wild Cannabis, and the disgusting treads in seed thievery... err... pricing, I've decided that my main growing efforts are going to be put in landrace cultivars. Any new autos I may grow will be very selective.
I almost puked today when I saw autos seeds being promoted on Leafly, $500 for a ten pack!!!! P.T. Barnum was right, there's a sucker born every minute! ok, rant over ( for now lol! )
I ordered some seeds from www.therealseedcompany.com I ordered:
Mazar i Sharif
Afghan 90
and Lao Sa
They gave my 12 Kumaoni and 5 Afghan Mix as freebies! I've been itching to grow some Vietnamese landrace Sativa but the are almost impossible to find. And from my reading 80% of Vietnamese weed was really from Laos. So I went with the Lao Sa
( Lao Sa is their drug cultivar, Lao Bahn is their fiber cultivar ).
Here is what TRSC says about Lao strains:
Description
Genetics: Traditional Lao – Thai Ganja Domesticate (“Landrace”)
Sourcing: The Real Seed Company, Laos, Southeast Asia, Winter 2019
Purpose: Ganja (seedless or lightly seeded buds)
Latitude: 18° N
Regional Harvest: Seed to harvest 6 months.
Height: 2 – 4 metres
Characteristics: Musky, spicy, strong citrus; Sativa-type architecture
Classification: C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica
Grow Type: Greenhouse or outdoors
A Lao ganja domesticate direct from the highlands of Central Laos.
An indoor grower describes the high of his crop:
‘Makes you forget you exist. A complete exodus from the grips of The Matrix. Weed for space cases that need their space. 100% cerebral deep space exploration, no anxiety or paranaoia, but a heavy duty experience that keeps you wanting more. For me this is what I really look for medicinally in a true “Sativa” variety. Naturally turning purple with no cold weather or temperatures influencing.’
This strain was collected in the highlands of Bolikhamsai Province. Large-scale commercial cultivation has migrated to this region due to crackdowns on cultivation along the Mekong in lowland Laos and neighboring Isan, Northeast Thailand. These are the two historic centres of the ganja aficionados in the West know as ‘Thai’ or ‘Thai Stick’. Both regions are predominantly ethnically Lao.
Typical Lao and Thai ganja landraces take six months from seed to harvest. Farmers in mainland Southeast Asia employ two main cycles, namely sowing in June to July and harvesting in Dec to January, or sowing in August to September and harvesting in February to March.
This accession was obtained from Lao farmers in Bolikhamsai who cultivate for the Thai market. The seeds are from this season’s earliest harvested plants, which were taken down at the end of October.
Aromas are musky, spicy, and strongly citrus.
To this day, I've never had a high like the Vietnamese weed my best friend brought back from Nam. It was smokable LSd.... and lasted 6+ hours! Nothing ever compared to it excet some hash I had once!
And from reading, it may well have been Lao Sa that we smoked.
So yes, I'm a crazy man to try and grow this strain in a grow tent but I don't care if I only get and ounce form 5 plants! I simply want the experience of the finest weed on earth! I'll be putting seeds to soak shortly!
