Hey @StocktonT! I hope life is all good with you… I’m enjoying your pics. It looks like you’re all enjoying new found freedoms in Thailand! So, cool. It sure is a great thing to be able to grow your own.
A few of us here on OG are getting a few seeds soon from there that are a long grown landrace by a local. I’ll let you know more once we start growing them. I can’t wait. peace
Hey yes freedom is awesome and I have been enjoying cannabis since long before its nice not to have to worry about it like before.
Best of luck with the landrace, I hope everyone grows some thai and see the magic of these types of weed. Its a long process growing thai but it is rewarding in the end if successful.
I did grow a Mango Thai from Real Seed Co. Very difficult plant to grow indoors. It had very unique single strand flowers that grew like rope! Very trippy smoke. My wife had a dream a giant June Bug was attacking her one night after smoking some
Hahaha yes I can imagine it being a hassle growing it indoors. I have given a bunch to a locL grower friend who will grow them this coming season. Its a bit early to plant but if you want trees it helps to start in time…
Trippy and dreamy, best kind haha. Did you get any special flavors on it?
I have been smoking many different things this holiday season and it is not fair to compare them all on the same grounds as I have had some things cured for 6 months, some for 3 month and some for 3 weeks as well as just dry.
Biggest flavor was the 3 month cold cured that my father in-law grew from seeds I gave him (I think). Golden yellow/light brown color. Triangualar shaped little flowers and 100s of them. Covered in resin with a very nice lime tone which turned more and more into a smooth hard to describe but very pleasent flavor. Great effect with a warm and kind yet powerful high.
A neighbor to him gave me a dark green thai. Leafier, smaller flowers but also very citrus dominant and the cold turned it towards a darker, smoother flavor. A bit more edgy than the golden one above, looking over your shoulder kind of asking “who said that?”
Got a bit of weed from a close by mountain from another neighbor who is actually called “uncle ganja” hahaha. It was quite different in effect, much more of a “what happened?” Feeling about 25-30 min after smoking haha.
South Thai, I bought some commercial south thai last summer and as it was about 250-300 grams I didn’t finish nearly anything before leaving and put it in the freezer. Been smoking from it all this holiday season and it is really potent, got a better flavor now after freeze cure than it had when I bought it. Smoother smoke and the effect is really strong, meditative and dreamy. It mixes quite well in a joint with other fresher and more racy types as it really rounds out the thai experience in a kind way…
Spread some seeds and planted some for next time, there should be some Lao Gold and Bokeo#2 arround these parts come next harvest season along with the Mango and the Stinky Thai… didn’t manage to get any of the south seeds to crack but have a few more for next time. Needs to be cold stored right or they loose viabillity quickly in tropical conditions.
The flavor was unusual and I am not sure if it was the plant or my cure but the flavor almost reminded me of tobacco.
I had two plants, and one did try to grow a more normal bud structure. Funny the more full buds were lower on the plant and at top which was closer to the lights more wispy. I bet they will do a lot better there outdoors!
I crossed it with the X18 and that really beefed up the bud structure and reduced flower time in just one generation. I buddy grew one out, and this is the Mango Thai x X18 at day 40 of flower.
Yea it would probably do better outdoors. I am thinking the little starts I have will be vegged for a good bit until March or so, still early to plant outside here (tropics) so it will be a long while until I know anything about it.
Tobacco is cool, what Angus says too. Some of them can mature bottum up rather than top down, usually its not such a big difference. I talk in general now, not about Mango thai specifically just assuming it will fit the patter for southeast asian in general.
I still giggle when thinking of your wife’s dream after smoking it hahahha.
I saw the X18 back in stock, maybe that one will be part of the 2023 collections. Got a fair bit of stuff in to the collection last year.
Did you get any apple or sour cider phenotypes out of the X18?
Yea I didn’t see if the deep chunk was back in stock but it is definitely also one that should find its way into the collection this year. Two pretty legendary varieties.
I always wanted to try the X18 due to the descriptions of sour apple cider, sounds just like something I would like to smoke hehe.
Interesting to cross both those to things like Mango Thai, makes for a fresh hybrid type.
@Comacus that x18 looks to have tamed the thai well or is it a rare one selected?
Do you mean a variety with the name “purple thai” or thai that is purple?
I have seen some thai seeds when germinated I had purple seedlings but I wouldn’t think it is super common with all purple plants at harvest but I have seen dark green, brown to almost black.
Yea the Oregon Purple Thai is what I was reading about. Or something similar with uplifting, zen, creative, talkative effect? Kinda new to the Thai stuff, but the few things I’ve smoked had the effects I’m after.
