There are some wild Thai seeds around allso the highland Laos , and Cambodia . World of seed sold the Thai and real seed company has a few from that region . Real wild Thai is known for being one of the most hermaprhoditic landrace strains out there. Very hard to get stable plants but worth it when you do.

I still think that Thai Stick was created from a curing process, like COB or fermentation’ish. I think I may have only had about a 5 year peiod that I ever saw them. That would have been around '72 to '77. I think I remember knock offs now and then for a while but no more of the old style.
They always tasted the same and came in bricks/blocks wrapped in wax paper.I can’t remember the number in one, be we sold them for $25. We were in high school but had older friends that were very well connected we and did a good bit of dealing Colombian Red and Gold and occasional Sticks for them.
The tasted to me was very deep and complex and since it always tasted the same leads me to believe it was cured, maybe underground in a box…? If so, it would have taken a certain amount of time, and maybe in the end that’s why it ended as it would have been hard to keep a product like that going with the high demand. Probably not worth the money for such so much labor that went into them. They were all hand tied and very uniform. And they all seemed to be coming from one place as the packages looked the same.
It likely did have some special genetics and to keep it tasting the same. I just remember it always tasting the exactly the same. The last time I saw them I was in the Navy in the Northwest and a fellow shipmate from LA would always go down and bring them back before we went out to sea, lol. I was out in Nov of that year and don’t think I ever saw the real deal again after that. Knock offs, yes, but no comparison.
It was in Alabama when I had the most exposure to them. Lots of weed came into Mobile or New Orleans in the old days.

@StocktonT lives there now and seems to have a pretty good handle on things there. I believe he did mention the Laos weed.

Those strains look pretty good, and no hybrids of short indicas that I can see in them. They take forever to bloom and finish though. I have grown several strains from Cambodia and Vietnam. Also from mid 1970s skinny Thai sticks wrapped on bamboo stems. You may not get ripe seeds until December from SE Asian landrace strains.
And yes, they herm fairly consistently. You have to inspect the coals every day. The SE and Colombians strains that I have grown herm at high rates late season. But it is a different type of herming. Most herms from modern hybrids that I have grown throw true flowers or a full male branch, or the top part of the whole plant may become male. The SE Asian plants have these weird partial male yellow pistils that look like a tongue sticking out. They appear late in blooming when seeds are near finishing. Which is OK, as the seeds are set by pollinating with true males by then. But its weird. They can also be prone to PM in late season. At least Vietnam Black and Cambo Red were/are.

Yep the bannana looking little pollen chuckers , I’ve seen them on some strains so small there hard to even notice. The original og will do this and there very very tiny, that is why there have been so many s1s found. Heat or light stress tends to bring this out more but if you let it mature there seems to always be a a few that try and sneak in.

Good to hear you took some seed. Be an awesome open pollination project!

Nanners. Short for banana, like @GMan just said.( for those that didn’t know). Sometimes they hold pollen, sometimes they don’t. I’m surprised PM would effect the viet black and cambo red. Very surprised. How did you like the Cambo Red? @YoBigdaddy is growing one now.

Ive seen males with those wierd male parts with the tounge sticking out, ive seen it on a mullum line I have . They actually come out in singles up and down the main trunk in random places rather than at the internodal section.They do have normal pollen sacks on the rest of the plant. Only these are some of the most stable males ive ever come across.

The Cambodian Red in the 1970s that I had was very intense. Almost brain freeze. This stuff is a tad milder and less intense, but still strong. All sativa, very uppity high to it. It also has a delayed effect to onset, like Durban Poison. I think I am not that stoned and then I go someplace and oops, I am stoned out of my gourd. Sneaker weed. THCV in it?

I have not heard of Khmer Gold. Khmer Rouge (Cambo Red) yes, but not gold. Sounds like the same stuff though. Intense uppity high. The Kmer Gold photos posted on some other forums looks like Cambo Red. Dunno why they call that gold. It was always called Cambodian Red in the 70s that I saw and heard of back then.
The Cambodian Red in this case.

I recall the name: Golden Voice. Wich was a name given to a Cambodian Landrace.
Dont know if this was name given by Westeners.
Anyway, i think plants from Cambodia, generally from SE Asia displayed any kind of Colors.
And still today, modern versions of Cambodian lean very consistently thowards an Orange.
Im pretty shure old Lines were often red orange. But i can easily imagine some leaned thowards gold
From Thailand and Viet i see alot of Blue, Yellow, Red, Black. Any color.

Would anyone be interested in splitting an Indian landrace exchange Durandline package? 1k for 12 lines

I might be interested if we can pin down what varieties will be available. I looked through that project and it seems as though they sampled more than 12 varieties. Feel free to shoot me a DM.

I read through that project a while ago but where did you find a seed offering for the Durand line project? I’d be interested in looking at the details.
Cheers
