lovely thai weed compared to anything ive seen in many years
it has that spicy smell to it like the original thai
it smokes nice and gives you an up sativa buzz after a few joints with a bit of body to go with
the oil smells so good kinda a litle haze smell in there
cant wait to try
if any good i am going to make an eith if i can
Very cool. If you don't mind me asking, is that from Thailand and did you get that in Thailand? I've never seen thai sticks where I live...and what is the green bud on the right in the first pic? Is that yours?
BTW, my sole seedling so far is definitely looking Thai...I'll update tomorrow
There's another broken the surface, but it had big problems getting rid of it's shell - had to give it a helping hand, but I don't know if that one will make it. These shells are like clams...
I posted a few pics in my thread - this is gonna be fun, if your seeds will germ too - even if it is 1 in 20...
Nice to see the distribution is wider than I thought - I don't live anywhere near London, so it's obviously moving around. Let me know if you start to germ any. We have a Thai Stick Club (UK) now...I don't feel so lonely anymore...
Lucky UK bastards LOL. Great to see there's more than just sandy weed nowadays over there.
I still wouldn't trade a z of OG kush for that. Let the flaming begin LOL
Firstly, I am not trying to start any shit storms....but the stixs I got back in San Diego
in the late 70's looked noting like that.
Not saying yours is not what you say it to be, just that the old days thai was wrapped around a bamboo stick with either fiber from the bamboo or the thai itself.
The lenght varied but was usually about 6-8 inches long (by the time I got it) and was seldom larger then a nickle...maybe a quarter...maybe.
Anyway, the thai I would get at the base was top shelf and directly from Thailand via the USS ??????. It was reputed to be dipped in opium but I doubt that report.
So, yours maybe just packaged differently so its all good. As long as the high is there thats all that matters in the final wash.
Nice bricks to be sure and the buds look so tasty.
ngakpa
i do what i like with myyy herbbb okkk
hehe
minds
i also agree it doesnt come the same as the proper thai ive had in the past but it had a litle smell of the original in it so i think it would be worth popping seeds which i will def do in the future as elevatorman is
wouldn't say the presentation of Thai herb necessarily has a link with the quality myself ... but if it is good it should be immediately obvious from the colouration, moisture content and aroma that it has been well cured
and admittedly though the best stuff I smoked in Thailand did come on sticks, it wasn't always the case that quality ganja did, by any means ... I remember some bud in Bangkok that had the most delerious, breathless lightening high ... I can't say it was pleasant - it was too racey, and in BKK just made too paranoid ... I could barely walk - but it came from a ghetto Thai area, and it did not look, smell, smoke or feel like hybrid
I read Sam Skunkman saying that the (best?) strongest Thai herb he smoked in the '70s came as loose golden buds - he reckoned it was from Issan, but some people called it Golden Laos (the growing regions of Issan are just over the Mekong from Laos anyway, and the people speak the same language and are largely of the same ethinc group etc. so there is not likely to be much in it either way ... though now I think about it, the one difference is that if it was grown in Laos it would almost certainly have been grown at a higher/high altitude)
also, I have smoked Thai which came on sticks and was pretty mediocre
The stuff we got a few years back was on sticks - and they were a total rip-off compared to this stuff. They were much more seedy and twiggy, except most of the seeds were crushed and/or non-viable. And in some cases, the stick was a wooden kebab skewer, meaning it could take up about an eighth of the total weight. The weed itself was good, but more of the 'chocolate', narcotic type.
This stuff is greener - the second 'stick' (as there is no stick in these) I saw had more red/brown, but this is clearly just individual plant batches. When I got my first stick, it was stuck together in a bunch of four, just like in OJD's pic. Stuck together with its own resin, I might add. Anyway, I saw my friend the other day and asked about more, but sadly no. He did saw me a bit off his stick to take home, and gave me another 20 or so seeds, so I'm not complaining. And I now have three seedlings up and running!
OJD - if you DO get some to grow, and if either of us only ends up with one gender each, you know what may be required...?
I envy you guys! I'll be in Thailand soon. Hopefully I'll be able to locate some good Thai stick! It'll be interesting to see how those plants turn out.
