Also, brush up on those photography skills there boy
Haha I don't have a decent camera yet.
She autoflowered. Im at 30 north so she shouldn't be flowering yet.

Looking great man... gotta love those slim aligator tails, looking really oldschool Thai! Can't wait to sprout mine although I'm not sure if I will be so lucky with the germination rates! Really weird behaviour as well with all those preflowers. Let's see how it goes and if we are able to see a more detailed picture of that.
It's often easy to get better results as the cameras don't know what they should do even if they are super pro! lol. It seems you are getting too close to the plant without selecting the macro mode if available (definitely less than the minimum focusing distance of your device), otherwise you could be aiming to the background with the focusing spot, where the image is ok, instead of focusing the leaves.
Vibes.

Taking pics with your camera phone is risky. Are you removing the meta data embedded in your images before posting online?
No I have not, who has it? Is it seeds or clone? Is it pure or a hybrid?
Where is it from?

PNG = Papua New Guinea
I don't know how long cannabis has been widely grown in the PNG and the islands around there., but I bet people in Sumatra and a few parts of the Philippines cultivated cannabis long before the Papuans did.
I've never grown any seeds from Papua, but most of the country has some of the highest rainfall in the world, so any strain that thrives there could probably be grown under a constantly running tap with a waterproof light and still not mold..lol..there's been years around here where I wish I had some strains like that....some years were so bad with torrential tropical rains that even many of the Thais I had in the bush molded, but mold, much like insect infestations tends to happen more often with plants that are not as healthy, vigorous or thriving like they should. But when growers complain about mold each year, part of it is the strain selection, part of it is that some years are wetter than others and partly it is how well you grow.
My father was in PNG during WW2..I heard stories many times about how the natives would often visit their camp to trade them mangoes and other tropical fruit for tobacco, but when the soldiers tried to follow them into the bush to find out where the mango or papaya trees were, they lost sight of them every single time within just a few yards from the clearing...he said they seemed to "vanish" into the rain forest before your eyes and they never did find out where those mango trees were. Australians got on well with the Papuans, the Papuans liked the Aussies and Yanks a whole lot better than the Japs who were low on supplies to trade and treated them poorly. The Aussies called them "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels" as they used carry wounded troops for miles over mountainous rain forests to field hospitals...all for a small pouch of baccy.

Quite so, yet Papua New Guinea has taller mountain ranges than anywhere in SE Asia - even Kalimantan/Borneo, but like them sits on the equator, so it's geographical suitability, coupled with it's cultural and spatial isolation, makes it home to some unique weed.
As this is a Thai thread I'm excused to drop some Thai heads...
don't ask...
G`day Sam
Papua New Guinea .
The local folks . Seeds . These days I`d expect both pure and hybrids .
@ Donald .
Was it FET that was playing with PNG Gold Wal ? 303 ??
Thanks for sharin
EB .
I truly Love this thread
Thanks to all its contributers
Much Respect to Bushweed
Damn brother ,your grows never cease to amaze .Each season the crosses sound better the plants look more exotic .I love those giant Thai colas an colas of snake tounge foxtails .Keep doin what you do an thanks for sharing
Curious if anyone is growin what was considered the Golden thai or buddah thai ? Not sure if they are the same but i recall them being reguarded as some of the highest quality

I really wish I knew the background of this plant. She is quickly becoming my favorite. Long pistils and shiny calyxes. I know you guys can't see them well and I apologize. For now; atleast, look at her growth structure and notice the airy bud structure that is developing. She might be one of the more wild sativa looking plants. Even still, with her weird flowering behavior, I imagine I'll be able to harvest a little before November. A member once compared it to haze and now I understand. This must have been a farmed line or something.
Hi everybody
Not Thai but I have found a video where you can see some PNG weed. As you have been talked about it here

Nice doc. PNG has always been on top of my favorite to go holliday list.
If I 'll have enough money, and this will take years because I'll have to save for a new car first, I'll definately go. PNG weed is legendary!

I'm gonna theorize that it might have something to do with decarboxylation of THCA into THC. (See links)
When the plant is fresh most of the cannabinoids are in their inactive acid form. When smoked the heat will immediately transform the inactive THCA into THC but decarboxylation also occurs with time. Maybe cured material releases more THC than fresh material when smoked because more of it was decarboxylated to begin with.
I'm waiting for SamS to shoot down the theory if it makes no sense.
You're pretty much spot on. I read a paper sometime last year that studied the conversion of inactive to active THC, and the results were that it took 230ish days to achieve maximum conversion.
Thats a long time to wait for your bud to cure

I haven't read the link..but I will get around to it!
If all plants that have a higher percentage of THCA improve immensely after several months of storage and plants that have a low percentage of THCA only slightly improve after the same duration then that's probably why this vast improvement happens.
All that needs to happen now is for lots of different high and low THCA plants to be grown and then put through several evaluations and tests.

My red thai .. She's now 3 feet tall! A bit overfed but she stand it
Red Thai
Genetics: Pure Southeast Asian Ganja Plant
Latitude: 15°N
Regional Maturation: late December to early February
Height: 4m or more
Aroma: rich and 'leathery' like good tobacco, but nicer!
Characteristics: long red pistils on dark calyxes, big yields, great 'Thai' flavour
Grow Type: Outdoors or greenhouse
This is a big ganja strain grown in Northeast Thailand ('Isaan') and Lao.
Buds are typically a deep reddish-brown to mauve-brown and have unusual long red pistils ('hairs'). Smoke is particularly smooth and rich. The precise aroma is impossible to describe: something like leathery pipe tobacco, with hints of chocolate, coffee and musk.
These are large plants, capable of going over 4 metres outdoors. A superior plant to the 'Mekong', though unfortunately only limited stock is available at present.
The high is very euphoric and long-lasting. It is possible this 'Red Thai' line is related to a prized '70s Lao/Isaan strain that was grown in this region and known to smokers as 'Sa Daeng' or 'Red Ganja'.

This thread has branched out in many directions but the information is all really helpful. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and to Samson4 for starting this thread, good to see you posting again. The enthusiastic search for mythical Thai strains is infectious!
