It is a problem that has (almost) never affected my plants in the past, if not insignificantly; indica & hybrids do, even sativas like cbg destroyer, but pure landrace sativas never ...that's one thing back in the day I never had a problem with,...there are some benefits to a cool low humidity northern climate .............lovely resin and structure on her tho ,.....this thread gives me hope ....

sounds like this years weather has been the perfect storm for it ......i hope nothing was effected soo bad it was lost .....bet its been a shock to the system even your pure sat's been hit,It is a problem that has (almost) never affected my plants in the past, if not insignificantly; indica & hybrids do, even sativas like cbg destroyer, but pure landrace sativas never ...
But this year everything was hit, even Jamaican and some nld crosses that I made;I have a thai x original haze seedling that I had to hit with the thai, it also was attacked by powdery mildew ...
The only one to resist is Suroeste x Oaxaca, nothing touches it, the rest is impressed ...
This is life(and climate change)
Can anyone estimate how long she has to go? thanks
An interesting vdo in Thai talking about local sativas. It's claimed Hang Galok (squirrels tale) is pretty much even on CBD/THC, while Tigers Tail is potent in THC, this strains hails from Sakhon Nakhon, one of the provinces well know for Thai stick production
I would find it hard to believe that Thai stick had any CBD to speak of. I take CBD a lot and know the effects and it is nothing like Thai stick.
And wtf are those sticks in that video? Wish I could understand Thai.
The Thailand University developed and breed the CBD variety's they are new.
The CBD types were handed out along side with the High THC types by the Government.
I agree, but wait 'till the pollen starts flying from all these new growers (which it will). If they are not careful they will lose what they have. The market will dictate American hybrids which most tourists under age 55 will want. The old varieties will be a niche market unless tastes change drastically.I would not be counting on the Government to do that or the Uni.
The people that grew it under extream risk would be the ones that still have the good Thai lines and i bet most of it is still in the hands of old farmers and their family's and circles of friends.
