very interesting,
I have some clay soil i dug up from a river bed that I swear always gives me a lemon orange flavor.

True sativas can't be bought .... or if they can it's rare... or expensive ya got $$$$...lol...
I agree with red dirt 100% today's weed is a joke and gettin funnier sad when it's hard to find seeds with f1 durban chem91 in it lol ... today's weed is like our country since barrack for sensitive pussys with no balls and think it's alright to have pink hair...and gay 5year olds
I expect the NZ thing was because the ‘Mr Asia’ syndicate started in NZ and its ringleader (Terry Clark) was a Kiwi. The original ‘Mr Asia’ was another Kiwi that Clark had killed. Their SE Asian connection was based in Singapore.Evidently the main thai stick operation, whoever that outfit was, moved it's main HQ south of Thailand so to say. Malaysia? PNG? New Zealand (I read over some accounts who suggested all Thai stick came from NZ which I believe is 1000% BS)?
Wow, thank you for posting this.Not sure if this has been discussed but zomia collective is a se Asian dream come true. One of the best results and opportunity of the internet connecting cannabis lovers. Zomia sources thai Laos Cambodian at the source. Heirloom/landrace/ farmed drug lines all aquire directly from the farmers with passport info history and local territor cataloging. Not just seeds but plenty of oral history from passionate collective member who are beginning to form a fair trade type network like in coffee where farmers receive a fair share of the proceeds. Thai stick history and cultivars are presented with details only locals would know. The 2 main strains listed which were used for the sticks are squirrel tail and most recent aquisition Daidaeng- rhe original red string line. Here are pics and notes

Squirrel tail originally comes from phutan mountains and was spread around the country under king Rama v in coordination with Bangkok hospitals in the 19th century and is a basal culfivR used /acclimated to micro environments around mekong area . Zomia carries 3 iterations with 1 being preserves from original area 2 is hybridized and finishes at 14 weeks with increased resin and colors. 4 is the wildest with less selection done then with 1.

Not sure if this has been discussed but zomia collective is a se Asian dream come true….o
wow thanks for posting these. some serious vigor it looks like! the fan leaves definitly have that leathery jurrasic park look to them. im glad you got the #4 i thought that looked the most wild and vigorous. that pic with the guy holding the plant upside down you could see the strong growth.Hello Piff_cat!
I discovered Zomia last year when I was growing and showing on reddit. (Dont go there lots of misinformation).
I ordered some squirrel tail #4 and also got some laotian Mung xai freebies.
I am growing out the squirrel tail along with an ace panama and a dj short flo.
I am growing with a few buddies and we decided to attempt making seeds out of the mothers Dj short Flo as a male.
So i have some pictures for you on that squirrel tail #4.
I have been topping and training daily, my buddy just let them go, when we entered the stretch in flowering, i ended up chopping like 2ft ~60cm off of the tops… twice!
Here is squirrel tail as a sprout, as you can see the second set of leaves came out with 5 blades.

I started the training very early.

Then i let the mother grow out, and made some clones…

Rooted clone!

This is what the original mother looks like after some very intense choppings… in the seed making tent.

leaves are looking a little dead, cause they are above the lights lol,
Im scrogging and im getting some monster sized preflowers.

Grandpa’s Sativa Grow
Welcome to my summertime sativa grow. I am growing: 2 Squirrel Tail #4 from Zomia Collective. (clones of same plant). 2 Ace seeds Panama Feminized, (The flowering tent shows only white pistils so far) 1 DJ Short Flo My soil is mix: 1 Bag Happy Frog 1 Bag Ocean Forest 1 Bag Coco Loco 2 Bags...www.icmag.com

it is also very cool to get access to the information these farmers have. thailand/laos may represent the most diverse high quality heirloom/farmed drug lines.
alot of diversity india but a large spectrum of crop/weed cbd content. mexico/columbia got hit hard with all the spraying in 80s. but thailand, while maybe not the exact same as originals, gives us alot to learn.
most information thus far has come from dealers, repro lines in other areas, and older hippy types. but to see the other side of the coin with how deeply cannabis is engrained into the mekong area.
even in regular botany areas which have a language/culture gap to us are not fully explored.
alot of info/growing technique is passed down oral history. situations like this, especially since thai is legal now, hold alot of promise for growers and smokers. i also think the laos mui xai is a great line. stone guru has a log on beanbasement and they showed serious mutation/red stem/ funky leaves from the very first set. apparently there is a pheno with extreme lemon/pine and high thc. sounds similar to a jack the ripper type that line holds alot of promise as well.
22 cups of coffe at once are hallucinogenic too i heard.
3 puffs of real thai.. is hallucinogenic
overdose on hemp was mindboggeling, no joke
legalization especially in sweet spot areas definitly has the capability to mess up whatever old is still left thru pollen drift. especially with all these "new" cbd lines which are usually at least partly selected drug cannabis. i kno out west they have had alot of problems with hemp farms a mile away ruining a sensimilla crop. at some point female production will switch to sterile i think. i saw landrace mafia has come across quite a few naturally sterile highland hashplants which always yield more etc. imagine not having to worry if your crop will get seeded. even for new growers, invincible to bannanas. i def hear you on the se asian/central american topic. high humidity and isolation brought on with rural jungle type communities or islands seem to have intense terpenes and cool minor cannabinoids. there are alot of cool lines from the phillipines as well.So unfortunately, I was born in 81, and never got to smoke anything from the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s. I never even touched the stuff until after y2k.
But I did hallucinate once off of an unusually strong bag of mexican brick weed, we smoked 22 joints that night lol, and that soaring high is what Im after.
It seems my pursuit of landracy-ness, is actually a pursuit of thcv. SE Asia, Africa, and Central America is where I am looking.
The vigor off of this girl is off the charts, the stretch is easily 5x. Im plucking fans and topping in an attempt to keep the internodes from continuing to stretch. This is not an indoor variety and I hope I can do this plant justice.
I do believe that growing the mother out and cloning helped a lot as I noticed my first preflower right when I flipped the light schedule.
The more time I spend here on icmag the more interesting history I learn. Im really looking forward to those Laotian highlands. Im glad to find out someone already did a run of those seeds, ill have to see if i can track those down.
It’s disheartening to hear thai farmers are growing a lot of modern hybrids. The 70’s are gone but If we breed plants for effect we can bring back that magic, maybe even take it further.

Ya that's exactly what I was getting at. They've actually started using oryzalin instead of colochine in cannabis mitosis doubling . The one paper written using it found pretty substantial terpene increases the leaves terp content on polys was equal to bud of diploid. Probly the best way to go if saving clones is aneuploidity where plant doesn't have a full extra set rather 1 or a few extra. By finding dosage sensitive genes it's possible to target specific traits . Karyotypes describe these situations. Most simple being trisomic a single extra chromosome allows the mapping of resulting traits of each imbalance situation. Another real helpful idea is production of true breeding lines with double haploid lines. By isolating cultures of parents 10 chromosome haploid then doubling with oryzalin homogenous lines are made with just one generation. Qt this point u could even start putting those double haploids to each different aneuploid/trisomic karyotype. This could lead to much deeper understanding of how genome works and incredible diversity as well.well thats a double edged sword, they are already working on triploid chromosome cannabis, sorta like how they make seedless watermelons.
Something like colchicine messes with meiosis/mitosis and prevents cells from proper division and you have a plant with 2 pairs of chromosomes, cross it back with a normal single chromosomed plant and you end up with sterile triploids.
Thanks for the heads up on stone guru.
