Here's a few quotes I've collected from old kiwi grower scrubdog who has some experience with Sumatran strains:
"Indonesian is the most consistently potent sativa I have ever grown or smoked. Very racey, very paranoia inducing and some of the harshest tasting weed I've ever experienced. Very easy to grow, very tough, 100% mould resistant and every crop always had early flowering phenotypes that actually began flowering BEFORE my earliest skunk or indica. Apart from the taste I couldn't fault Indonesian and boy do I miss it now. I used to cross a really early Indonesian with my other sativas (especially Thai) to bring back the flowering and I thought nothing of it. Now I realise that I must have had something special. Indonesian was the first pure sativa line that I ever worked with extensively and so I didn't know any better. I thought all sativas were like Indonesian."
"Sumatran Tripping weed" as it was called in the 80's is a different animal altogether. Possibly the most potent weed I've ever smoked (equal with Thai Stick). A bit like smoking methamphetamine."
"There is a pure Indonesian landrace that is meant to be a direct descendant of a killer Thai Stick strain. I have grown heaps of it at one time and it is seriously dangerous stuff. Like Haze on steroids."
What's the aroma??? Any incense
Keep on growing

I was very surprised by what I found in Indonesia....my perception was that strict religious practices would ensure that cannabis culture was extremely rare and underground, however I found a burgeoning middle class with liberal attitudes, and now that I have access to Indonesian cannabis seeds, I will endeavour to collect rare quality ones that I will share freely with the community here, along the lines of what billyblog has done with the Malawi Gold. I would also love to share some of the crosses I've made using Kangativa and Nevil's work, but alas I have promised not to....
