Thanks for linking, I didn't think to do that. A great @dubi travelogue.

We should be listening to people who've actually been to Thailand/lived there. First hand experience. There's obviously great stuff there still, whether Thai stick or not.

Happy New Year

That’s a beaut!

What Height do you think it would have got untrained au natural?
probably over 20 ft , the green house roof was 4.5 metres ,
and it hit that then grew along it a fair bit ,
plus it was a cutting , ideally i should have waited longer and planted later after the longest day so it didnt get so large , became a bit hard to care for and hard to feed despite the size of the garden bed it was in ...
happy new year too mate ,
hope its a prosperous one for you ...

ftl = faster than light right ???

for sure , things that landau shares , dubi and others with extensive experience of thailand from regular visits are certainly more reliable than guys who just google , or listen to the stories of others ....

Ive become smitten with the Laos you grow, Donald. 👍 the broad and wide frame of the plant, with huge sweeping arms of buds. Have you been growing just the one same line over the years, or multiples?

Peace,
F2F
i grew a handful one year then the selected cutting for several seasons after,
i still have some seed of it that i made , and a few of the original seeds ...
i was pretty smitten with her too f2f ,
a lovely lady indeed , she treated me well . lol ...

Cheers mate :)

I noticed the ladder next to it.

I have zero experience with tropical plants like this. What stage/week is it at in that photo?

what did the locals call this one in Udonthani?

the ladder was 4.2 metres ,, high enough so i can reach the roof , and the top of the plant ..

it was a few years ago now , but that shot was towards the end of its flowering, typically sativas like her flower for up to 16 weeks in the tropics ...
My friend who sent it , blb , bad lower back , said it was the strongest sativa he had ever sampled , and he lived in udon for quite a while from that i know ,
a friend who visited there said the stuff blb grew normally was so strong it was scary ...

the plant i selected wasnt overly potent, certainly potent enough, but just super nice high with no come down....

yea i recently watch a sci fi show where they had ftl drive ,, took me a while to work out what they meant , hahaha ..

so the phenos went from Friday night frights to feeling alrights?

The locals really don’t get enough credit for these plants imo. Westerners seem to want to “rescue” And preserve things like the locals don’t know how seems a tad patronising to me.

That sounds like a nice day brightening herbal tonic mate. How was the tolerance build up on it/ accumulative side effects?

Haha ya the old sci fi just assumes you’re up to date on that stuff these days.

“Another life” ~ Netflix. If anyone is into sci-fi I recommend it, has that nice feel of a fresh new universe like the original Star Trek or Star gate had.

hahaha , yea ,, i could probably find something the same or similar with some hunting in the seed, just need that dry finish to mature the plants properly ,
i am at the same latitude as udonthani btw ... so the climate is similar ...

yea i hear u on that and totally agree,
there is a story with this seed that ive told a few times ,
it was grown for some time by blbs friend and family from laos ,
they said generations ,, im unsure if they meant generations of plant or family , perhaps both..
and im not sure on the population sizes that were used for the reproduction ...
one would hope larger than the usual western repo done in some tent or someones cupboard ... makes me feel sorry for the plants , like caging a wild animal ...

Righto up in cowboy country by the sounds of it.
How is the mould/mildew resistance with Thai/Lao varieties being dry season finishers and all?

Came across this graphic in another thread the other day and I thought the order of selection was good Resistance- quality - yield . What do you reckon?
Indoor breeding has had it ass over head imo

And it’s fantastic the way it is I’m picking.
Westerners been growing 3-4 generarions now and think we know better lol

World wide legalisation will sort out who’s good at what.
Aussie will be in the best position in the world. Being able to grow tropicals in the north to hashplants in the south.

Agreed mate, Indoor reminds me of the battery cage farming of chickens. It’s not the way forward for something we put in into our bodies imo.

OMG, so true. The use of the term landraces annoys me to no end. They are plants that are worked diligently by the people developing them and growing them.

just need that dry finish to mature the plants properly ,

Awesome plant Mr. Mallard. Good work. I just mentioned your advice today on getting those plants limited water at the finish. I have a plant nearly ready. I could use some cooperation from the weather.
