Thai weed grown from bagseed near Ching Rai (3 phenos)

Hey dudes!

This stuff is from Chiang Rai. All I know about it is that my friend's friend grew it from seeds he found. To me it seems like 3 phenos of the same strain, but I have no way of being sure. They have very similar flavors, but they've only been dry for about 3 weeks. A lot of the weed from that area comes from Laos, so it could be a Lao variety originally.

"Sativa Pheno"

This one is the most typical sativa of the group in terms of effect and high.

Taste: I'm breaking up a piece right now so I'm getting a good idea of the smell. A mixture of varnish, spice and too-strong artificial mango/strawberry. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it smells incredible.

High: This is one of those plants that I can smoke, and after about 45 minutes I can forget that I'm high until something happens to remind me that I am, in fact, very high. It has a relaxing component, and it definitely elevates my mood consistently. One thing that I've noticed about this one is that every time I've smoked it I feel like dancing. Now I really like to dance, so it could be that it simply has the tendency to make one want to move their bodies in some way that flows for them. (I apologize for the pictures, I used my phone which is pretty old)

"Chunky Pheno"

When I first pulled this one out of the bag I thought that it must be an indica that the guy pulled early. I still think that it was pulled too soon based upon appearance and effects, but I'm more of the opinion that it's a sister plant to the other 2, more sativa leaning phenos. The taste is very similar; it has that same overpowering artificial mango / strawberry smell, but this one lacks the spice notes. Instead it has a hint of dankness or almost rotten fruit.

The high is purely calm. It gets me very high, but where the first pheno has a trippy, surreal feeling to it, this one simply makes me feel calm, relaxed and high. It does not have any noticeable sedative effects for me. It seems to cause a lack of inner dialogue sometimes.

"Sticky Pheno"

This one I like. I bought the guy out when I picked this batch up. I asked him if it was finished already, and he thought for a minute, breathed heavily and walked into the back room to get this stuff.

I'm rolling a joint of it right now so this will be a live report.

Smell: Spicy with a hint of like under-ripe mango. This one is lacking the syrupy overly-fruity smell of the other 2.

High: Hold on a few minutes...

Ok, back in action! This one is a lot headier than the others. I feel that it's slowed me down a bit, but again in a calming, mentally stimulating way. A bit trance-like. No anxiety from any of these phenos in my experience. This is less intensely trippy than the others, but it still has a funny vibe.

Hope you enjoyed reading. I'm saving these seeds for sure.

Fantastic, thanks for posting.

Thai/Laos, plants don't know borders. I love Laos weed. Growing some myself.

My pleasure. Lao weed... I will say that the strongest weed that I've smoked in Asia was in Northern Laos. I was at peak stoner performance and I still had to stop after a few hits and just marvel at how psychedelic and intense it was. A good Thai friend from Issan is sending me a bag of Lao bagseed from his favorite brick that he's had recently. (It's mostly brick here if it's made the trip from Laos to Thailand, the intact flowers are almost exclusively domestic.)

About to smoke a j of the chunky pheno :D


This is (เกริงกระเวีย) Krerng Ka Via strain.

He sent me a pic of a plant he sprouted and it looks like the most sativa you could imagine. Idk why I'm getting the seeds really, growing is really not plausible for me right now. I live in a small village. My neighbor on my right side is another American guy who's smoked his share in his day so he's quite cool. (Still accepts the odd joint for a rainy day if I offer)

On the left side is a minimarket / barish type thing which basically means that they have a pool table out back and a group of locals buy beer from the market and get drunk out back, which causes a direct line of sight to any place where I would be able to stick a plant. And yet... I have 3 seeds soaking in a glass overnight, I just can't help it. I miss growing something powerful.

I suppose this may have been more appropriate in the Smoke Reports forum, does anyone know if cross-posting is frowned upon here?

Some of the weed I smoked in Laos reminded me of Thai Stick without the paranoia. I can't give it higher praise than that. Much better than any hybrid or seedbank cannabis I've had.

There are other places you could post this like the landrace section of growing, or smoke reports. Anyway good luck with the grow. Do you live in that part of the world?

Good point, the landrace section, maybe finepoint has a new, nearby friend that he hasn't met yet willing to help out! :dance013:

Thanks, I'll post it on the other forums soon here. I really just intended to post the pics but the descriptions came naturally :)

The chunky pheno is really nice after being in the jars a short time. Really sharp yet peaceful buzz.

The sativa pheno consistently raises my mood, it's like a chill warm buzz with a lot of funny thoughts.

I haven't really gotten into the sticky pheno too much, it smells too good. I'd like to try it after a longer cure.



"Do you live in that part of the world?"

Yep 😁

Update on the sativa leaning pheno. After just a few weeks total in a jar it's lost most of it's syrupy fruit smell.

(There's a large difference between today and the last time I gave it a real good smell, about 4 days ago)

Now it smells nearly exactly like either varnish or paint thinner (it's been awhile since I've done any home repair, it smells like some petroleum based solvent or sealant) mixed with a dash of spice and what is now a mild scent of strawberry bubble gum. The fruit smell is still present, but where it was the dominant smell before, now it smells as though it's "drying off" or something, like the smell is fading and being taken over by the more sharp notes.

I'm about to light up and go water my tropical garden. I like to give my heliconias, diffenbachias, philodendrons etc a good soaking and misting at night, as this is the dry season in my region.

I'll pop back in a few minutes with an updated report on the effects of this pheno as it ages.

EDIT: This one is getting stronger. It has a more underwater feel to it now, like thoughts and movements seem to move in slow motion if that makes sense?

There is still no physical sedation, and the mood elevating effect is still present :) Only this time it seems to be easier to get lost in a daydream if the right music is playing or the right birds are singing.

Paranoia: It's difficult to imagine that this one would cause significant paranoia for a regular smoker. I nearly always smile and joke around more after smoking this plant. It has an aspect of empathy and joy from my very limited testing. Compassion maybe. It does seem to be getting stronger as it cures though, which is causing a more trance-like experience. That might be enough to surprise someone who's not familiar with this kind of weed. I love it :) This album has been a journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5SD2zMivU&t=1228s

Taste: Still a bit harsh, I have no idea how it was grown. It smells better than it tastes at this time, but you can see the potential.
