Thai
Thai refers to a collection of landrace Sativa cultivars originating from Thailand, historically recognized for their role in the production of 1960s and 1970s 'Thai sticks.'
About Thai
Thai is a classification applied to various landrace strains originating from unspecified regions within Thailand. These cultivars are widely considered to be pure Sativa genetics. They achieved significant notoriety during the 1960s and 1970s as the primary component of 'Thai sticks'—a method of preparation where sticky flowers were skewered on bamboo stems and bound with string, a technique often associated with the term 'Rasta Hair.' Because of this history, many seed banks offer their own in-house phenotypes or selections of Thai genetics. The flavor profile is generally characterized by citrus notes, potentially attributed to a higher concentration of the terpene limonene, though some reports also note the presence of blue cheese-like undertones. Consumers typically seek out these flowers for their reported energizing effects, which are often described as conducive to focus and creativity.
Plant characteristics
Thai landrace plants are known for their ability to develop into massive specimens when provided with sufficient space. They are characterized by a relatively short flowering cycle and the production of large, towering buds. When cultivated indoors, these plants typically reach maturity in 9 to 10 weeks, while outdoor crops generally finish in late November. The plants are noted for producing a pungent aroma throughout their growth cycle.
