Khalifa Genetics – Lao Highland Strain – Reg Photo – 12 Pack

Lao Highland from the borderlands of Laos/Myanmar/China

Lao Highland sativa displaying a tremendous vigor. It has been cultivated by the members of the akha tribal group for generations.
This sativa landrace from Northern Laos boasts a burst of colors and delightful flavors.
Perfect for collectors, preservationists, and breeders seeking outstanding vigor, mold resistance, and distinctive aromas.

The Akha Tribe may have brought seeds from nearby Yunnan into northern Laos as they fled China in the early 20th century.
This could be the reason behind this Sativa-looking strain showing some Indica traits.
Indeed, the sweet creamy aromas, relatively short flowering time and big trichome glands make this strain stand out from most tropical cultivars.
This intriguing connection hints at a possible link between Yunnanese landraces and tall Southeast Asian Sativas.

This cultivar is able to thrive in very poor soils.
This is why the growing media should not be too rich.
Although the height gain is extreme during the flowering stretch, the plants start flowering very early on.
After only 3 weeks.
Outdoor Harvest: November to December.

Many plants turn light purple towards the end of their flowering cycle.
The purple phenos tend to have deep berry aromas while the green buds often express more of a floral/vanilla smell.
Although it is rare, a small portion of the green phenotypes have a hazy/citrusy nose.

The taste is also quite interesting as most flowers have a fruity/soapy and woody taste.
The potency of the flowers ranges from medium to strong according to the phenotype.
It is a clean energetic effect at first which slowly turns into a calm and pleasant relaxation.

Bodhi, famous strain hunter and breeder, collected the seeds directly at source during his 2014 yunnan china and northern laos seed safari.
A joint preservation project with the Mitseedco then allowed the team at Khalifa Genetics to preserve this rare strain while improving its sexual stability indoors.
