Ban Bua General Population 2024 is a landrace cannabis accession collected by Isabella and Éloïse of the Zomia Collective in Sakhon Nakhon, Thailand.
Geography
Ban Bua is located in Kut Bak district, Sakhon Nakhon, Thailand, within the Phu Pha growing area of the Northeastern Thailand growing region at an elevation of approximately 200 meters.
Collection Details
This accession was collected by Isabella and Éloïse in January 2025 from a broker in Ban Bua village. The seeds come from a several autochthonous, cultivated landrace cannabis populations of ranging in size grown by the villagers of Ban Bua.
Cultivation Details
The villagers of Ban Bua cultivate cannabis on a large scale, within a larger context of widespread regional cultivation.
Cultivation of cannabis in Ban Bua is prominent in the landscape, with large fields up to 1000 plants grown nearby to the farmers respective houses in order to minimise theft. Beyond cannabis, the villagers grow diverse crops, including but not limited to rice, chillies, vegetables and various local herbs.
Farmers in Ban Bua typically heavily cull male plants and heavily select for yield and quality. Pollen often, if not always, comes from plants with hermaphroditic traits, which are common in this area.
The seeds that the local farmers grow are sourced through diverse means. Primarily, they plant seeds that produced during the previous crop that are kept for the next season. Seeds are thus primarily grown on the farm and planted directly into the ground on prepared plots. Sometimes, farmers plant seeds from exceptional flowers sourced locally. Rarely, farmers will grow modern varieties alongside the traditional landraces in a separate plot.
The plants are grown according to the monsoons, with one cycle of planting and harvesting per year. The first cycle starts with planting from May to June and harvest occurs between October and February.
Indoors, the plants are estimated to flower within 16-20 weeks.
Botanical Characteristics
The plants are tall, with most plants between two and three meters in height.
In terms of morphology, the plants were exhibiting a natural apical dominance with Squirrel Tail phenos growing in a classic 'christmas tree' pattern while Tiger Tail expresses is a 'creeper' with the side branching taking place further down the length of the plant, leaving a huge main 'cola'. Foytong, a rarer, third pheno manifests similarly to Squirrel Tail. The leaf shape is narrow, slender and long with up to 9 leaflets or more. Serration is average, shallow if anything.
The plants are light green in color, both stem and leaf. Stigmas are dark brown.
The dried flowers from this accession were processed as ganja with whole branches dried and cured in semi darkness, typically in outdoor shed type constructions reserved for this purpose. Depending on the phenotype, the buds themselves are big, fluffy and thick after processing, with Squirrel Tail typically proving to be more loose and airy relative to the Tiger Tail phenos. Foytong is the loosest and airiest of them all.

Conservation Status
The accession is recorded at high conservation priority. Cannabis cultivation is legal in the area and growers are replacing traditional landraces with modern genetics all throughout the growing region.
