Khok Phu OG Phu Phan General Population 2024 is a short-day Lao-Isan landrace cannabis accession originating from Khok Phu in the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakhon Nakhon Province, Isan, Thailand. Cultivated at OGPHUPHAN Farm by Pi G-Boy and his family, this domesticated population represents an open-pollinated general population.

This accession is part of ongoing conservation work by Isabella of the Zomia Collective, documenting and preserving traditional cannabis populations of Northeastern Thailand. Seeds were collected at Point of Origin and are stored in the Zomia Genetic Library to maintain genetic diversity.

Geography

The accession grows in remote mountain valleys on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau within the Phu Phan Mountains, at elevations around 200 meters. The region’s fertile soils, warm climate, and monsoon season create ideal conditions for tall sativa morphology and a short-day flowering response.

Collection Details

Khok Phu OG Phu Phan General Population was collected in 2025 by Isabella directly from farmer G-Boy at OGPHUPHAN Farm. Multiple phenotypes are present, including Tiger Tail (Hang Suea) and Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok), to preserve the full spectrum of genetic and phenotypic diversity.

Seeds were harvested at peak maturity using traditional open-pollination methods, cleaned, vacuum-sealed, and stored in the Zomia Genetic Library. This collection emphasizes maintaining classic Lao-Isan landrace traits with minimal introgression.

Botanical Characteristics

The OG Phu Phan population exhibits tall, narrow-leaf morphology, long internodal spacing, strong lateral branching, and high resin production, reaching 2–3 meters in height.

Tiger Tail (Hang Suea): Robust phenotype with thick colas, dense trichomes, and strong branching. Aromas are earthy spice, herbal musk, and woody undertones. Effects are clear-headed, energizing, and ideal for daytime use.

Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok): More delicate and elongated phenotype, producing foxtail-like colas and lighter flowers. Aromas are sweet, floral, tropical fruit, and mango. Effects are uplifting, euphoric, and long-lasting.

The terpene profile ranges from earthy spice to bright tropical fruit, providing a clean, stimulating, and paranoia-free psychoactive experience, reflecting classic Mekong sativa characteristics.

Conservation Status

High conservation priority. While seeds are currently abundant, modern agricultural pressures, declining cultural cultivation, and potential hybrid introgression threaten the future of Phu Phan cannabis. Conservation efforts aim to safeguard this Lao-Isan landrace, ensuring the persistence of both Tiger Tail and Squirrel Tail phenotypes for future generations.
