Krabangkham Farm 'Tiger Tail' Selection 2024 is a selected domesticate landrace cannabis accession documented by Isabella in Thailand. Seeds were sourced from Khun N. Suriyan and his family in Ban Nan Toeng, Phu Phan District, Sakhon Nakhon Province. This accession represents the 'Tiger Tail' phenotype of a Lao-Isan landrace population cultivated using traditional open-pollination methods.
Geography
This accession originates from the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakhon Nakhon Province, in the Isan region of northeastern Thailand. Ban Nan Toeng is a remote village on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau. Plants are grown at approximately 200 meters elevation, in warm, dry tropical conditions typical of the Phu Phan Mountains.
Collection Details
Seeds were collected by Isabella and Éloïse in 2024 and 2025. The accession represents a deliberate selection for the distinct 'Tiger Tail' phenotype from the general domesticate population maintained on Krabangkham Farm. Seeds are produced on-farm through direct seeding and open-pollination.
Botanical Characteristics
Plants display narrow leaves with a Christmas tree growth pattern and reach 2–3 meters in height. The 'Tiger Tail' phenotype is characterized by dense colas, strong lateral branching, and a thick trichome coating. Terpene profile ranges from earthy spice and herbal musk to woody undertones, with sweet floral and tropical fruit notes. Flowering occurs under short-day conditions.
Two primary expressions exist in the broader population:
- **Tiger Tail (Hang Suea):** Bold, robust structure with thick colas and strong branching.
- **Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok):** More delicate, foxtailing colas with sweet, floral, tropical fruit aromas.
This accession is cultivated for recreational and medicinal purposes, preserving traditional Lao-Isan landrace traits.
Cultivation
- **Regional Planting:** July - September
- **Regional Harvest:** January - March
- **Height:** 2–3 meters
- **Classification:** NLD type Landrace Accession
Context
The Phu Phan Mountains are one of the most historically significant regions for Lao-Isan landrace cannabis, traditionally cultivated by Lao communities who migrated to Isan centuries ago. During the golden era of Thai cannabis, this region was famous as a Thai-Stick producing area, exporting sativa varieties pressed and tied onto skewers. The Lao-Isan landrace at Krabangkham Farm represents a lineage preserved through generations, adapted to the fertile mountain soils and monsoon climate. The farm's isolation has helped protect the population from genetic contamination. Cannabis here remains integral to cultural and spiritual practices, including medicinal and ritual uses.
Conservation Status
This accession is preserved in the Zomia Genetic Library, currently active and viable. Cannabis cultivation is legally permitted in Thailand, and this selection preserves a historically significant genetic lineage adapted to the Phu Phan Mountains.
Accession Details
- **General Population (2024, 2025):** Collected by the family during harvest processing; domesticate landrace; altitude ~200 m
- **Tiger Tail Selection (2024, 2025):** Selected by Khun Suriyan for the most distinct 'Tiger Tail' traits; altitude ~200 m
- **Squirrel Tail Selection (2024, 2025):** Selected for distinct 'Squirrel Tail' traits; altitude ~200 m
Current Status
Seeds are widely available. Increasing pressure from modern agriculture and changing cultural attitudes introduces uncertainty for the future of Phu Phan cannabis.
