Mango Thai General Population 2023 is a landrace cannabis accession from Laos, listed as Mango Thai in the seed catalogue of The Real Seed Company (RSC).[1] RSC classifies it as a traditional Lao-Thai cannabis landrace cultivated for ganja.[1]
Geography
RSC reports that the variety is most closely associated with central Laos, and particularly Vientiane Province, although it can be found in cultivation anywhere from Isan in northeastern Thailand to the north-west of Laos.[1] It writes that whether the landrace should be called Thai or Lao is open to interpretation: northern Isan and central Laos face each other across the Mekong, which connects the two regions economically and culturally, the language of northern Isan is Lao, and local people often refer to both sides of the river as Meuang Lao. RSC adds that seeds go where people take them.[1] The listing gives a latitude of about 21° N.[1]
Collection Details
The listing gives the sourcing as The Real Seed Company, Laos, Southeast Asia (2023), and states that the seeds come from the same source as the original accession of Mango Thai, which it describes as tribal farmers contracted by a Thai broker to cultivate ganja for the Thai market. RSC distinguishes that source from a 2019 accession it associates with Vientiane.[1] The listing for Mango Thai #2 (Mango Thai #2 General Population 2023) adds that the two villages from which the recent batches of Mango Thai were sourced are closely linked and use the same tract of hills and border jungle to cultivate cannabis.[2]
The Kwik Seeds listing of the same line, on the shop RSC calls its other site,[3] dates its seed to 2021 and gives a latitude of about 18° N. It describes that accession as made further north in Laos, where an ethnic-minority village had been contracted to raise the crop by Thais who provided the seed and taught techniques such as the spacing of plants, the timing of harvest and the removal of males, and reports that the buds were skilfully grown, only lightly seeded and carefully cured.[4] Neither listing names a village or a farmer.
Cultivation Details
RSC gives the purpose as ganja, which it glosses as seedless or lightly seeded buds, and the regional growing period as about six months from seed to harvest. It lists greenhouse or outdoor growing.[1] Kwik Seeds gives the regional harvest as late December to early January, which was RSC's line until January 2023.[4]
Botanical Characteristics
RSC gives a height of 2 to 4 metres and Sativa-type architecture, and describes two main variants: one with strong fruit scents of mango and papaya, whose plants tend to be lighter and softer green, and one with darker, earthier aromas of tobacco, leather, spices and musk, whose bracts are darker and become more so on curing. It reports resinous buds that coat a joint in oil, and a thick, flavourful, smooth smoke.[1][4] RSC describes the line as powerfully aromatic, with effects from pleasantly euphoric to intense potency, and considers Tai landraces the essence of foundational varieties such as Haze, Skunk and Northern Lights.[1]
