Ban Nan Toeng 'The Boys' Selection 2024 is a general population domesticate landrace cannabis accession documented in Thailand by Éloïse and Isabella. Seeds were sourced from the Ban Nan Toeng Village Community in Ban Nan Toeng, within the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakhon Nakhon Province.

Geography

This accession originates from the Phu Phan Mountains in Sakhon Nakhon Province, in the Isan region of northeastern Thailand. Ban Nan Toeng sits on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau, a remote upland area with fertile soils and a warm, dry climate. Plants are grown at 200 meters elevation.

Collection Details

Seeds were collected in November 2024 by Éloïse and Isabella from 'The Boys', locals in the Nan Toeng Village Community during expedition ISAN02.

Cultivation Details

Plants are grown outdoors using direct seeding. Regional planting occurs between July and September, with harvest between January and March. Plants reach 2–3 meters in height.

Botanical Characteristics

Plants exhibit classic narrow-leafed Lao-Isan morphology with extended internodal spacing and upright growth. Flowering occurs under short-day photoperiods. Two primary phenotypes are present: the Tiger Tail (Hang Suea), characterised by thicker colas, strong lateral branching, and a dense trichome coating; and the Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok), a more delicate elongated phenotype producing cascading foxtail-like colas and lighter, airier flowers. The terpene profile spans earthy spice, herbal musk, woody undertones, and sweet tropical fruit including mango.

Aroma

Earthy spice, herbal musk, woody undertones, sweet tropical fruit, mango.

Effects

Clear-headed, energizing, uplifting, euphoric, long-lasting, paranoia-free.

Conservation Status

Due to widespread male culling and resulting reduced genetic diversity, this accession requires urgent conservation efforts. A breeding project is underway to increase male plant populations and stabilize seed stock. The goal is to support local farmers while maintaining the genetic integrity of this historic landrace.

Smoke Reports
