Lin Pooh General Population 2024 is a domesticate landrace cannabis accession from Ban Nan Toeng, Phu Phan Mountains, Sakhon Nakhon Province, Isan, Northeastern Thailand. This accession represents the classic Lao-Isan landrace preserved by the Lin Pooh Family. Plants are cultivated for both recreational and medicinal purposes, exhibiting tall sativa morphology, foxtailed flowers, and high resin production. The population includes Tiger Tail and Squirrel Tail phenotypes, maintaining historical characteristics of the region's cannabis heritage.
This accession forms part of ongoing conservation work by Éloïse and Isabella of the Zomia Collective to document and preserve 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 Lin Pooh farm is located in Ban Nan Toeng, a remote village on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau within the Phu Phan Mountains of Sakhon Nakhon Province, Thailand. The region has a warm, dry climate with fertile soils and an average elevation of 200 meters. Isolation of the valleys has helped protect this landrace from genetic contamination and modern hybrid influence.
Collection Details
Lin Pooh General Population 2024 was collected by Éloïse and Isabella of the Zomia Collective from multiple female plants cultivated by the Lin Pooh Family. The accession was gathered using open-pollination to preserve genetic integrity. Seeds are stored both on-farm and in controlled cryogenic conditions to support future breeding and conservation efforts. Subsequent selections in 2025 were performed by Mrs Lin Pooh, focusing on specific Tiger Tail and Squirrel Tail phenotypes.
Botanical Characteristics
Plants reach 2-3 meters in height with narrow leaves and nine leaflets per leaf. Growth follows a Christmas tree pattern, with foxtailed flowers displaying high resin content. Flowering occurs over 18-24 weeks under a short-day photoperiod. Tiger Tail phenotypes show robust, dense colas with earthy and woody terpene notes, while Squirrel Tail phenotypes are more delicate with sweet, tropical fruit aromatics. Both types produce clean, stimulating psychoactive effects.
Conservation Status
The Lin Pooh General Population is considered endangered due to genetic introgression from modern hybrids, male plant culling, and declining interest among farmers in planting the traditional landrace. Limited seed stock remains from the 2024/2025 harvest. The farm is a primary focus of ongoing conservation efforts by the Zomia Collective, with programs designed to increase male plant populations, stabilize genetic diversity, and maintain the unique cultural and horticultural heritage of this accession.
