A lovely ganja strain from Southeast Asia's "Emerald Triangle" region. Buds have great resin coverage and are denser than might be expected for a tropical "sativa" when cultivated outdoors. The dominant aroma is minty with musky ganja undertones. The initial high is very euphoric, giving way to a full and satisfying stone in body and mind. Consuming larger amounts can give psychedelic effects. Buds form in large clusters. These are very vigorous irregularly branched plants that can grow to 3 or 4 metres outdoors.

12 seeds for £29.99

5 seeds for £15.00

Looks nice, but safe to say due to it being an Asian sativa, it's flowering time outdoors is not going to agree with a Northern Climate like Canada? Oh darn. So any new strains coming out with reasonable flowering times for outdoors like Malana Cream?

The Mekong Haze takes 16 weeks to flower, I don't think this is the same strain mind you.

yeah, I am sure you are looking at 16+ weeks with something this dense and tall... too bad i already have other things on my plate.. a cross between this and the nanda devi would be one of my goals

I think you will find plenty of 14 week phenos with this variety --- it will be ready by mid December

curious that somebody gave this (and the Kerala and Mazar) threads a "1 star" vote --- there's no way anybody could have grown it out yet

does Real Seed Co have some "haters" on our case? hahahaha

Hi,

I like the Asian strain ! long flowering but that is largely to reward by a quality that does not have any polyhybrids!

the only defect of these strains is the hermaphrodism which obliges has to make of large selection if one wants to work with…

does it come from bottom or high-Mekong?Low-land or High-land ?

cheers

hi Milton

Mekong High is a Dutch Passion strain - it will have had plenty of selection done on it, and will no doubt have a much quicker finish

the RSC Mekong has not had any work done on it in the west - it is a pure heirloom/landrace plant

all best

thanks for that info namkha. Ive been intrested in growing some satvia strains for quite some time I was think of a outdoor grow so i dont have to worry about headroom, would you know how they would do in the scottish weather? when i last look at my mates his had that jungle feel to it (cant explain it any other way) so would love to grow some monsters outdoors.

sorry if this sounds like a ramble very little sleep added with wake and bake my heads melting as i type.

I'm no expert on outdoor but I doubt that they'd finish in Scotland.

Hi Milton

these wouldn't have a chance in hell outdoors in Scotland

these are pure tropical ganja plants, not worked for outdoors in Europe --- even in Southern Europe you would probably need a greenhouse

if you want to try a nice jungli style pure plant outdoors you could have a go with our Nanda Devi

this would be one possibility

get an established outdoor line such as Voodoo from Dutch Passion (based on Thai genetics, established for Northern Europe for a good 20 years or so)

then cross that with our Nanda Devi

the F1 should make a great outdoor plant

the mold resistance of the Nanda Devi is top

so you could leave it out until late October to finish up if you had to

and the highs and flavours should be lovely

I was about to start a thread asking for some opinion on an RSC strain that might survive in Scotland, I am around 58n so any plant has its work cut out but if you think the Nanda has the best shot for mold resistance (and it will need it) then I will give it a go.
