Description:
The cannabis cultivated at OGPHUPHAN Farm by Pi G-Boy and his family is a classic Lao-Isan (Mekong) landrace population, characterized by tall, elegant ‘sativa’ morphology, long internodal spacing, and high resin production. These plants reach between 2-3 meters in height, thriving in the warm, dry climate of the Phu Phan Mountains.
Two primary expressions are present in the population:
Tiger Tail (Hang Suea): Known for its bold, robust structure, this phenotype has thicker colas, strong lateral branching, and a dense trichome coating. The terpene profile leans toward earthy spice, herbal musk, and deep, woody undertones. Psychoactive effects are strong, clear-headed, and energizing, making it a highly sought-after selection for daytime use.
Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok): A more delicate, elongated phenotype, producing cascading, foxtail-like colas and lighter, airier flowers. The aroma is sweet and floral, often displaying tropical fruit, mango, and subtle herbal notes. The high is uplifting, euphoric, and long-lasting, reflecting the classic cerebral effects of Mekong sativas.
The overall terpene spectrum within the population ranges from earthy spice to bright, sweet fruit, with notable mango and herbal overtones. The psychoactive effects remain clean, stimulating, and paranoia-free, making this accession a quintessential representation of Isan’s historic cannabis heritage.

Context:
The Phu Phan Mountains are one of the most historically significant regions for Lao-Isan landrace cannabis, traditionally cultivated by Lao speaking communities who migrated to Isan centuries ago. This region became famous as a Thai-Stick producing area during the golden era of Thai cannabis, when Thai sativas were exported and smuggled worldwide pressed and tied onto skewers.
The Lao-Isan landrace cultivated at OGPHUPHAN farm represents a genetic lineage preserved through generations of natural selection, adapted to the fertile mountain soils and monsoon climate of the Phu Phan Mountains. This region's isolation and farm’s location seems to have protected the population from genetic contamination.
G-Boy cultivates his cannabis using open-pollination and traditional farming methods passed down through generations. G-Boy’s fields are located in Ban Nan Toeng, a remote village nestled within the mountain valleys on the edge of the Kut Bak plateau. Here, cannabis is not only a crop but an integral part of cultural and spiritual practices, used in traditional medicine and local rituals.
