Bhutanese Thimphu is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the mountains of Bhutan, where farmers have been cultivating it for over a thousand years. It is a landrace strain that has been preserved in its natural form, making it a landmark strain in the sativas and a must have for the connoisseur. The strain is described as tasting both sweet and sour, with a hint of earthiness and can grow up to three metres in height. Bhutan's cannabis strains are narrow-leaf varieties and are often quite potent, though botanists state that they're actually a subtype of C. sativa Sp. Indica, which provides a mellow, cerebral high. Historically, cannabis grows wild in Bhutan and was mostly used to feed pigs, as according to locals, it tends to make users very hungry; which is why farmers often feed it to their pigs to fatten them up. The strain has become commercially available through seed companies like Holy Smoke Seeds, though growers report mixed experiences with indoor cultivation due to its extremely long flowering requirements.
