Green Thai
Also known as: Thai Green, Thai Stick
Green Thai Strain Overview
Green Thai is a classic landrace sativa strain originating from Thailand, specifically the mountainous regions of the country. This pure sativa has been cultivated for centuries in Southeast Asia and represents one of the original cannabis genetics that contributed to many modern hybrid strains. The strain gained international recognition during the 1970s when it was exported as 'Thai sticks' - cannabis buds tied to bamboo sticks with hemp string. These traditional bundles became iconic in cannabis culture and helped establish Thailand's reputation for producing high-quality sativa cannabis.
Green Thai plants are characterized by their tall, lanky structure with long, slender leaves typical of pure sativas. The buds are airy and elongated rather than dense, with vibrant green coloration and occasional orange pistils. The strain has a relatively long flowering period compared to modern hybrids, reflecting its tropical origins and adaptation to the Thai climate. Green Thai is known for its cerebral, energetic effects that are characteristic of traditional Southeast Asian sativas, making it a favorite among connoisseurs seeking authentic landrace genetics.
Notable features include the strain's distinctive aroma profile that combines spicy, herbal notes with subtle citrus undertones. The effects are predominantly cerebral and uplifting, with minimal body sedation. Due to its pure sativa genetics, Green Thai requires specific growing conditions that mimic its native tropical environment, including warm temperatures, high humidity, and extended flowering periods. The strain remains relatively rare in modern commercial markets but is preserved by breeders and enthusiasts interested in landrace genetics.

Green Thai Strain Growing Information
Green Thai is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. The plants require a tropical climate with warm temperatures (70-85°F/21-29°C) and high humidity (60-70%). Flowering time is exceptionally long at 12-16 weeks, reflecting its pure sativa genetics. Plants can reach heights of 6-10 feet outdoors and 4-6 feet indoors, requiring significant vertical space. Preferred growing method is outdoors in tropical or subtropical climates, though experienced growers can cultivate indoors with careful environmental control. Expected yield is moderate, with airy buds typical of sativas. Special considerations include the need for extended vegetative growth periods, support structures for tall plants, and careful monitoring for mold due to high humidity requirements. The strain is not recommended for growers in temperate climates without controlled environments.
