Lieu Hanh
Also known as: Lieu Hahn
Lieu Hanh Strain Overview
Lieu Hanh is a mostly sativa cannabis strain created by crossing Vietnam Black with Nevil's Haze. Originally developed by FET of the Spice Brothers collective, this strain was specifically bred for its powerful cerebral effects. The breeder carefully selected a Vietnam Black male and a Nevil's Haze female from hundreds of F2 phenotypes, choosing parents based solely on their psychoactive qualities rather than yield or appearance.
The strain is characterized by its extremely long flowering period of approximately 15-16 weeks, making it challenging for indoor cultivation but rewarding for patient growers. Plants exhibit typical sativa growth patterns with significant stretch during flowering - often doubling to quadruple in height. The buds develop a distinctive aroma profile that ranges from sweet and piney to pepper-fruity, with properly cured samples producing a caramel or hash-like flavor when smoked.
Lieu Hanh represents a preservation effort of old-school Southeast Asian genetics combined with Dutch breeding excellence. While the original Spice Brothers collective is no longer active, the strain has been reproduced by other breeders including Hyp3rids and MadMac to maintain these rare genetics for future generations.

Lieu Hanh Strain Growing Information
Lieu Hanh is a challenging strain to cultivate, recommended only for experienced growers. Indoor flowering time is extremely long at 15-16+ weeks with plants requiring careful height management due to significant stretch (2x to 4x height increase during flowering). Plants develop narrow-leaf sativa characteristics with large fan leaves and produce moderate to low yields of high-quality buds. Outdoor cultivation is preferred in suitable climates due to the extended flowering period. The strain requires patience but rewards growers with exceptional quality over quantity.
