Thai Mango #1 - Mae Chaem

Thai Mango #1 - Mae Chaem is a sativa cannabis strain, known for its cerebral effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.

Thai Mango #1 - Mae Chaem is a pure sativa landrace from Zomia Cannabis Co. that represents an open-pollinated narrow-leaf drug (NLD) landrace variety from the Mae Chaem district in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. This strain originates from the Thai-Lao region historically known as the ancient kingdom of Lan Xang, referred to as "the Kingdom of 1,000,000 White Elephants and Parasols," and was traditionally cultivated as ganja (seedless cannabis) in the Shan Hills appellation of Northern Thailand. Local minorities such as the Hmong, who are heavily associated with 'Mango' varieties in Northern Thailand, have likely cultivated this cannabis since the 1960s when they received genetics from Isan peoples, with the strain typically showing two dominant phenotypes: one fruity and fresh, and the other darker and musky.

Plants are exceptionally vigorous and can easily reach 15-20 feet in height outdoors, filling out with thick arm-length colas when given adequate space and time, with heavy myrcene and camphor/menthol type aromas throughout and flowering times ranging from 14-20 weeks depending on conditions. The highland accessions from regions with high diurnal temperature variation have been selected over time for anthocyanin-rich characteristics, often leading to purple/pink coloration by late flower. More likely, myrcene-rich profiles were selectively bred into the landrace gene pool over generations in home gardens and small plots, away from whatever ancestral landrace gene pool existed in the region previously.
