Vietnam
Also known as: Vietnamese Black, Vietnam Black, Vietnamese Landrace, Vietnamese Sativa
Vietnam Strain Overview
Vietnam is a rare pure sativa landrace strain originating from the jungles and mountains of Vietnam, particularly from regions at elevations between 200-500 meters above sea level. This strain gained international recognition during the Vietnam War era when American soldiers reportedly encountered indigenous cannabis growing wild in the region and brought seeds back to the United States, introducing this exotic genetics to the global cannabis community. Vietnam represents one of the few remaining pure sativa genetics that has not been extensively crossbred with other strains, maintaining its original landrace characteristics and serving as a living piece of cannabis history. The strain is characterized by its dramatic appearance, featuring large buds with deep blackish-purple coloration occasionally accented by hues of green and blue, earning some phenotypes the "Vietnamese Black" designation. The plants exhibit typical sativa structure with tall stature (2-3 meters), long thin leaves, conical tower-like growth patterns, and exceptionally long flowering times of 11-18 weeks. Vietnam's terpene profile creates complex aromas ranging from cream, menthol, and eucalyptus to fruity, thyme, lemon, coffee/chocolate, camphor, vanilla, and sandalwood notes, contributing to its distinctive sensory experience.

Vietnam Strain Growing Information
Vietnam is a challenging strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. Indoor flowering time ranges from 11-18 weeks (77-126 days), with some phenotypes requiring up to 100+ days. The strain prefers warm, humid conditions similar to its native Vietnamese environment and can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse settings. Plants exhibit vigorous growth with conical tower structures, reaching 2-3 meters in height with strong stems and branches. The vegetative stage lasts 12-16 weeks, requiring patience but rewarding growers with very high yields. The strain shows good resistance to mold and humidity due to its tropical origins. Outdoor cultivation is recommended for tropical/subtropical climates or coastal areas with warm autumns, finishing in early November. Indoor growers should provide 600w/m² lighting intensity and allow adequate space for the plant's substantial height and branching.
