Description

Limited Supply!

Mekhong Classic is a rare Thai landrace selection, chosen from over 1,000 seeds gifted to Prempavee in 2022 by a 91-year-old woman who had cultivated this lineage continuously for generations. Named after the Mekong River, which forms the natural border between Laos and Thailand, this variety represents the oldest genetic line Prempavee has been able to trace in the region—an authentic expression of heritage cannabis preserved over time.

Mekhong Classic develops a classic candelabrum-style Sativa structure and is exceptionally rewarding in terms of resin and yield. Naturally resistant to pests, mold, heat, heavy rains, and wind, it thrives in harsh environments where other plants struggle.

While it can grow in many settings, Mekhong Classic truly shines outdoors in hot tropical and subtropical climates. Indoor cultivation or temperate conditions can be challenging. This plant prefers to grow untouched. Topping, defoliation, pinching, or cutting can stress her, reduce yields, and may trigger hermaphroditism. This Sativa is slow-flowering and sensitive to stress, but it rewards gentle, natural cultivation practices.

The fresh terpene profiles are dominated by green apple notes. With extended curing, the aroma evolves into more complex layers, revealing liquorice and refined lemon oil. The main terpenes are linalool, followed by limonene, beta-myrcene and alpha-pinene.

Mekhong Classic displays notable chemotype diversity. Some plants are THC-dominant, while others express a balanced 1:1 THC:CBD ratio, reaching up to 14% of each, with CBG almost always present. This range offers a spectrum of effects, from more classic uplifting Sativa experiences to balanced, nuanced profiles shaped by its unique cannabinoid composition. This is a good choice for users sensitive to racy Sativas and for medical use.

About Prempavee

Prempavee is a mother and organic farmer from Isaan in northeastern Thailand. Her farm sits at the center of a region that, during the 1960s and 1970s, was once the largest source of what became known as Thai Stick. Contrary to common belief, Thai Stick is not a cannabis strain, but a traditional method of bundling cannabis flowers around thin sticks to make them easier to transport and conceal.

While Thai Sticks themselves have largely disappeared with the advent of modern preservation techniques, the original landrace genetics used to produce them remain alive. These varieties are carefully maintained by Prempavee and more than 2,000 other local farmers. The most widely cultivated landrace in the region is Hang Krarok (aka Hang Kra Rog), meaning “Squirrel Tail,” followed by Hang Suea (“Tiger Tail”), Foitong (“Golden String”), Black Mango, and others.

Prempavee belongs to long-standing farming collectives where entire villages have worked together to safeguard these genetics for generations. Their seeds come from open-pollinated fields, resulting in rich genetic diversity and a wide range of traits. Historically, these Thai landraces were prized by renowned breeders for enhancing terpene profiles, potency, and yields. Today, as legalization in Thailand has introduced many foreign varieties, these traditional Thai Sativas are becoming increasingly scarce, making their preservation more important than ever.
