How to grow Fruity Thai
Taste
Seb's take
Tropical fruit, lemon, and melon with a eucalyptus lift — a Northern Thai Sativa crossed onto Dutch-bred Indica stock, against the odds. The high is clear-headed and playful, dreamy and sensual without the fog usually owed to quality. A Cannabis Cup winner that looks like a Sativa and behaves, mercifully, like a proper Indica.
Where it comes from
Ceres Seeds solved the old dilemma of quality against quantity by crossing a top-class plant from Northern Thailand with an endearing indica bred in Holland for generations. The Thai side lends the sativa appearance and the cerebral lift; the Dutch indica lends the force and the yield. A Cannabis Cup winner, taking honours in the Indica Seeds category at the 19th High Times Cannabis Cup, which is a curious billing for a plant that looks so thoroughly like a sativa.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruits lead, with lemon and melon behind and a eucalyptus lift keeping everything fresh and clean. Sweet underneath it all, the profile carries what the record calls a nice retro-taste, an old-school character that the modern fruit-forward names rarely bother with. A bright, layered nose, the eucalyptus doing the useful work of stopping the sweetness from settling too heavily.
The high
A wonderful clear high, in the record's own words, dreamy and sensual, happy and playful, and clear-headed throughout. She looks every bit the sativa but carries the force of a solid indica beneath, a cerebral effect that leaves a smile without the fog usually owed to that much quality. A cheerful, lucid experience that behaves better than her appearance would suggest.
Growing it
Flowering in 55 to 65 days, or the 8 to 10 weeks the record cites, she carries a lush, sativa-looking habit. No height or yield figures are given, so read her stature as she grows and let the plant tell you what she needs. She is described as a large producer despite the sativa appearance, which is rather the whole point of the cross. At up to 20% THC she is strong, and a Cannabis Cup pedigree suggests she rewards a grower willing to bring out her best.
