There can never be too many pictures of such an exquisite plant. It's looking great!
I'm sure if it was named Thaistick sativa or something else "sexy" there'd be much more attention. But what's in a name? That's a pure old style Thai right there. Keep us posted
Are you growing in a mediterranean climate? When does it get "cold" where you're at?
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm having a lot of fun growing this one
I'm in the Semi-Arid Southwestern US. We get a maybe two hard freezes over the Winter, in which case I'll cover her up. It's starting to cool down at night - by that I mean we're getting nightly lows between low 50's and high 40's
Agree, lovely plant, please keep us posted Zero Hedge 
Too bad these were only a freebie...got a pack, but would love to have another one or two, given low germination rates and high hermie rates.
Cannot wait to what you'll say about the smoke...

she's hunched over, but still standing
She's still going. I had to prop her up as she got pretty bendy.
Really beautiful plant.
The aromas have stabilized - bright sweet lemon with a hint of earthiness.

Looks really good zero...producing quite abit of resin...you've found a nice one there....seems to be a unique an rare line....
Yes, furry is a word that comes to mind... and Itt is def there, too.
She's still up, still not quite ready. I did take down some branches that I pollinated, so I have a bunch of seeds. I think the male used, even tho this is just a 1+1 genetic capture, the male used was really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing how the off-spring are - male was def less "furry" and It-like. I'd love to trade with anyone that also made some Bokeo off-spring. Widen the pool and all. Or if you have Bokeos from TRSC that you don't think you'll grow, hit me up and lets get them mixed in.
I also tried some from the pollinated flower,,, nice buzz. Not a smoke report by any means, but there was decent potency, and I figured as much as the trichomes, the stalked capitate glands, were a-plenty

Hello there, Thule
Thanks for stopping by.
The terp profile moved a little since it's cured and now has more of a menthol/mint aroma. The trimming was very difficult and I ended up leaving a lot of the leaves, tho took as many fan leaves off that I could. The smoke is mild and nice, very functioning. There's a lot of material and I might wash it into hash as well as make some tincture. My beans didn't turn out so well, still a little blonde, and I think where I placed the plant just didn't get enough sun as the days grew shorter - good info for next time.
Overall it was a nice plant to grow and learn.

Stoked to see the wide-angle shot of my backyard Bokeo (seen above) used by TRSC on their IG promo.
I guess they're re-stocked, or at least are offering a Bokeo #2
Sourcing: The Real Seed Company, Laos, Southeast Asia, 2022
Purpose: Ganja (seedless or lightly seeded buds)
Latitude: 20° N
Regional Harvest: Seed to harvest = 6 months
Height: 2 – 4 metres
Characteristics: Intense rich aromas; euphoric luminous high; Sativa-type architecture
Classification: C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica
Grow Type: Greenhouse or outdoors
A new accession from the Bokeo region of northwest Laos, east from the Mekong – a distinct type from our earlier ‘Bokeo’ offering, hence the new number.
Sourced from farmers in communities that emphatically do not have contacts with the kind of Asians or Westerners who might introduce modern hybrid seeds. Furthermore, fields and plots are far distant from any conceivable source of contamination, isolated by hundreds of kilometers of sparesly populated highlands and jungle.
In other words, we have every reason to believe that – as with all our accessions from Southeast Asia – these are seeds from absolutely pristine and authentic traditional ganja domesticates. Exploring these accessions now – not waiting for reports posted in online realms where ulterior motives are rife – is recommended.
Please note that currently even the best specialist and academic studies on landraces and traditional cannabis cultures are produced by outsiders with little to no direct experience of these regions. ‘Armchair speculation based on armchair speculation’ is a very fair description of received wisdom in the West as regards the status of old-school ganja strains. For those of us who do know Laos and Thailand first-hand and over decades, what comes across clearly in these publications and online forums is that authors do not grasp how the culture and economy of ganja cultivation works – or the practical implications for how, where, and by who fields are sown, when the issue at hand is these crops remaining unaffected by Western hybrids.
As ever on all our sites, prices should not be taken as necessarily indicating quality.
All tropical ganja is cultivated as a six month crop, seed to harvest. The ultra-long flowering tropical Sativa is a myth

I thought about that, but frankly I wrote to them some months ago and said I'd grown out the Bokeo and they were free to use any of my pics should they ever want to

But actually, the more I look at your pictures, the more I think they don't look that much like cannabis from afar, whether in veg where they look more like bamboo, or in bloom where they look as a kind of weird bush. It makes me want to give it a go more and more.
PS:
I have too many seeds !!!
