Jasmine Thai
Jasmine Thai is a sativa-dominant hybrid originating from Southeast Asia, celebrated for its distinct floral aroma reminiscent of jasmine blossoms and fresh herbs. This cultivar is recognized for its landrace Thai genetics, often exhibiting tall growth, narrow leaves, and a longer flowering period.
Appearance
Jasmine Thai plants grow tall and slender with elongated internodal spacing. The leaves are narrow with a lighter green hue. Buds typically form elongated, spear-shaped colas that may exhibit foxtailing, particularly under intense light or heat. Trichome coverage appears as a fine frost, and the coloration is usually lime to forest green, sometimes with copper pistils.
