Legend Of Laos by 7 East Genetics
Southeast Asian Landraces × Robust Sativa Plants
Legend of Laos is a sativa-dominant strain meticulously developed by 7 East Genetics to honor the heritage of Southeast Asian landraces. It is characterized by its robust sativa genetics, energetic effects, and a complex aromatic profile.
Appearance
The buds of Legend of Laos are typically dense and elongated, displaying vibrant forest green hues often accented with purple and gold undertones, reflecting its Southeast Asian ancestry. Resinous trichomes cover the buds, giving them a glistening appearance. The plant structure is lanky yet robust, with thin, serrated leaves and medium-sized calyxes, indicative of its sativa dominance.
Cultivation reports highlight a favorable leaf-to-bud ratio that aids light absorption and airflow, contributing to healthy bud development. Its morphology is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor growth, characterized by upward growth and an open canopy that allows for good light penetration.
Aroma & Flavor
Legend of Laos offers a multifaceted aroma profile that begins with a pungent, earthy base, layered with hints of spicy pepper and herbal freshness. As the aroma develops, it reveals notes of tropical fruit and citrus, creating a complex olfactory experience. Lab analyses indicate a rich diversity of aromatic molecules, contributing to its multi-dimensional scent.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a blend of citrus, earthy, and herbal notes, often with a sweet undertone. The pungent and spicy elements are also present, making for a distinctive taste experience that is both invigorating and complex.
Effects
As a sativa-dominant strain, Legend of Laos is primarily known for producing energetic and uplifting effects. These effects are consistent with the typical experience sought from Southeast Asian cannabis varieties, providing a spirited and invigorating sensation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages are not detailed, the strain is noted to have a THC content ranging from 15-25% and less than 1% CBD. Molecular testing has identified key terpenes such as Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Pinene, which contribute to its complex aroma and potential effects.
The genetic makeup of Legend of Laos includes unique alleles that potentiate its sativa traits and are consistent with traditional landraces from Laos. Modern genetic analyses have identified approximately 12 key genetic markers linked to its resilience and aromatic profile.
Growing
Documented cultivation reports indicate an average flowering period of 10-11 weeks. The strain has shown enhanced vigor and pest resistance compared to standard sativa crosses, with early adopters reporting a significant increase in yield.
Legend of Laos is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Its morphology supports vigorous growth and a healthy yield, making it a reliable choice for growers.
Origins & Lineage
Legend of Laos by 7 East Genetics originated from experimental breeding initiatives focused on capturing the essence of Southeast Asian landraces, particularly from Laos. The strain was intentionally crafted to emphasize its sativa characteristics.
The lineage is predominantly sativa, estimated at 80-90% sativa heritage, achieved by crossing robust sativa plants with carefully selected landraces. This process involved meticulous sourcing of genetic material and rigorous selection criteria over five years, utilizing both modern techniques and field observations.
