Dutch Passion
Mekong High is a soaring retro sativa high that captures the
glory of sativas of old. This strain is unique to a remote and
largely inaccessible valley around the Vietnam/Laos border
where it was highly prized by local tribesmen. Accessing this
region was only possible with plenty of mountain climbing
equipment and local good will. As with all Dutch Passion
strains, this variety went through rigorous quality control
testing before being released in order to ensure that potency
and growth were fully characterized and stabilized.
Mekong High branches like a bush, so each plant needs room
to form side branches in order to realize its potential. This
plant forms an impressive central bud that can grow to be the
length of one’s arm, but it still invests a significant amount of
its flowering strength in the side branches, which are nearly as
long. With plenty of nutrients, Mekong high can grow to final
sizes of about 6 feet (2 meters) high and nearly as wide.
When lit properly and allowed to grow to its potential, these
plants yield a surprisingly generous harvest for a sativa. The
industrious side branching combine with the 15 to 20 inch (40–
50cm) long buds that bulk up the yield to a range more
typically expected from the indica side of the family.
The Mekong High plant has many telltale characteristics that
mark it as a sativa, including slender leaves that are a bright,
fresh green. Late in flowering, the plants take on an exquisite,
rich and spicy aroma, and some may develop copper and purple
coloration on the leaves. While some sativas prove to be
delicate, these plants are robust and vigorous, showing
resistance to mold and bud rot.
This crop provides some enviable sativa headstash. Mekong
High is an original, fresh, pure-smoking sativa that reminds
people of the way sativas used to be. The harvested buds are
sticky and scented with the intoxicating, spicy aroma that
perfume the growroom near harvest. The taste is distinctively
earthy and pleasant. The true highlight of this strain is its
happy, uplifting effect. It is exceptionally clear, making it
wonderful for creativity and socializing. The strain will be
cherished by sativa connoisseurs!
