Dak Cheung
Also known as: Laos Dak Cheung, Laos (Dak Cheung)
Dak Cheung Strain Overview
Dak Cheung is a pure sativa landrace strain originating from the Dak Cheung district of Laos at 15° N latitude. This rare landrace ganja was sourced from a private donor and represents authentic Southeast Asian cannabis genetics that have been cultivated by local farmers for generations. The strain is part of the traditional ganja cultivation heritage of Laos and maintains the pure genetic characteristics of its regional origin.
The plant exhibits classic Southeast Asian sativa architecture with exceptional vigor and natural resistance to fungal pests and humidity. Dak Cheung develops into a beautiful, stylized sativa with a distinctive conical structure featuring spiky, fine branches and wide internodal spacing of 4-10 centimeters. The floral structure is characterized by wheat-shaped, airy formations with striking irregular buds composed of medium-sized, highly resinous calyxes. In its natural outdoor environment, plants can exceed 3 meters in height and require extremely long cultivation cycles typical of equatorial sativas.

Dak Cheung Strain Growing Information
Dak Cheung is an extremely challenging strain requiring significant skill and experience for successful cultivation. The vegetative stage extends 16-20 weeks during which plants develop their characteristic multi-tiered branch structure.

Plants can be grown outdoors, in greenhouses, or indoors, though indoor cultivation is particularly demanding. The strain produces high yields when properly cultivated and shows excellent natural resistance to pests, fungi, and humidity. Four distinct phenotypes have been identified. Due to the extreme length of both vegetative and flowering cycles, this strain is recommended only for very experienced growers with patience for traditional landrace cultivation methods.
