HANG KRAROK - Squirrel Tail ( Hang Krarok)

Let’s talk about here the most popular Landrace in Thailand: the HANG KRAROK

“Hang” หาง mean “Tail”

“Krarok” กระรอก mean “Squirrel”

So what we Thai people call HANG KRAROK (transliteration can differ a little sometimes, but don’t worry is common to find different ways to transliterate Thai to western languages) is for the English language the Squirrel Tail

This Ganja has this name probably because of the large colas that reminds the shape of the tail of a squirrel

What do you think looks similar?

Anyway there are so many different expression of this Landrace, as I mentioned before, is the preferred choice for most of the thai traditional farmers.

So I have begun a work about separate them from areas of origin and phenotype expressions

Here you can see another from the low lands of Sri Sonkran (chemical mint, rotten meat selection)

And this the shorter pheno

that I renamed “Fat tail”

And

The Apple Vinegar selection

So have many more phenotype and place of origin to discover, and slowly slowly with also your help we can add them here to this post to make a useful collection

Yes. Hang Krarok Mango is a Selection made at the University of Sakon Making

Yes, the Manao is a selection of Hang Krarork made some researches at the Sakon Nakhon University that has strong predisposition to limonene terps

MANAO in Thai mean LIME

I got those seeds in 2023 and I made my selection from them in 2024

It looks more or less like any other Squirrel Tail , also somehow similar to the Mekhong Classic but more leafy

I’m so interested in how this smokes. As soon as I read the description I really wanted to try it, but my wife looked at me like I was crazy. “You want weed… that smells like rotten meat? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:” lol. She’s new to ganja and has mostly only smoked modern hybrids. I, however, remember the old school skunky-funky :ganja:. Ultimately we chose the champion '24 and black mango. Please post updates I’m very interested.

This are the rotten mint from my experimental area where I did not watered and not fertilized. They are short also because they have been transplanted in November and for them is very late. Very smelly also this year. But I guess is like Durian or you hate or you love. I call them Rotten Mint because the smell of Rotten Meat (some people say sulphur) is strongly mixed with the mint smell

Here I’m learning , same as you are doing in this days, how to use this App. So now you can see we have separated the Categories into “Nations” than we have made one only to present yourself, another one for All the World and one to propose new categories.

So “topics” creators they become the holders and the guardians of the topics they open. In this App topics and tags are very important because they will allow others to find things they are interested on in the future.

As you can see a topic can last days, weeks, years here so the topic creator holds a sort of responsibility to keep it nice and usefull for everybody.

As in the main wall appear the first image published in the topic the topic creator can change this image and keep it more “on time” like I did for example here adding the HnagKarok :ganja: at the place of the :chipmunk:

Here for you I add more photos of the new entry for my seeds menu “SQUIRREL TAIL PREMPAVEE”

Last note: Replies under “Topics” are here called “Posts”

Hang Krarork - Squirrel Tail Phuphan , may 2023 at the 1st Tournament of the 1st edition of the Prempavee 1st Ganja Cup - samples from Kriankrai Farm “East-Phuphan”. Also from him the drawing.

Kriankrai and Prempavee at Prempavee Farm Dispensary in 2023 talking about Thai ganja and traditional farmers and how to unite the efforts to valorize local genetics. The 1st Ganja Cup was at the time the way we have seen to bring Thai genetics under the light.
