Rudder, also known locally as Helm, is a rare Thai landrace sourced from coastal growers on the eastern seaboard — likely within the islands and lowland river systems of the northern Gulf. Though its exact origin is hard to trace, this cultivar has been passed down through quiet hands and local farmers for generations, used in both recreational and ritual settings.
Unlike the more electric uplifts of highland sativas, Rudder offers a more grounded and introspective high — mentally expansive but smooth, meditative, and long-lasting. It’s a strain that doesn’t take you for a ride, it lets you steer.
Plants grow tall and agile with a branching structure adapted to humidity and sea breeze. Flowering takes 12 to 15 weeks, and while the buds are slender, they carry a uniquely complex aroma: dry sandalwood, kaffir lime, black pepper, and forest floor. It’s the kind of terpene profile that feels ancient.
In the Garden:
Rudder is well-adapted to lowland tropical climates, handling heat and rainfall with ease. It prefers light, sandy soil and natural rhythms — minimal feeding, deep daylight hours, and room to stretch. Best suited for outdoor or greenhouse cultivation, especially in regions with long seasons. Ideal for growers seeking subtle but powerful landrace expressions that speak to Thailand’s coastal and riverine terroir.

Landrace collectors and sativa purists
