Another decent week of growth!
Plant B was showing signs of being female, so it was transplanted into a 5L SIP bucket with the same soil. It was then flipped to a 12/12 schedule.
Plant A didn’t show any decisive pre-sex. So it’s been put on hold. Maybe it’ll crop up again in another grow.
Interestingly enough, the two plants show different phenotypes. Plant B is a good deal stretchier and has marginally thinner leaves (making me believe it’s Thai leaning?) and smells more citrusy. While plant A is broader and has much less stretch (the “from below” pictures show this well enough) and smells more pungent. So it could be an African-tending pheno. I got these impressions from reading the ICmag page on Zamaldelicas (https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=232614&page=20 - I hope I can post links).
That said I know this is just a selection of two plants. So any real comparisons are not very accurate. But it’s fun no less.
Next week we get to see the stretch! Hopefully it’s kept under control... happy growing.
@bobo420, I bought a good deal of their stuff (relatively) so ill be growing out their gear for the next while :)
Yeah smell is great! Very sweet.
They're looking pretty vigorous alright, those roots will take whatever whenever ;P BTW, sent you a pm to not clog things up
@EnYouPee, yeah ACE sure have some astonishing strains, would love to grow them all :)
She's coming along nicely I bet she smells nice :)
Yeah I'm growing Afghans - they are coming along nicely, didn't have a chance to transplant them sooner, but they look nice and healthy
@bobo420, Absolutely, the other stuff i'v grown has been good, but i'm hoping the exotic strains will be.... well exotic, hah.
Love ACE's gear alright, they do some killer breeding. Speaking of which, just noticed you're growing out a landrace, i'll keep my eyes peeled! ;) may pick up some indica next to get a more substantial yield.
@victor_lion, Hey! In the end I think I harvested it a week late. So it’s rather mellow. Still a super clear high with lots of energy and not racy or anxious. Lives up to the good name regardless
@@TyrolaRasta, Hey man! I just realised i completely misunderstood your comment, had it in my head the last week, haha. For some reason i was thinking of the flowering plant, and the house plant didnt come to mind. When i was looking at the lateral buds they seemed to have pistils... But I dont know why it didnt click for me! Yeah, would be super to have some pollen, for sure ;) cheers!
@@TyrolaRasta, Hey! I'm away form it for a couple of weeks, so I dont know if will have hermied (hopefully not!! :P) But i dont know if pollen from a hermied female plant will carry that genetic tendancy. Probably not tbh. But there are pollen chucking plants for the future!! ;)
@bobo420, haha I know, it’s aweful lol :P it’s a poor attempt at a mulch layer, to help keep the top moist where I added the extra soil mix. It’s not doing much :P
that LED distance 8 in should give you the coloration youre looking for
just be careful not to singe the buds or they'll lose a bit of flavor, potentially potency and mass too
plant looking real good dude
@Jaindoh, Not gonna complain about the colours! I always heard it was temperature related.
Hopefully they don't get damaged, all pretty tight in there. Thanks man.
@Zannabis7,
Hey Zannabis, thanks.
It is a pretty interesting strain! Ace seeds started with landraces and sativas and started stabilising them and then making hybrids - that got me pretty interested to start with. I’m surprised not to have seen any of their gear here, since they’re listed.
Zamaldelica is Zamal x Golden Tiger (Malawi x Thai), Iv heard a lot of great things about this strain and it’s been a goal to grow some since I started. There’s some good threads on icmag about Ace’s gear and crosses people have made, if you want to see how they can turn out. Hopefully this zamaldelica will turn out well! I bought a bunch of their stuff, so hopefully 2018 will feature some more interesting grows. Always happy to talk strains!
