Hello everyone,I'm back with another diary,including three legendary ACE Seeds strains.This time of the year is grow season for me. 3 premium quality sativas in full coco,feeding Plagron.I have high hopes in these ones.ACE never disappoints and this time I think I'll have exceptional quality weed if everything goes well.Long story short,here are links to the strains :
Golden Tiger : https://www.aceseeds.org/en/golden-tiger-fem.html
Congo : https://www.aceseeds.org/en/congofem.html
Killer A5 Haze : https://www.aceseeds.org/en/killera5hazefem.html
Some of you might already know about these strains.Golden Tiger is a cross between Thai and Malawi sativas which sounds amazing.Congo is my favorite from ACE so far,truly exceptional weed with top notch arome and effects.And Killer A5 Haze...you know when a breeder like ACE describes it like this,all you have to do is to buy some and try it out :
👉 Extraordinarily powerful, complex, profound and long lasting. Psychedelic beginning that completely changes visual, auditory and tactile perception, catapulting the psyche to new dimensions where there seems to be no tangible reality. As the effect develops, it produces an uncontrollable hilarity, later becoming more introspective and physical, producing strong dissociation of mind and body, and a strong final narcosis similar to opiates. Recommended only for the most intrepid and experienced psychonauts. It can cause panic and/or complete physical debilitation to users with low tolerance or without experience with strong sativas of this caliber. Nothing will be ever the same after trying Killer A5 Haze. 👈
Now,let's go,it'll be a quite long journey but I bet it will be worth it.Nothing feels better than a good winter grow which in the end gives you rock hard buds with high quality effects.
just a little bit of heat stress
and mainly root establishment.
but still,nodes growing bigger every day
Congo is thick! They all don't need any support,stems are strong!
Hello!
A5 looks droopy this week.I found out it was a reaction to LST.Nothing serious here, it'll straighten up quick when it gets that I'm trying to put it in shape.lol
Tiger is the biggest girl there.Wide open structure with huge leaves.Reacts very well to LST
Congo is so thick that I didn't want to bend it.You see it spends energy into making strong branches.
I started giving silica so that they produce strong branches.
All is well.Stay tuned.
Wish you a happy christmas fam 🙌
Hello,this is the first day of 2021,we are 1 hour into new year here,I wish you a happy and succesful year.
One thing about these 3 I forgot to mention last update : You know a plant has 1 finger leaf,then 3 finger leaf,then 5,then 7,then 9 etc.These plants basically skipped the 5 finger part and jumped from 3 to 7, which got me surprised as I've seen this for the first time.Very vigorous plants,joyful growth,healthy look,strong and crowded side branching.Everything I would want from a sativa.
Congo is N sensitive,as always... I reduced the dosage of nitrogen and keeping it at 0.5ml/lt for Congo. One feeding with only calmag,fulvic and rhino skin,other feeding with all of them + Cocos AB at 0.5ml/lt. This makes all the possible salt residue in coco to be washed out as well.I did this for a week.
Golden Tiger showed some clawing too but completely forgot about it after I drop down N for her to 1ml/lt.Eats better than Congo but not that much in veg.Both reacted well.
A5 eats without problem. 1.5ml/lt is for her.
I topped all of them at week 4, continued bending (bending never stops)
Tiger and Congo already showing female preflowers.One more week in veg and switch!
At week 5,they found their characteristics and started to reflect it. With help of LST and HST, I created a fine canopy under both lights.I'm not increasing feeding as them sativas don't require too much feeding in vegetation.Fulvic Acid and Rhino Skin are extras doing their job well.
Last week of vegetation.
First week of flowering.I did some defoliation,not too much. 11/13 to trigger flowering fast because these sativas will stretch a lot and take some time.
Let's speed it up. They are growing well at the moment.No deficiencies,no toxicity.I keep supercropping some branches. 1.5ml/lt cocos AB , Congo takes 1ml from A bottle because it is N sensitive...Last week for silica.3lt of tap water every other day.All looking healthy,I don't know what to say.
Congo wants more K ... It also doesn't want N ... I'm now giving her more cocos B ... Leaves praying,buds coming ...
I think praying leaves sometimes means the plant has energy to do its business but with showing some deficiency signs, just to make sure it gets good amount of bloom nutrients for further phases.
Golden Tiger has more pistils than A5.They grow big. I keep HST'ing them both...
The most challenging phase just started.I'll have to do some serious maintenance every week from now on as they are stretching higher and wider.
everything is going well.congo is in flowering mode.I see potassium deficiency in it and upped the cocos B to 2ml/lt for her.A5 and Golden Tiger are getting taller and wider.Boring I know but we are about to see some serious bud development.
Congo is ahead of others.Producing spear-like colas,smell is already there.It is what I had in my first run with it; grapes and tropic flowers.
A5 stretched a lot this week,just like Golden Tiger.Both are stretching at an incredible pace,I have to do maintenance every 3 days,raising the lights and tying branches to opposite direction.
Golden Tiger has too many bud sites that I think will grow very big.
A5 is taking her time apparently before fully focusing on buds.
Green Sensation is for Congo as it is already producing buds.Others are not getting it yet.
Congo's potassium hunger seemed to slowed down after I upped Cocos B for it.It might be because I gave too much sugar royal in the main part of stretch.Caused N abundance in it and Congo doesn't like it. But she has 14 finger leaves!!! growing 14th finger from the middle of the leaf.I think I have a photo but couldn't find.
Congo and A5 both are taking calmag at 1.5 ml/lt.
Less photos of Golden Tiger as it is stuck between A5,Congo and auto GSC and is covering almost all growing space.Sorry for that.
We are growing a forest here,dealing with sativas is a pleasure although it requires special attention for their size and needs.
See you next update
Sugar Royal every 3 days, 3ml Cocos B for Congo , 2.5ml Cocos B for A5 & Golden Tiger
A5 smells like sharp citrus,wood and liver.
Tiger's smell is weak at the moment but it is like perfumes.
Congo smells like a very enjoyable holiday,like a garden of sweet,tropical fruits and grapes/berries.Delicious!
We've spent 2 hours to move and turn around the Golden Tiger and tie the branches to the bars.It was in a falling position but stoner physics worked out again.
No night shots this week.
I did a 40lt flush on Congo,runoff hardly drops.It will continue in next weeks.Congo can't eat well all the time but it always needs food,this strain is just amazing.There is a lot of nutes left in coco as a result.Lovely odor.
A5 is bulking up crazy just like Golden Tiger.
Tell me which one is your favorite so far.
Cheers
Killer A5 Haze Bulked up in the last phase,full milky trichomes,drinking from leaves since flush started,samples smoked smooth,definitely ready for harvest.
Golden Tiger has 2 more weeks.Leaves are showing signs of a coming harvest.
I feel like I should post this now as I think I won't be able to do it because this weed is killing me every time.Serious smoke,very serious.I kind of underestimated its potency during the first few days of curing but after 3 weeks,this stuff has become a true killer.Forces me to put the jjoint for a rest,I forget I'm still on my first one.Damn,wavy high,up and down,sudden laughters and a positive mind then becomes very heavy until I wake up.Very potent and dense smoke, chocolate and woody taste with spice and liver smell.Liver is in the taste as well but there is no "meaty" option in harvest page.Also tastes like some oily flowers and incense.Too strong odor,keep in mind.Do not hang around with a bud in your pocket.You'll notice your fingers smell chocolate after playing with a bud.Beautiful.Not too racy,not too couch locking,it's a complete high.Changes my environmental perceptions and puts me in a good sleep.Not an activity smoke for me.If there was a "dumb" effect smiley in options,I would put it in there.Also,even though I can resist,this weed is capable of awaken paranoia in oneself.But absoultely a diamond that'll shock your friends.Solid buds with pinkish hue after curing,great resin production,unique smell,yields great as well. Fully recommended.
This part for growers :
I'm not sure about the pheno.I think this is A5 Haze pheno but there might be a good amount of Malawi in it as well,it feels very narcotic.
Yielded 245gr under 250w HPS.
Ate well all the way through, ate really well , grew huge with fist size colas , started slow but thrived after roots were settled.All training I've done on it worked,it took them well.Stretch continued until 6th week of flowering.Abusive use of sugar royal by me created some nitrogen overload but it simply didn't care and kept on growing.It reacted very quick to my feeding alterations.Aggressively growing strain,might need calcium in flowering but other than that it was very helpful to me.Except its size... Stretches non stop,especially between week 4 and 6 of flowering.It was about 2.20m at the end.Ripening phase was a joy to watch,damn colas almost doubled in size in the last 20 days.
One thing I liked about this strain is that it is prone to genetic mutations and I talked to growers who had the same.One example is that leaf with some callyxes in the middle.
I found 2 branches with polyploidsm on it , one was the biggest yielding branch,other one was a small branch.
All branches needed support.
It requires maintenance and time but brings dope flowers and great yields.Also prepare your nutrient bottles,eats a lot!
Seed was 18€ , pricey for a single seed but is worth every cent in my opinion.
Buy some and try it out.
Thanks a lot for following and please stay tuned for the next update. 👊
The day I was going to harvest Killer A5, an accident happened, a reflector fell right onto the Golden Tiger.Lights were off when this happened,fortunately.It was a true mess..I cut down A5 immediately and spent an hour again on GT to fix it into a new position.None of the branches was broken off but most were accidentally supercropped.Strong branching paid off.Plant was sticky af.Zoom in a bud photo and you'll see.Stoner geometry was needed to remove all those ropes and tie again!!! I reduced light hours to 10/14 for final week. Leaves are already yellowing well so there won't be a need for flush.
Smells like flowers and mandarine.But not a very significant scent.Like a light perfume.
This weed is too heady but very kind at the same time.I have a big love for sativas.Feels like I am running inside non stop.Every puff increases the tempo and heart bpm.Definitely on Thai side. Drives very positive as I go deeper in it.Highly enjoyable fast high.
This weed doesn't make me hungry,not a single piece. First in years I've got a weed that doesn't create hunger.Great weed for pain issues.No sudden blood pressure changes.Brilliant cannabinoid balance in it.
No red eyes for me as always but I feel very dry around eyes.
Zero body high.Vision is clean with 1 joint but comedown is foggy.I'm on my second one,I'm having hard times seeing what I'm writing.Still energetic but it's like driving fast in fog.
Sativa is a life style.
Nothing special tastewise. Smells rotten mandarines,tastes like nothing.Not bad just very neutral.I can't say citrus for it.Resin maybe.Maybe some pepper or liquorice...but nothing significant to me.
Definitely an activity smoke for most occasions. (try to avoid panic feeling)
Cure adds to the high.
Excellent medicinal properties.Landrace experience.
Fully recommended landrace.
The seed was the latest to emerge.This plant grew like reeds.Very big genetics,very big yields,50/50 thai pheno reflowered a lot and filled in elegantly. It had perfume,mandarin scent all the way through flowering but wasn't very strong.It takes a lot of space and time,you witnessed it just like me. Good thing was that it didn't have any problems.It was an incredibly strong plant with super strong also flexible branches.I fed it abundantly in flowering,no problem.A strain that only aims for growing like a monster.True sativa experience.
This was a great story.Bringing this plant to a succesful end felt like reaching next level in growing.I'm happy with the result.I aimed for yield and quality and did get the both.
And this was the craziest plant I've grown in my career.We've had several maintenance sessions for it, hours spent tying and supporting branches.God must have thought it was not enough maintenance that lights fell on it a week before harvest.It survived. 10/14 helped it ripen faster in last 8 days , it was chopped with all milky trichomes.
Trimming was damn too hard.There was only long branches filled with buds.
This gigantic sativa definitely deserves respect and respects you in return.
To my people who've been following this diary for months, thank you all. It was a pleasure for me. Sorry for the delay because I wanted to be sure about effects.
I'm removing Congo from diary as it didn't turn out as expected but was still ok with 115gr dry buds.High and taste were not satisfying this time.Gotta grow it again on 12/12 with organic nutes.
keep yourself alive. 👊👊👊
@sativaman, I recommend Congo to everyone because it is truly a beautiful strain with amazing smell,taste and high..Wild berries and grapes is what it smells like,high is very positive and euphoric.Next week is harvest for Congo,week 10 of flowering.Hands down it is the hardest one to grow out of all I've tried from ACE.
It doesn2t like N, then needs K, you give K then it has nute burn.But it is also a big fun to grow it.The room gets filled by a very tropic and perfume scent.
A5 and Tiger has at least a month,Tiger has even longer.To your question about A5,I'm typing it in your profile page.Check it out man.Thanks!
So how tall are they now? Very nice strains selection! This tiger is just just looking wild making your Congo looking like dwarf!! let me know if you have too much!
@sativaman,I don't measure the height but they were nearly 60cm when I flipped. After fixing the light to the uppest point in the room at week 11, they stopped stretching and directed their heads to the light.
(looking at sexy Tiger) hey mamacitta!!😘😍
You are up for a lot fun! Bet in real time you already sampled them.. ha what a nice strains selection! That A5 by itself is a beast you sure did a great job keeping up with the feedings! Your Congo looks deliciously frosty! No red hue this time from the PCK? Buds looks dense and sticky like an Indica!
@HighRoller909, A grow room accident is every grower's nightmare: glad to here every thing is ok and damages got limited. First thoughts goes to Tiger and A5 who suffered from this accident!!! oh I can't wait to see the outcome!!! AND smoke report as well!!
have a great week!
@sativaman, thanks man,I appreciate good words.Congo is green this time , having the same smell and taste.But i think it doesn't like 11/13 schedule.it is somewhat fussy plant.Harvested 2 weeks ago.A5 is a beast indeed,eats well,grows big and produces a lot.İt was harvested few days ago,an hour ago i put them in jars,filled 3 big ones and 4 middle size ones.im expecting at least 170g.High is seriously potent,i had audio hallucinations and was in a different world after scissor hash.looks like it is a good blend of haze and malawi,showing both characteristics.Tiger is wild and elegant.İ have samples from it,high is very uplifting and cerebral.and potent too.one hand holding a joint of it while typing this,eyes barely open.Put on weight in the last 4 weeks,there is gonna be a harvest this wednesday.Something tragic happened a few days ago.Lights fell on both while off,tiger and a5,the day i harvested A5.none of the branches were broken,freakin strong branching!
Very nice progress! Gotta show some love for the Golden Tiger!!! Congo looks stong and vigorous as well. Your A5 is different than what I have = might be Malawi-haze pheno! Have a good week!
A5 is well known to be nutes hungry. Wish I did not had the calcium deficiency at week 6-7 of flower for a perfect grow. I am suggesting you to keep the ppm high and use PK booster (when they start to swell up) along with CalMag supplement.
@HighRoller909, When I first saw sign of Cal deff I had to wait 'till next watering (I am in soil) so I wasted about 4 days. It greatly affected the sugar leaves. If you can give a little more right now in coco it might save your colas! Everyday I look at my A5 and feels bad for having her leaves fried... Best wishes for new year.
@sativaman, exactly! In week 5 of flowering,I noticed some leaves with calcium deficiency spots but they were only a few. Upped the calcium to what is indicated on the bottle as max level and no more signs,no worries. In coco,I see the effects of nutrients quicker. Current situation of A5 is more like an outdoor plant with extremely strong branches and I agree with you,I think I have a Malawi or Haze phenotype.Wait for the next week's update in a few days, you'll see how it got its true sativa look and characteristics in just a week.
Hey mate, you are growing massive nuclear buds here! 🔥
Congrats, you have build an optimal environment to obtain a huge crop with the highest THC level: the difference between day/night temps, the UV generated from your HID lamps, the low humidity, the chosen strains, etc ... Kaboooommmmm!! 💥 After curing, you will get "poison to fly high in the sky" 🤩😋
I wish you was my neighbour @highroller909 😂😂
Your A5 ended up so frosty very impressive plant. She is stunning! Those giant fist size tops is a great reward. Nice bulk up.
Same for your Tiger flowers are filling in impressively. This will sure make a nice stash!!
@Grey_Wolf, 1 year delay wow lol mate I have the Thai dominant pheno of Tiger ,now smoking , instant head pressure with too big smile on my face. But mine is not that 3rd version that you've got. Yours have different Thai landraces in it I think. Takes time to mature but if I managed to get ~300gr with 5 weeks of veg, you can easily get over a kilo outdoors
@HighRoller909, ACE seeds are finally able to send me the Golden tiger Thai Dominant limited edition regs I
paid for last year these will be super interesting specimens 👍
Once in a while I would need energetic weed. Not that often but it is nice to have a stim pack before going to an event. And you call this a "nice balance" 😄😄😄😄😄. Yes! sativa is a life style 😁
Great grow all the way through. Appreciate how you took the time to review the effect.
@Med_in_Tropic, a weed this crazy,I would not want that often either. would be highly enjoyable on long summer days with friends doing only holiday affairs.I still prefer Congo style energetic high. I'll be looking forward to see your gt outdoors.
Thanks for all the kind words man,I appreciate truly. 👏
@CrokuDodu, already bending due to weight.Yesterday a very big branch of Killer A5 bent itself too hard that a unintended HST occured (the branch you can see in photo 5.The closest and tallest one).Inner muscles cracked and I heard it.I left it that way,harvest in 10 days.When I lifted it,it felt like a good 200gr,only the upper part of the branch.Let's see how it does until harvest time.
