Thanks for directing me here Amos. I am currently running Ace of Spades, this is my first 'pheno hunt' but I will try to shed some light on the strain and perhaps the breeder. Prior to this run I've only grown out bag seed. With that said, they are confirmed Mr. Nice Guy (g13 x HP), SSH, and an OG. That may sound amateur but these are some beautiful plants I've been running for over 20 generations each, potent as shit, and all pretty unique from eachother. I figured the money was better spent on my setup vs genetics as long as I had dank in the garden.
I finally decided to get some genetics, AOS was among the few TGA strains that appealed to me, when I saw it available one night I pulled the trigger on a 5 pack, and a pick & mix querkle to up the price for some freebies. I am not a tga fanboy, I've never seen this weed nerd everyone speaks of, and in all honesty I bought these because none of the Bodhi strains I had my eye on were available (picked up lucky charms and goji the following week..). I know nothing other than subcool's super soil and a few other tutorials, which served as my introduction into the world of organics, and for that I am appreciative. Asshole/self-promoter or not, taking the time to show others an alternative to synthetics is a noble deed in my eyes, so I'll never regret supporting him by giving his genetics a run.
All 6 were germed and sprouted within 72 hours. They were all beautiful, and had great vigor. Vegged them untopped until they showed sex, 6/6 females, each about 12" tall, all pretty similar, some slightly bushier then others. Transplanted into 10 gal smart pots, consisting of my own amended soil mix, and switched to flower. Now about 3weeks-1 month in, I've got one just under 3' tall which is the bushiest (I assume to be the BCS leaner, smells fruity as well), 3 between 3'-4' that seem to be mixes of both parents, and 1 that is a 4' totem pole which I can only assume is a JTR leaner smelling piney as shit, feels like it stings the nostrils. All of them are nugging up like crazy, massive white hair production. I'm quite excited to see what the next few weeks bring for these girls. I have had no issues with these girls as far as deficiencies, but IMO thats organics.. Before flipping to flower, 2 clones were taken from each and all rooted without issues, this time all have been topped for further experimentation. The only weird thing I've observed, which may be normal for some strains/polys, are some 'mutant' leaves. I counted as many as 13 blades on a few leaves growing on top of eachother. I don't see that being a problem, just something to note.
All in all this strain has been a pleasure to grow thus far, all seem to be quite healthy, they clone with ease, and the variance between each plant has certainly kept my interest. I've taken pictures along the way so maybe ill make my first journal when they finish up.
