Looking good. I don't know if I'd have the patience to flower out OTH, think I read it takes at least 16 weeks?
Yeah I think it says 16-20 but usually the light dep greenhouse will cut a couple weeks off due to the suns intensity mid summer so I'm hoping they will all finish 14-16

Looking good there MDH. I have 6 GT, zam and zam crosses, tikal, panama x Zamadelica.. Also running Blue Orca Haze and mazar-sharif/Guerrero x 85 humbolt roadkillskunk... starting to think I started too many.. Your grow looks like your off to a great start... I'm following your thread on the ace forum.. nice green house...
How is that GTiger ..? I haven't had the pleasure yet...
I've only grown one it is a very nice smoke very up high not as cloudy as the Zamaldelicas that I have, I believe it was a Thai pheno took like 14 weeks 4 weeks longer than 2 of my three Zamaldelica great daytime smoke.
That looks like some fun you got going lot of variety I like that.

This is 9 plants, I have 14 this size but they were getting crammed had to move them around fit them into other veg tents

These 14 are 7 OTH 5 GT and 2 Zamaldelica trippy, aside from that I have a sexed female GT, and 2 sexed female Zamaldelica trippy all ready for the greenhouse when the weather decides to get better.

Thank you kindly...outdoor grows sure are nice!

Are you covering the greenhouse daily to limit the photo period? Where I am located, daylight duration is just a tad over 14 hours and increasing.

It's an automatic light dep greenhouse dark out plastic rolls down at 6:30pm and rolls back up at 7:30 am so they get 11 hours of light every day. Flowering mid summer is really a game changer everything goes super fast at least a week faster than indoors and the intensity of the light really brings out the best in the sativas.

Nice work MDH the girls look Very happy and the GH looks like it's filling in as it should..!!
Much respect brotherman.. Smoke reports should be interesting for the MAL X PAN and the ZIPPY ZAM..!!

ZIPPY ZAM..!!
one thing nice about ace is that their strain naming system often reflects the strains that make up the cross (unlike many breeders who pull stupid names out of their arses), so the grower can get a sense for the underlying genetics just from the name. But damn, ace needs to pay attention to your ZIPPY ZAM....it is one of the best strain names I've seen yet, and it isn't even an official name

So update on everything, everything has been fully sexed I have 4 OTH, 3 Zamaldelica trippy, 2 Zamaldelica, 5 golden tiger, 2 Malawi x Panama, 1 panama x Malawi, and 1 Panama in the greenhouse. The two Zamaldelica and two of the golden tigers just went into flower in the last week or two the other 14 were flipped May 1st.

@Bakersfield, @Moderndayhippy, your ace gals are probably somewhere in mid-bloom or nearing the latter innings..how about an update? many thanks.
Soon after sprouting my 5 malawi, circumstances changed in my life. In a last minute decision, I decided to throw pollen at these girls, without first testing them.
This should give me lots of seeds to run and test, when the garden starts up again.
I don't have any recent pictures, but of the 5 Malawi, 4 look like @Moderndayhippy Malawi x Panama, in structure. There is a sweet syrupy smell to them as well as a common Sativa odor, sweet and spicy.
1 of the Malawi's is entirely different. She is squatter and more dense.
She has a decent sized main cola and is extremely resinous, reminds me of some denser phenos of Jack Herer and Super Silver Haze.
It has a more pronounced sweet floral and fruity scent, similar to grape, but different, maybe its Guava fruit.

I tried some ACE a little while back, with the intention of finding those old chronic land race sativas of my youth.
Kinda disappointing results.
Lots of males, and most females were not of great quality. Not saying you cant find some good ones, i had a good golden tiger, not exactly strong like the description, but i didnt have it dialed in optimum.
Just think it might be better to get a hybrid, or pure sativa that has already been selected out of these landraces, and work on them from that point.
Excuse me, sir, but have you got any pic from any of your ACE's grow?
The rest of your post has contradictories arguments: You said that nothin like the wild landrace sativas you smoked when youth, later that the best are worked sativas or hybrids... ACE, Cannabiogen or Tropical Seeds have a long time's worked n selected landraces as well as hybrids...

I never said that were bad, but just didn't have super high quality.
I grew there green haze x thai and one other I am trying to remember....
They grew decent with nice buds and resin. Just lacked the deep flavors and punch!!
I wound up not reaching into those jars that often.
No pics if that, as it was kind of not a fully legal grow at the time.
I have been blessed to have smoked some very high quality sativa growing up and in my years in Hawai'i.
Many of which were from lines that had been worked for years, so the weaker fluffy, runny, spindly resin less phenos had been bred out.
Ace's just didn't seem to be as uniform and as thoroughly bred to me.
But I sure can make mistakes and don't know every strain and I'm sure not have always brought out the best expressions that plant is capable of.

Thanks, I've been watching the hype on the other site, and it is some serious hype action. Looking forward to your grow and review to provide objectivity to balance out or confirm the hype bias.
So far so good. 4 of 6 popped within 5 days getting wet, while I had given up on the other 2, they eventually popped around day 10.
