Apparently they have a unique more stimulating high and sometimes a horrible leafy taste and take as much as 20+ weeks to flower. So there not really worth it in pure form most of the time unless your latitude is between 0°N and 25°N unless you have a large greenhouse and aren't looking for a cash crop. It's supposedly more psychedelic sometimes. I know I've tried one strain that was truly different it was really more like a stimulant high without that much euphoria. But a good saliva will give you euphoria and racing or soaring feelings. But often will have hermaphrodite traits or a bad taste so it's usually more prudent to find a line that has been worked to remove these traits and keep one for your head stash. Separately cuz many months of flowering and possible herms
They're different in effects. Many will produce a mind racing high not the couch lock sit on the couch baked type of high. That effect is not desirable to many. Especially those that already have a high level of anxiety.
Have you grown golden tiger ???????? Or zamaldelica????They're different in effects. Many will produce a mind racing high not the couch lock sit on the couch baked type of high. That effect is not desirable to many. Especially those that already have a high level of anxiety.
Many don't allow them to fully finish flowering and harvest early which can lead to an underwhelming high. They also don't take well to the high EC feeding many use and end up struggling with unhealthy plants from overfeeding. Also the drying process can go much quicker as the flowers are typically not as dense as indicas and hybrids which can lead to flowers drying too quickly and being over dried which results in a poor quality end product.
As far as sativa genetics go ACE is the place. I've grown quite a bit of their stuff and all of it has been great. I have some of their Malawi flowering right now and have a few more of their strains that I haven't grown yet but am looking forward to.
I've grown the Golden Tiger.
Did it live up to its reputation? How many weeks did it flower, and what growing medium did you run it in.
I enjoyed it. I think I let it go around 16 weeks. I had some issues with that grow as I was playing around with making organic soil and they were in hot soil from the beginning. It doesn't seem to be a heavy feeder. I had a Malawi leaning pheno that was pretty intense smoke. Racy thoughts, anxiety. A friend that came over looked at it and didn't seem impressed. Then I gave him a joint to smoke. He ended up stuck in a chair for a few hours after he ended up lightheaded, paranoid, etc... He was in no shape to drive in traffic. I had told him to just take a couple of hits but he puffed away.
How did these turn out?
i messed up on my Killer A5 Haze but still some smokeable stuff, and she is strong and narcotic high. Probably some of the strongest stuff I had tried, and will be attempting another proper grow of her. Might even try to clone the top for an outdoor attempt in southern Ontario.
Pics?
