Some of the Highland Thai talk is interesting. But how reliable are the stories of what who used to make this or that strain?


As far as Highland Thai, I'm good for the near future.

Yeah who really knows hey! I got that info from DJ's son so only going by what he says!

I'm not disputing anything as I have no idea and don't know anyone with any reliable information. I'm just someone trying to grab what's left before it's all gone.

Looking forward to trying this excellent looking and smelling Honduras from the breeders pack, Columbian line.
The smell is very strong and sweet, and unlike the other females I flowered, this one has very visible trichome development.

1st is New Caledonia and other is Malawi

Honduras x Panama

Malawi female.

Started chopping it last night, finished it this evening.

Can you spare some for an avid fan of the strain? I still have not sourced them. I'm down to share the grow with you when I get them planted.

Would be greatly appreciated!

Panama Haze, Malawi, and Honduras

I started some ACE Guatemala. They don't carry it anymore at least at this time. The seeds were dated 2017 and I had 100% germination. I soaked the seeds for 4 hours in plain tap water and then straight to soil. As is often the case with ACE Seeds the 5 pack had an extra seed for a total of 6 so I have 2 I didn't plant.

This is basically a reproduction run so as long as I get at least 1 male or female in any combination I'll be happy. I'll just be doing small plants so I'll put these into the flower tent around 3 weeks depending on how fast they grow. I'll likely transplant to 2 gallon containers in 2 weeks and then flower a week after that.

I also started some Chitrali I got from RSC so I plan on doing a cross with the two strains. It should make an interesting hybrid. The Chitrali is a landrace Hindu Kush strain from the Chitral region of NW Pakistan. I'm interested to find out how similar it is to ACE's PCK.

New Caledonia with wonderful double serrations, buds are getting a nice size, and big trichomes.

The Guatemalan has some fat leaves. There really isn't much information on this strain anywhere including the ACE forum. But I did find some information and it seems to start out that way with narrower leaves as the plant grows bigger. I was going to cross it with some Chitrali but I had zero germination from the pack of 12 seeds I got from RSC. I know it's not me because I never have issues and the Chitrali was the only thing that didn't germinate out of a variety of different genetics. So I ended up starting some Hindu Kush that I'll use instead. I might shoot the guy at RSC an email and let him know of the germination issue. But it doesn't really matter at this point. I have plenty of other stuff to work with.

I also started some Ethiopian from the seed reproduction run I made a couple years ago. I only did one plant and don't really care if it's male or female. Either way I'll use it in another cross to either pollinate or be pollinated.

This is the first grow I've ever done where I started under LED. I'm using a Vivosun VS1000 and things are going fine. The leaves seem a little odd looking compared to growing under an HO T5 but I'm not going to worry about it. Once they go under the 600 watt HPS it won't matter. They're basically healthy. I don't have a clue regarding the VPD, PAR, XYZ, etc... nor do I even care. I'm not bothering with a bunch of charts trying to dial this and that in. I couldn't tell you the humidity or temperature in the tent either. It doesn't matter to me. Good enough.

Too True.

Here are 3 Ace Malawi male crossed with the Paradise Seeds Sensi Star original,female - 'Malstar'
And 1 Ace Malawi male crossed with Phantom cookies domina fem, - MPCD.
There's also a GG#4 S1 jammed in there.
~ 30 days 12/12
4 x 4 tent. ~ 320 watts with an HLG 550R. Temperature cold

Two across the front are Malstars. The one on left is a single stemmer, not pinched. Soil is quite hot so a couple of funky leaves on it, no biggie.
Plant on right is quite rangey and was pinched a while ago. Nice looking plant.


Back right MPCD.


Back left, Malstar


The GG#4 is back middle

I moved the plants from tent to flower area. 37 days 12on 12 off
There's 8 plants in there.
1 x GG#4 S1 Clone, 2 x Gelat OG's, 1 x Malawi clone and 4 x Malawi crosses I made, seed plants.
3 x Malstars - Malawi x Sensi Star original and an MPCD - Malawi x Phantom Cookies Domina.

The Malawi clone is front centre
Back left, single stemmer Malstar

is this the same as Tikal? I am running Tikal. it doesn't like low ph at all. growth is not too stretchy, but it's pretty densely leafed. seems more sativa than the durban poison and red hot cookies next to it.

Tikal is a hybrid. Ace created it back in 2005. They've since worked it extensively. I've grown it and liked it a lot. I have seeds from a cross I made with it. I wish I had the time and space to grow more stuff.


This is from post Dubi made in 2011 in response to someone's inquiry:

"Tikal hybrid: Guatemala female X Northern Light/Haze male)"

"Tikal breeding project started around 2005. We have opened lot of different lines since that time: backcrosses to the guatemala line, inbreeding indica pheno, inbreeding purple haze guatemala pheno, selecting the strawberry incensey lines, selecting small phenos for indoor growing etc .... there's a great variety of Tikal lines and we breed together the best ones with the better balance of traits to produce the commercial Tikal."

i think mine has extra guatemala in it. Dubi is still around forums, said tikal had been reworked a few times and should be peach incensy on the fems i have sounds like a lucky one would be strawberry. the one i grabbed said
(Guatemala sativa x Kush/Haze) x Guatemala. sitting at 3 weeks flower

Destroyer was a collaboration between Ace and Cannabiogen (CBG). It's mainly Meao thai with some columbian/mexican. Nutes were kept low, 100-40-150. Still burned a little in coco dtw.

Week 10 (from seed) and a clone week 6 of the original. They have been growing different under scrog. She does not like to be tamed. Clone 1st pic.

Original was dusted on 4 branches with:
Zacateca Tribute
MalXPan
Destroyer
Thai
