TGA Vortex by: Hovering

TGA Vortex Pheno Hunt.

I popped 5 Vortex about 3 months ago and got 4 Females and 1 Male. Here is the story of the 4 Females.

I am really stoked about this strain as I need a high powered sativa for myself and my patients and this may be it. With 4 Females to run I am excited about the possibilities.

All testers are in 1 gallon hard pots, sunshine mix 4 soil, botanicare nutes at 75% strength.

This strain is incredibly resinous and the lemony aroma is powerhouse. She takes sativa like attention as all 4 plants have had to be staked up early in flower.

Let's see some images...



TGA Vortex #1: leaning Indica. There are super resinous, chunky buds on this girl, called Vixen. 19" tall


TGA Vortex #2: leaning Sativa. I am calling her Fire. Effing incredible look and smell. 24" tallTGA Vortex #3: leaning Sativa. I am calling her Phoenix right now because she is similar to #2 only chunkier. 24" tallTGA Vortex #4: leaning Sativa. She is paler in color, super frosty, called Isis. 21" tall



These girls have just a couple days left. Amber is creeping into the resin glands and we are on notice.


more to come...

awesome....gets me fired up about my three...

Man I dig how you just go at it with the pics and I agree I have two monsters at 7 weeks and for my 4th time running this strain from seed very happy with my results I can't wait to hear your smoke report on some good cured buds

Love your grow reports. Sweet looking plants -- looking forward to hearing how they smoke for you

VORTEX TEST FINISH: Day 59 Flower

OK. Everything looks amazing and the amber is locked in. Here are the final shots before harvest. I can not wait for the cure.


Vortex #1: 19" at finishVortex #2: 24" at finish
Vortex #3: 24" at finish
Vortex #4: 21" at finish

Final reports to come but #2 and #3 look like the ones for our garden at this point.

I am very happy with how all 4 look and will lab test them before final decisions are made.

Finally, I look forward to medicating with them to see how well they each work for my pain.

Gotta love it -- so heavy they are leaning And no offense, but really think sub should replace the plant shots on seedbanks with your shots, cuz whatever you did it looks way better than the budshot for timewreck on attitude!! I hope mine come out looking like yours You should probably get some amazing hash off the trim too I'm guessing. I hope the high matches the appearance... if it does it should take yo ass out!

yummy.....i am surprised they are so short....nice work!

I love his grow style

I have stopped by here a few times now today just for the pleasure of viewing your work with Vortex.
Inspired to say the least!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Love what you do, do what you love.

I have to give big props to Subcool, Dioxide and TGA for all their amazing work and sharing of knowledge.

And I'd like to give props to Hovering for the pics and info on the Vortex. I just picked up a bunch of Vortex plants to fill up my garden and yours was the first I found.

Hovering - I actually grew and enjoyed The Pink! I harvested outside last summer...a big thanks for that as well Didn't expect to see your name here on RIU.

Cool. Thanks for the kind words and excellent news on the Pink! which has become a staple strain for our cancer patients coincidentally.

And I am new to RIU but not to photography or geeking out on whatever I do. Genetics are my thing since we care for so many patients, and phenotyping is my new geek

More reports to come...

Another very nice thread.
Pics are top notch as usual.
Along for the ride.
Vortex is one of my favorite smokes.

nice plants in 1 gallon, under what size light? i run the same size pot under a 150, will be throwing a few under a 600

Our plants begin under fluorescents and live most of their lives under 1000 watt systems.

So apparently tga likes sunshine #4 and botanicare nutes at 75%?

yes, please do elaborate on your grow technique as I definitely would like to try to reproduce that level of frostiness

looks great man.......thanks for the detailed pics. I'm working the Vortex and Apollo lines into my Romulan right now and loving the results so far. These all look great! great job!
