ACE gear on deck 🤘

[OZZ_]

Hi everyone!

We have finally got moved into the new place, in a legal state and I’m super excited to get started. The room is a work in progress but as of now it is functional and up and running.

Not much to look at as of yet but I have a bunch of ACE gear snd others on deck at the moment. Over the years I have accumulated nearly ACEs entire catalogue and am pumped to start working through these genetics in a proper fashion.

I’ll update here as things progress, for now the little ones have either just broken ground or are just progressing to early veg stage

Two Zamaldelica Elite F1 x Elite F2 from the breeders pack (regs), Panama x Oaxacan FEM, Panama green goddess FEM from the breeders pack, and a Golden Tiger reg from late 2015. Good to be back!

Good luck with your grow. I have grown out a Malawi fem & 2 x Zam fems and both have become favourite daytime smokes. It's solid gear.

Thanks Tobedetermined

Yup…. ACE is the place to be for certain.

On a side note, does anyone know how I can insert full sized images into my posts so I can format my post properly?

Having a very hard time formatting my posts with the new website. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

See https://www.icmag.com/forum/ic-magaz...s#post17855497 It is very awkward but you can do it.

Man! So the only way to accomplish it is to post the thread, go back in and edit it, then mess around getting the invalid responses and deleting thumbnails finally getting it inserted into the post then fighting with the text I’ve already included? Lol

Painfull but I love the ACE forum so I guess if this is what I gotta do I’ll try my best. Haha

*******TEST POST***

Going to see if I can get this formatted properly

I *think* I’ve got it figured out.


FIRST UP! Panama x Oaxacan FEM

Second up…. Panama green goddess FEM from the Panama breeders pack:

Zamaldelica Elite F1 x Elite F2. Both regs, one planted a week earlier than the other so it pf course has a head start. The youngest first pic:

^^^^ ….. and finally the little, single Golden Tiger regular. This was from a pack purchased 11/2015 so I believe it’s before the updated the strain with heavier Thai influence? So I *think* this would be Malawi x Meo Thai?

There you go! It is painful but we are promised new & improved forum software soon. We just have to hang it a little bit longer.

Excellent! Glad to hear there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!

Alright, just dropped some more beans. TexasTea and Humple W’s report in the Panama thread inspired me to do a pheno hunt I’ve wanted to do for some time.

Three beans of each line from the Panama Breeders Pack were dropped. The “lemoney/incensey” line, the “green” line, and the “pink/red” line. These are all fems so assuming I get 100% germination I’ll have three from each line I can hunt through, as well as compare and contrast. I planted one seed from the lemoney/incensey line a week ago or so and that’s the plant you see in the background. I will be letting all the seed plants show sex then clone, and run the clones so it will be no issue that this one is ahead of the others.

Should be a fun project. Lots of starts have been dropped, some of the first are starting to show first signs of being hungry under the LEDs as I have not fed them yet. Today they got a bit of a lime/gypsum/oyster shell flour mix for a liming agent and a bit of granular feed also with high cal and mag. Also RO water from here on out with cal mag plus, in the next few weeks they should green back up and start taking off. I like to start them slow on low feed and about this time when they show obvious hunger signs only feed at that time. Some are more sensitive than others so I have found I like to let them feed lightly when young, and when they actually show signs of needing nutes, only feed at that time until they get established.

Nothing to do now but wait for everything to grow up

Looking great brother! Congrats on the new digs and setup. Pulling up a chair.

Thank you amigo!

Funny fact. I decided I needed bigger tents so I ordered two 4x4 tents and once they arrive I’ll swap them in, then I’ll sell these. Also I got a 4’x2’ “propagator” model with different levels for moms/clones. Has like four shelves so I’ll have plenty of space to keep clones of everything while I’m making my selections. I can finally do it the right way by backing everything up. :yay:

Super excited!

 

[TexasTea]

Wow, sounds good. I probably should think about some improvements for next indoor season so I can start doing something along those lines...

Two “Green” line and two “pink/red” line Panama have broken ground. That gives me one “lemony/incensy” Panama, and two each of the “green” and “pink/red” lines for my panama pheno hunt so far. Waiting on the others to poke their little heads above ground. Hoping I can get three of each line going, it will be amazing to see all three lines growing side by side for direct comparison. I really love the ACE breeders packs. Such awesome opportunity to study a line in depth when the work of separating the phenotypes is already done for you. Awesome

Both Zamaldelica E1xE2 are doing great, this one keeps catching my eye. Fairly NLD looking with the other being much wider leafed…. Maybe that one will lean more towards the Malawi side? Time will tell

 

[TexasTea]

Well I will be curious to see just how much variability is actually in these separate lines. I suspect still a lot of differences in various plants, but it will be fun to watch and see what you get. I wonder if you have to grow out dozens of plants in a given line to really see the overall similarities, but maybe not.

Im guessing they are going to be pretty uniform throughout ….. Panama is one of ACEs pretty worked strains i mean the Green goddess is at F10 now so should be pretty uniform. I’m suspecting the main differences will be in terps/resin content, etc etc

Im determined to run three of each line, at the same time…. Nine plants total, so if the others don’t break ground then I’ll just pop more beans. I have a feeling they will all come up in the next few days for 100% germination though.

Really looking forward to it i want that green goddess. I really liked the red pheno I grew but it was a dense effect, would much prefer a happier more sociable and uplifting effect- which is what the green goddess offers.

In the Panama sticky thread, it’s stated the green goddess comes from the lemony/incensey line…. iirc….. but then in the individual line descriptions the “green” line is described as having the clearest most up effect, although typically less resin content snd less potency than the lemony/incensey line.

Im a bit confused then on which line to expect to find what I’m looking for, but with three plants of each line I’ll get to sample them myself over the course of the cure and decide.

My plan is to flower out clones from each of the nine plants. Then after harvest and a two month cure (smoke testing along the way) I’ll pick one plant to keep from each of the three lines. Three plants total, I’ll toss the others. I’ll hold onto the three keepers while the bud cures …. out to six months at which point I’ll make my final selection.

Gotta love it!

Everyone is coming along nicely and some are showing sex.

Panama are all starting to pick up but not much to see just yet. Top row “lemony/incensy”, middle row “Green” and bottom row “pink/red”

Here’s a bunch of other satties. Up top are the two Zamaldelica E1xE2s, unfortunately both turned out male. I was going to keep the first male as he’s sticky, smelly and pretty NLD looking but he’s dropping pollen on me under 18/6 light cycle. I’m not experienced with breeding or keeping males but I didn’t think this was supposed to happen unless you flip them to 12/12 light cycle? Maybe it’s a Zamal leaner as I hear Zamal has auto flowering tendencies??

Next row down two doors x Original haze.

Below that (left) a THH x SD Bx2 that hasn’t sexed out yet, and to the right the ACE panama x Oaxacan FEM. bottom is the Golden Tiger also not sexed out yet.

Here you can see Zamaldelica one dropping pollen under 18/6 light cycle:
