Ace Outdoor Grow

Hi Ace Familia,

I have a few Ace strains starting flowering outdoors in native soil. This will be my first time keeping a grow journal online. Strains are as follows:
3 × Panama Bangi Haze
1 × Thai Chi
1 × Zamaldelica fem
1 × Kali China
1 × CBD#1

I also have seedlings in pots. These are as follows:
6 × New Caledonia (+ 1 male growing from October pulled out of the ground and trimmed back to the first node)
3 × Zamaldelica fem
1 × Thai Chi

Of all of these strains, I've only grown Zamaldelica before. Zamaldelica and Panama are my all-time favourites. Anyone they have been shared with have been blown away too. After listening to Dubi's interview on The Pot Cast, I selected his three desert island strains (Thai Chi, Zamaldelica and Panama × Bangi Haze). New Caledonia was selected as it is creating a huge buzz. Fruity, anxielitic and energetic - sounds perfect!
Kali China for something shorter flowering and CBD#1 to hopefully get some CBD buds that actually taste good, unlike the wreched buds I got last year through our crappy medical system.

Looking forward to some of the best and most complex terpenes in the Ace catalogue.

Thai Chi #1
Looking very Thai dominant. Not much branching. I suspect that the root ball is very small, with the roots having a hard job penetrating the crappy soil. I dug in organic nutrients but am having to resort to fertigating with Bio Canna due to the poor root development. Not much happening with flowering yet. I chopped the top to get a clone in a pot that i can move under cover in case she doesn't finish before first frost.

The second Thai Chi is looking like she has a lot more KC influence. Fan leaves taken from the top I'm cloning.

The Thai Chi is smelling of aromatic wood and spice.
Kali China below. Smelling very sweet, fruity and deep. She spent too long in a 1.5L pot before being transfered to soil, so yield won't be great, but she will keep me going until the longer flowering plants come down. A favourite with the wildlife, as you can see. I've got a fence around the area but I think the big roos just jump over it.

CBD#1. Same issues as the KC. Most prominent scent is mandarin. Looking promising for tasty CBD buds.

Zamaldelica #1
Also a favourite with the wildlife. They've eaten most of the fans. I ran a pack Zamaldelica fem last season. Very consistent plants. A couple were a bit Woodier and weaker in scent. This one is smelling like a good one. I will put the early NC male to her.

Pangi #2. Leaves are a bit broader. Stronger scent. More complex and more incence. Pangi has never jumped out at me from the description for some reason. I popped them on the basis of it being a favourite of dubi's. Boy am I glad I did. They are smelling divine!

Thanks @Boss Cocky for sharing your first outdoor grow diary with all of us and for choosing many ACE strains, much appreciated! Really great selection of genetics :smoke: really touching to know Zamaldelica and Panama are among your all time favorites and that my interview helped you to choose.

The CBD #1 is really consistent for refined mandarine terpene profile, citric terpenes are rarer in Kali China, the fruity KCs usually become more mango scented once they get ripe.

Could you share some details about your outdoor conditions and latitude ?
Plants looks happy in early flowering :) All the best for the rest of the flowering stage!

Hey dubi,
Thanks for chiming in. It's my second outdoor grow actually. First in soil. Last year i grew Zamaldelica fem and Haze × Kali China in soilless. I'm around 27S. Inland climate with dry late autumn and winter (pretty dry in general). We get maybe a half dozen to a dozen frosts a year, starting mid May - sometimes a week earlier. I think the particular spot probably won't frost, though. They should all be finished by then anyway.
Below in the first shot are New Caledonians popped a few weeks ago. In the second shot are Zamaldelica fem seedlings, Thai Chi seedling and Thai Chi and Pangi clones taken from the plants in soil. The seedlings are somewhat retarded as they were almost burnt to a crisp when we had a couple days of 42degC and the root cubes dried out. Clones of the Pangis, Thai Chi and Zamaldelica in soil were lost to the heat but I managed to get a couple in a second go.
