Ace seeds in Canada

[TheForgotten]

Hi

I just wanted to show my appreciation for a company that isn't 'just doing the minimum'....

I ordered Malawi through a Canadian seedbank (5 Malawi standard), and was pleasantly surprised to see that there were 6 seeds in the pack....

I'll start a grow thread when they show their first set of true leaves, but 6/6 germinated, 2 have opened, and the others are about to....

A free seed! Bonus!

I am 5 weeks in on an Ace Malawi Fem. A strong healthy very bushy plant. I flipped 5 days ago but still vegging.

Good luck with your grow!

It looks like you have 2 over-achievers there.

Here is your inspirational photo from this morning. I have finally figured out my leaf twist issue - pH. Stupid! I changed the batteries on my meter without re-calibrating so I was a bit low for the last 10 days . . .

14" now. I started some defol 2 days ago but it needs more. Gradually . . .

Wow, beautiful plant. Some serious thickness to that stalk....
Looks fartastic TBD, what growing medium do you use?
I use Pro Mix HP and yours looks the same....

Coco from Canna + Perlite. Since it is essentially hydro, I water daily with some run-off. I started them in their final pot - 10 gallon.

I am curious to see your regs grow out versus my fem version.

Nice..Malawi..i have Ace malawi FEM seeds and i will look to grow out a mother for clones..and seeds in the late summer indoor.. @tobedetermined

10 gal seems big for coco..i am sure you know that you never want coco to dry..i run canna also DTW..in 3 gal..in flower i water 3 litres daily to keep wet.. you will go thru 9 litres daily..10-13 week flower.. that is a lot of nutes.. looking forward to seeing your grow.. your plant look super.

Be prepared in case of gnats..i used yellow sticky paper.

Hi TheForgotten

Thank you very much for supporting our work!
All our 5 seed packs (regular or fem) always contain 1 extra seed.
The 10 seed regular packs contain 12 seeds, so 2 extra.

Best wishes for your Malawi grow

Thank you sir. Quality seeds, i am impressed.
I will throw up a pic tomorrow, they are just putting out their first set of true leaves....

I use 10 gallon because I like trees. I never do let it dry. I find you can cheat for the first few weeks & after a flooding, just top up daily for a week (about 1 L per/per) & then flood again. At this stage (6 wks) I am feeding 1.5 L per plant per day (with a little run off) but it is soon to be 2 L etc . . .

Funny . . . I have seen gnats flying near my tent during all of my grows but never inside. But thanks for the tip.

Sorry for the thread abduction @TheForgotten . . .

Sorry for the thread abduction @TheForgotten . . .

Not a problem TBD, feel free to discuss, throw up pics, it'll be easy to compare if we don't have to go back and forth from thread to thread....

Hi TheForgotten,

Looking forward to following the grow. Are you able say which vendor you got the seeds from? I’ve only found 1 reputable Canadian seedbank carrying ACE and they only have Nepal Jam in stock. Looking to track down Bubba Hash, and Panama in Canada.

Cheers!- hoping you keep us posted with your Malawi Grow!

Hi MH,

TBH i'm going to approach Ace directly as i would like to order a breeder's pack and TN doesn't offer it....

I will keep posting Malawi updates, unique looking plants in my garden that i too am excited to see....
