Hello fellow Ace fans !
Ace strains have nice descriptions including the approximate harvest window, but sometimes another date is also very important for outdoor growing - when flowering starts, i.e. buds start to form. Of course, the exact date for a strain varies between phenotypes and the latitude of the spot. But if we know that a strain starts flowering, say, about the 1st of September at 40 degrees north, it's not so hard to make the calculation when it will start to flower at another latitude, comparing the day lengths at the 2 latitudes.
I simply cannot grow strains that start flowering in August because we have many wild hemp plants in the area and they pollinate everything till the first days of September. Also, the beginning of September is full of caterpillars that not only eat the buds but also make bruises that invite mold later in the rains. These pests don't find a plant so attractive if it's not already flowering as they like to chew on buds.
So I was wondering if people that have grown any of the Ace strains can share when these strains started flowering at their particular latitude. Hope Dubi can join in with many numbers
I myself can't contribute any numbers as this is my first season growing Ace's gear.
Strain - latitude - starting date (or starting dates for different phenotypes)
