Wonderful buddage and pics JustGrowing420 Thanks you so much. #1 is still Malawi dom, i would say #3 now too, and #2 the most Thai.

Looking good
I put to soak a couple of GT seeds, fems from the non thai dom version.
Hoping for good resistence to heat...
What is the minimum veg time befor switching to flower? They will have 20L of soil each.

Cheers

Koondense Glad to hear you are poping some GT. Heat and mold resistance of GT is better than Malawi and than most Malawi hybrids.
Regarding size. How tall do you want them ? Are you going to flower clones or from seed ? Indoors or outdoors ?

Dentex Hard to tell yet how are going to be the flower structures, but so far she anticipates New Killer type of resins! Well done keeping her under control.

I'm hoping from these 16 females that I find one that provides the long lasting stimulating euphoria I loved from the 2016 batch, these are f3's so maybe the quick phenotypes are more prevalent in this newer version, in the 16' version I noticed the later flowering girls were the most euphoric and had the longest lasting effects, just looking at these plants is making me giddy with anticipation.

Glad you know what you are seeking for in GT line Shua1991 the long flowering from the regular line are indeed a great source for the type effects you mention.

Hey Dubi,
the plan is to keep them indoors in a 90x90 space and to finish in late june, but i feel it's unrealistic. Flowering plants from seeds, not clones.
The main idea was to have one GT in a 40L pot, veg for 3 weeks(17/7) and flower under 12/12 schedule, finish with 11/13.
Late june finish would be ok as temps hit 30+ and get up to 35+ in july and august. If GT could handle 35°C then it could go in july.
Hoping for a nottoo hot summer.

Also there will be two BangiCongo x Panama very close, in a smaller tent. Those should finish in end june, probably.
Will post more in a dedicated thread, when i sort some other trouble out.

Cheers

Well it's only been 3 weeks with the buds in the jars at ~65% RH and it's improved quite a bit in power. Thanks for all the suggestions
It still has a little grassy smell and not much else but is coming good
A friend came over yesterday and we were walking back to the house from the shed. A bunch of us had a smoke out there and he was carrying some things back to the house and he stopped and said something like "it's just hit me". He stood still for a few minutes and was nearly unable to hold the items or stand up then finally managed to walk back to the house. A journey of only 20 meters . He continued to comment on how smashed he was for a short while then managed normal conversation again after composing himself
My wife was also a bit starry eyed which is unusual for her and she wants to know where I keep it At this rate I don't think I will get it fully aged. Happy wife happy life

I can only imagine what properly grown GT is like considering mine was the worst I have ever seen. My mate certainly didn't think it would slap him around like that considering how fluffy it looked with dead leaves among the buds and not much smell
I'm fairly sure the poor state was due to the overly rich potting mix I used with a slow release fertilizer. It's even too rich for the hardiest indicas with leaf burn on them all
I am only using organic mixes from now on and will try a higher ratio of perlite and vermiculite blend to weaken the mix and also some worm castings for good measure

Next GT grow will be a while off, after a Killer A5 Haze grow, but I can see why it has such a following of enthusiasts

 

[JustGrowing420]

First one harvested at around 85-88 days yesterday, chunky dense buds with complex fruity smell

 

[herbgreen]

Very Nice.....Textbook even!

 

[Tangwena]

Yes thats the one I had on my first grow of GT been looking for it ever since nice buds brother.

Only a few days before I introduce some females to the seeding area, one male is pretty much refusing to flower, very strange.

 

[Shua1991]

This male is very thai dominant, it has the double serrations on leafs and it is the slowest maturing among the males, probably not going to select for breeding, we'll have to see, one male is getting tossed as it matured too fast, which isn't a good sign for males IMO.

 

[Zanddar]

Nice JustGrowing420


I have some of these beans and have to do them soon.

 

[JustGrowing420]

Thanks guys, herbgreen textbook not even close haha! She matured alright though.

Upon a closer sniff the smell is sour fruit/spicy/woody with some meaty notes maybe.

 

[Shua1991]

I have narrowed down my male selection to 1 plant, smells like fresh/tangy Mango and has trichomes(albeit small) on its stamen, maturing about as quickly as the intersexing male I culled that was growing alongside it,, yet slower than the fastest male of the group, so middle of the pack.

The stamen of the male keeper smell very strong of candied Mango spice and honey when crushed, that's a good sign!

1 month now since my terrible attempt at growing the GT and it's losing the grass smell and getting more of a weed smell
Strength is above average and it comes on pretty fast. Tastes fairly generic and it's quite smooth
Everything else has run out and we even bought a little to tide us over, which was nowhere near as good, but that's gone so I can't see this making it more than a couple of months
Definitely will have to go again but next time I will have some serious stash put away so there's no rush
Next GT round I will make a much weaker batch of medium. I was thinking coco choir base with vermiculite, perlite, organic potting mix and worm castings. What do you guys think?
I am currently doing a few different strains and experimenting with different blends of those ingredients and watering with a weak bat guano 1-9-1 mix towards the end of the grow

Buy airports, some of the malawi dominant plants are sensitive to high moisture, they gotta breath more, at the very least drill a ton of holes in the pots you have and save the money.

I have some pots with holes which I'm using now for the soil grows thanks
Do you know how they grow in hydro?

I have zero experience with hydro, a mere soil grower myself.

I just had 2 five packs of Golden Tiger seeds delivered to me in the U.S.A. from Seedsman. I have been wanting to get my hands on some ACE gear for quite a few years. Some ACE seeds are now available to U.S. growers. I plan to plant them outdoors. Get clones from all of them in late August. Then see if the females can finish in a greenhouse @41N. I should have plenty of clones for a good winter indoor run.

 

[JustGrowing420]

First pheno dried and sampled, fermented fruit taste mixed with something resinous, very very potent but potency is more "raw" and in your face without the mood brightening and well being than panama haze offers for example. I wonder if the more Thai influenced phenos will be kinder in effect.

Don't take me wrong, I love it but can see how this one can wreck someone with low tolerance.

 

[iTarzan]

They are good looking nugs JG420. What did the trichs look like?
