Minimum of 11-13 weeks from the time they show early flowers. The later flowering phenotypes are superior imho.
14-16 weeks for longer ones from onset of flower from group of 6, some would have been 12-13 but I culled them as I didn't care for those ones. Super resinous, oily smells and tastes and a lot of lemon in most of them. Long flowering green tea and lemon was superior in effect, clusters of foxtails and small calyxs.

Also, my time table using 11-13 weeks is at 10-14 light on/off schedule when you see flowers forming. The shorter lighting schedule speeds up the tropical sativas to more manageable flowering time, I found the heavily thai-dominant plants have an autoflowering tendency when rootbound, so keeping males isn't as easy.

Damnn some bad news !
I got a mild case of N toxicity/nute burn with my Golden Tiger. The Panama Haze next to it doesn't show any sign of toxicity. I'm experimenting with Fox Farm soil, 50% Happy Frog and 50% Ocean Forest. I hope it's going to adapt before flowering.

The crown looks healthy. I wouldn't worry about the tip burn, it's very mild. If it persists you'll have a problem but like I said, the crown looks good.

Still a bit of nute burn on the crown but lateral branching have none and the plant looks healthy overall. She probably will get used to the rich soil as she mature and use the excess N during the first trimester of flowering (the stretch). I'm soon going to top the plant and switch the light schedule to 11/13.

That looks like a Malawi dominant phenotype, how does it smell?

Indeed it looks a lot like the Malawi a grew this spring. Tho it's a bit more smelly in veg than the pure Malawi. I would describe the aroma as funky and a bit lemony for now. I originally popped two seeds but chose this individual over the other seedling because it was a stinker

Yours don't burn like mine ... what soil are you using ? Are you growing organically ?

You’ll have better results if you drop the ocean forest from the mix and just use happy frog with occasional amendments.
I don’t know if ocean forest is just all over the place ph wise or something else, but I have always had issues using it with weed, peppers, tomatoes. Pretty much everything eventually stresses in it. I dropped using it and haven’t had an issue since.

You guys are really making me want to add some GT into my next rotation. Those plants look great!

Thank you for the tip !

I hope it works for you as well as it did for me. I struggled for a while with trying to figure it out and as soon as I dropped it things were easier. The bushmaster coco loco was stable for me as well but I prefer the standard brown bag happy frog as a base for the Ace sativas.
It’s light enough I’ve never seen it burn things and it’s easy to add to organically without issues. Only thing to watch for with it is it likes to get dry spots if you don’t water evenly.
Can’t wait to see how your GT comes out.

Yes all organic
It's recycled soil from the past few years, (originally EB stone 420) reconditioned with compost, worm castings, and an un measured sprinkle of all purpose organic fertilizer.
I recently stepped up my vermicompost bin so this year the worm casting addition got increased significantly. I've seen a very noticeable improvement in the heath and vigor and overall plant happiness. I hope that continues for the next few months.
I did get a little nutrient overdose on some of my other plants but I'm sure it's the unmeasured scoop of fertilizer, I bet they'd have been happy with straight old soil and worm castings.

It's gold info man !
In the past I had great results with a local organic soil brand for my hybrids but it did not worked as expected with Ace sativas. Since then I've been looking for an alternative. I read lot of growers use Biobizz but I wasn't able to buy some online or in my area. I tought about using straight happy frog but was afraid that I would have to fertilise heavily (what I don't like to do). I ended up adding 50% Ocean Forest but it clearly wasn't necessary, certainly not in veg.
I will know what to do in the future.

The regular happy frog is light on nutes, especially cal mag so make plans for that if you are under LED especially.
