hey dubi... sorry for lack of update/smoke report etc... but have been away, and have not had a chance to sample the 2013 GT u so gracefully sent us...
that will change this weekend , when I expect the jars of curing bud to arrive at my door..
I will give a full report after the weekend... I'm looking forward to this smoke... again many thanks to dubi
well finally got the GT... its been curing for about 1+month... we planted 2 seeds, both plants looked like twins, tho one was a touch smaller.. from the '2' plants under 1kwatts, we got 5oz's 'dry'
smell is very piney ...have not had a chance to smoke either yet... that will come tonite, and tomm nite, and will report back...

I decided to chop my golden tiger at 10 weeks 11/13. Its currently in the dark for 1 day, then chop. about 10% white hairs, 90% red hairs. Mostly milky/cloudy. No amber. Buds mostly puffed up. It could probably swell a bit more, but I'll try to tame the beast a bit by pulling a bit early. I want to be able to enjoy it.

Hey Mate, was that a fem plant or reg? My Fem looks like it will go at least 16 weeks. I saw Dubi saying that the regs finish a little faster. 10 weeks is early though. Good luck.

Hey holeshot running 5 fems right now and they are definitely are going to go 16 and + for 2 of them....Wish mine were that mature at that age.. hope the other 3 are good at 16... I think they will. Good things come to those that wait?? Hope So.. Thanks Tangwena for your experience with this strain.. Happy new year
to all!
Absolutely
2015 Fem GT Malawi early phenol. I chopped it today at 10 weeks 11/13 with mostly milky/cloudy trichs. Could have probably pushed another couple weeks, but this go round, I will try the Early/mid ripe. Next time I do GT, I will do partial early ripe, partial mid ripe, partial mostly ripe to see which I prefer. My preference usually is early/mid ripe on Sativa.

Dang wish I would got one of them ( malawi early pheno).. lol
Not bitchin or braggin.... just wanna try some asap as this is my 1st ACE grow.. Like your style of variable harvesting times but I definitely didnt get an "early pheno" in my pack of 5.... Anyone can read Dubis description of the strain so I wont re hash.. think I got some of the longer flowering versions .. IDK nor do I care. .. Gonna try to take them to their limits if possible.. just getting impatient as I have been a skunk/indica/sativa/commercial grower for years and these are testing my patience .... But Im willing to go the distance. "flying high now" as the rocky theme chimes in the background..
Peace!

Hi justabluez,
Congrats on the harvest
Wish you enjoy your first Golden Tiger experience! I think you got the early dense Malawi dominant pheno in your GT, it can be harvested perfectly with 10 weeks of flowering or just a bit more...
It depends a lot on the concrete individual/pheno you are growing, the environmental conditions (shorter flowering photoperiods like the 11/13 you have used help a lot, especially if you are growing sativas from seed) and the personal preferences of the grower regarding the finished product.
There are longer flowering Golden Tiger phenos which are usually the stronger ones, these ones are better to let them flower until at least 13 weeks.
Growers that are looking for the strongest raw potency in Malawi and Golden Tiger usually fully mature their plants, and then let them overmature a bit more for 7-14 days more to increase the resin production even more. Then the finished product can be really scary in strenght, deepness and duration.

Thanks for the great insight Dubi. Where you stated

without doubt priceless information to have when flowering Sativas. That quote will change how and when I harvest my ladies. Knowing this easily tells me why I am underestimating the current Malawi. I harvested mine week 14 and I knew I should have let it go another 2 weeks but I will know next time for sure. Thanks again.

Golden Tiger (thai pheno)
Golden Tiger (thai pheno)
yes i can confirm that!
my GT(thai pheno) is much stronger than the Malawi leaning phenos...
but was also the longest grow from seed i have done... around 15 weeks... @ the end i got around 200g dried bud's only heavy potent weed... now after 6 month cure it's stronger than Malawi to me...!!!
I'm happy that i have clones from my thai GT... will do a winter run now
because i need more GT
P.S. I'm sure now that Malawi, Golden Tiger and Zamaldelica are one of the best pure Sativa on Maket. Highly recommend!
wish u all a great 2016

hehe,
the madmac thai pheno GT, was basically what made me buy GT!
although not yet considering growing.
please can anyone explain why letting go longer, makes for better ?
i have ALWAYS been under the impression to go for cloudy trics, opaque milky colour, as many as possible, with some obviously falling, on the clear / amber side as allegedly highest THC point;
thc allegedly degrading to CBN, "peak harvest window" etc
why let it go longer ?
thankyou!!

One might consider to wait untill the plant completely has "consumed itself". By this I mean 'till the plant has dropped all her leaves.
To me it takes a lot of patience, but I think it's necessary to obtain the best results.

Dubi is there anything else I can do to speed these girls up.. ??
Switched to 10.5/13.5 hours mid way through (approx 6 weeks from seed---btw flowered from 2 nodes at 12/12)...
Temps were kept constant at 75 but decided to move to cooler temps for a couple hours at night then back up during day..
Tied em down , cracked the stem, and then into a scrog net with
1K MH for 9 weeks then switched to HPS.. (just throwing that out there). On week 12 now and happy with the girls just slow growing.
Lots of bud formation, slight yellowing on the lower leaves as she matures as expected. More Yellowing on the earlier maturing/higher maturing buds at this time as expected ( 2 of the 5 plants)
Growing methods are arguable so wont go there but I do have the
ability to adjust NPK's..
I think Im just being impatient but any tips would be appreciated...
Should I adjust temps/lighting/NPK....?........cant wait for the finish

Thanks Dubi,
I probably should have waited at least 1-2 more weeks, but impatience got the best of me. Also, the trics were basically Milky white. However, I do believe that the bud would have swelled much more with more time. I also can see how it would be more potent with a couple more weeks. But from what I've read about GT potency, an early pull would probably work best for me. I'm SCARED of GT RAW FULL POTENCY!!! Just call me Chicken!
My GT has a very loud almost skunky/Piss smell. A little piece of a nug will stink up the whole room. It smells DANGEROUS!!! I have not tested it yet. Will let you know how the early pull turns out.
