Golden Tiger

It seems that my Golden Tigers are too tamed for the wild in the tropics (10N). From the 3 Plants I have, 2 started flowering less than a month from seed (1male 1 female) and stayed very small. The 3th one sexed after about 5 weeks (f) but keeps on growing although slowly. Somehow they don't seem too happy in this environment. No signs of sickness but they just grew very slowly from the beginning. Same soil and conditions as other Sativas who all grow vigorously on the same place.Tried to boost them a little with moringa leaf tea. Hope the later sexing one will still veg for a good while before flowering. I pollinated the early female with the male I had. They had similar structure and the edges of the leaves are super sharp. Maybe im going to get them growing bigger the next time. Starting seedling in April or May when the light circle is slightly longer could make a difference as well.
Already a remarkable amount of trichomes. Smell is watermelon bubblegum with a (dubi described it perfectly) oily background. I like it a lot. Reminds me slightly on White Widow X Bubblegum, an all time favorite of mine.

The 2th female doesn't have these sharp edged leaves.

Found a male GT. (I think.) Photos are not great, sorry, growth is really aggressive. Develloped lit over night. . Try to reveg and prun it, and segregate it.

The act of circumcision.
Ok. 'i finanlly cut it down to a leafless 15 ender of 50 cm.
no flowers. no leafs.
no balls or flakes. just fimming everywhere.

And it was naked.
will put it to a medium light space of 20 C.

Looks like a Hannukha Candle now.

( no photos !!')

My guessmis: it will reveg. 'this species is hard takin. Unkillable.
I am happy with one banana, 'I dont want to infect the hood.
willmtakemsome time. The other GT just shows first fem pistils.
Will take lots of time. \Both. So, we are getting there.

edit and update.
The other GT started flowering its a lady, the PuMa and Guawis stretch but dont bloom
yet.

Looks like a boy to me

So, Both Pumas seem to be males too. will use them later this year, if that works. circumsized them
But.
The two guawis are fems (no blooming yet) and the one tiger blooms.
I used to remove the sugar leafs, especially the big ones, to promote more flowers.(?)
Seemed to work in other grows. Also reduces height.
Now i have much more space. Does it make sense to put the one remaining golden tiger girl on this stage in a huge pot instead?! or is it too late already ?

Kushes ime are only good for 1-3 months after harvest, a good sativa can be good after harvest after a month, 3 months is better and then up to two years remains good but 9-12 months seems most optimal for a longer term store before degradation starts to bring it down, 6-12 months is generally a sweet spot for me.

I agree with you Limey 100% … modern hybrids 1-3 months…. Pure satties 3-12 months and out to two years even as Dubi states. Those are just my personal preferences.

The longer the cure in satties the overall smoking experience gets oh sooooo good. Doobies burn beautifully.

@GreenDawn
What is the stage of the GT girl, how much stretching happened? Size of current pot, total area, canopy etc..?
Pictures would help.

Cheers

Then GT has 60cm and first fem (pre)flowers appeared (the golden hairs) this week, defoliated, 8l bucket, stretch slowed down significiantly after the flower startet or maybe the barber stressed her a little. Potentially i could fill a huge pot, bigger than 25 l. Or even more. The guawis stand in 13 l of soil.
The area is round 3,5 x 1,65 ft and 1, 60.
Could cut out the ceiling though for 25 cm extra and the bottom for 10 cm but would rather prune.

The two guawis show little effort to bloom on this stage and are just a little bigger (due to bigger pots, i guess.)
The Pumas are little more stretchy slick sativas. And i am still not finally convinced of the sex of the second plant. Looked more boyisch.

I am always thankful to hear your opinions...

I think 15-20L is plenty especially if they are already in mid stretch.
With bigger pots you can extend the stretch phase, but it will mostly depend on the phenotype. Also the space is ok but GTs can fill it quickly.

Put it in 20 l Pot. I never had a problem repotting, btw.
All my plants seem to love it. Not only my selected weeds. Its already shinig after 12 hrs!
In the case the main antenna goes to much, it will be broken on the main canope level. Just works for me, i know its not winning a price then. But buds,

I grow golden tiger at latitude 19S with good results, even clones do not flower between October and end of February

Just a progress report from my guerrilla site in good ol New Zealand. Both GT plants doing very well. Similar phenos, maybe one week apart in terms of maturity. Pumping them with soluble potassium whenever I water. A solid grow
