Thanks, dubi.Welcome LawFalutin to the Orient Express world
Wish you have a fruitful flowering, best regards!
I've avoided feeding my OE anything until today (@22 days flower) to see if it would limit stretching. Is this a good strategy?
Hello LowFalutin,
Then avoid any Nitrogen feeding (or just in vert low dosage) till they stop stretching, guess you got a Vietnam Black pheno!
these 9 month old bud look really tasty,, it gives me the urge to pop the OE packs I have left.
It ll take a little time cos the room is filled with two big girls atm
I might give it an other go after these and my malawis.
Nice work K.
Dubi's seeds rock.

Last OE buds..they are 9 months old, really tasty and they smell so good something like honey and fruits[/URL]
Honey, earthy and slighty floral, this is my favourite Orient Express aroma, enjoy the last fruits till the new ones are about to come
I'm at 92 days of flower with my OE girl.
What's the longest you've seen her go?
thanks

Hello LawFalutin,
The longest pheno i've seen was around 100 days and was very very vietnam black dominant (tall, purple, almost pure sativa looking), this phenos is quite difficult to find.
The sterotype Orient Express pheno grows short bushy, sativa/indica appearance, fast-moderate flowering time, short-medium internodes and big yield.
Are you growing the standard or fem version ? Do you remember the packing date of the envelope ?

Thanks for the reply, dubi.
She finally came down today, at 97 days. I think the combination of cold flowering temps combined with a VB-leaning pheno is maybe what took her out this long.
I'm very glad that I topped her multiple times.
Thanks for helping us raise your children.
You are welcome LowFalutin 
Thanks for share your Orient Express harvested plant, wish she provides great moments in the next months. Looks clearly the Vietnam Black sativa pheno, with high flower leaf ratio and small thin leaf ... how are the aromas ? Organic humid compost mixed meat ?
Guess the plant suffered some kind of salt, ph or feeding problem cos she has lost all the main leaves on the way and finished quite yellowish, with better health the final yield could be real nice!!

Slow to sprout?
Slow to sprout?
After much messing around I've come to the suspicion that the OE take longer to sprout than other Ace strains such as the NepJam and Panama or the single seed place I bought two separate orders of OE Fem and OE Standard are both old stock because both were super slow to sprout.
Also OE seems to be very sensitive to the moisture level in the medium as seedlings and if it's too wet (or perhaps too rich) they grow very warpy leafs and either die outright or grow out of it with normal leaves at higher internodes. (Someone posted a picture a few dozen pages back of a warpy looking seedling that is exactly what I'm seeing here.)
I've got one growing so far out of a mixture of 5 seeds started 3 feminized and 2 standard hopefully it's female. I have hopes for 2 more that might get around to coming out of the soil on their own schedule.
Are OE slower to sprout? Known to be unusually sensitive to too moist (or rich) a medium at the seedling stage?

i have an ace mix pack dated sometime 2010 and on most of the ones i've germed the first set of true leaves are quite warped. growth is very slow so far but the new sets of leaves look increasingly healthy.
i've wondered what caused that.. perhaps some chemical in the plastic tube, or the dessicant beads, x-rays in shipping.. maybe it is the soil, but as said, they're growing.

Pheno 1 of 5. I ended up keeping the tall Sativa Vietnam Black leaning phenotype. She is a beast. Smells like sweet and sour incense funk. I will post more picks coming soon. Thanks ACE collective and keep up the excellent work!

Hello de145,
Orient Express seeds available for the past year are very fresh, both standard and fem stock has less than 1 year.
Nepalese Jam and Panama seeds are more very vigorous to sprout cos they were matured outdoors under very good conditions while Orient Express´seeds were matured indoors, i feel seeds matured outdoors are usually more vigorous to sprout and produce healthier seedlings, but anyway all the stock you are commenting about is fresh.
You are right, Orient Express usually likes drier ambient in the first 2 weeks of life and second half of flowering, especially the indica phenos.. some could be a bit slow in the first days of life but they start to grow vigorously after the 2nd-3rd week of life.
Hello waveguide,
It's not rare some Orient Express seedlings show deformities in the first days of life but they will grow fine later, dont worry
Best wishes
