Took her at about 9 weeks, she really didnt want to go much longer. Good yield considering low veg time, she fills in nice. Smells earthy and like rotten fruit, haha
Great OEs you guys!NENugger,it may be an older strain but it is so unique in terms of taste and effect,very vigorous and great yielder.There will always be a place in my garden for orient express.All day and night smoke,maybe the perfect strain for me in my humble opinion and a must-grow for a ganja lover,especially for Ace afficionados.
Hi Lester!The effect is very different than the dutch or american hybrids I have tried.The hit is very unique and very consistent on all phenos,can't really describe the feeling.It is very clear,energetic ,no racy at all,while potent at the same time.At bigger doses can lock your body while your mind is floating in space.Can range between phenos,some are more potent ,I 've had one more narcotic but I let it overripe(about 50% amber).All of them gave me very positive vibes.For me it can be the first,as well as the last joint of the day.Hope this helps!
This is the orient express I just finish about 5 weeks ago. I've smoked quit a few times but wanted to wait until better cure for a report which I will have this weekend. So far I can say I really like the taste and effect as well as the growth pattern. This thing is unstoppable she just grows and fills in nicely. Her only requirement is heavy feeding...but she rewards you with serious buddage. Her effect is also not very common and a welcomed surprise...more on that with the report. This is the same plant as before just trained a bit different...that main cola took off when flipped and looks like it may be massive if she fills in. sorry for the poor quality photos...
Thanks for the pictures and updates! OE was on my short list for my recent order but didn't make the final cut. It's the leader on my next order for an all-arounder.
Hi Nenugger!Truth is that OE has the potential of yielding really big buds,check some monsters at the pics on ace site.The plant on the second pic I posted was grown in the shade(also noob soil errors) and was the only one that didn't get fat.What kind of lights do you use?
Regarding the fading process,I stop feeding about 3 weeks from harvest ,sometimes even earlier. Some people claim that it's wrong,but having tried both ways I have found what suits me.
Enjoy the harvest!
Finally got around to writing a small report on the OE. I only had one OE this time around…had several plants but a couple died as seedlings during a drought…had to leave my garden for a few days on short notice and lost many plants. Anyhow, the lone OE turned out fantastic. The smell is very pronounced and difficult to pin down…smells like sweet compost with floral hints but it is a deep rich aroma and smell up the room quickly. The taste is a complex with hints of floral, incense, hash notes that is not subtle and reminds me more of a hash plant type of smoke. Very smooth and inviting smoke to be sure. The effect is quit unique as well. This particular plant is very heady and while it has some body (very little) it super clear and mentally engaging. Once buzz starts, there is warming sensation that makes everything feel mellow and relaxed. This gives the effect an openness and calming sensation which at first feels like it would be conflicting with the sativa effect but it does not. It allows me to function during the day mentally alert but calm with zero anxiety. The effect is powerful and lasts about 2.5-3 hours with about a gram/joint. The fade is clean but I’ve noticed if I smoke this all day or too much in one sitting I feel somewhat tired at the end...probably the Yunnan side coming through. I would not recommend this late at night as it is mentally active high; even though it has a calming effect there is no couch lock. Because of the sharp contrast of effect this is very unique cannabis and excellent for those seeking the equatorial effects without any of the anxiety that sometimes accompanies such plants. I have already put this in for a second run and will try it both early and late flowering to see where she takes me. This plant went 9.5 weeks and was ready at 9 weeks. I am a fan…
