That is some nice thick buddage Beav!
Thanks dubi for your message. Those of us who have followed you for a long time, we thank you for being so close to us (at heart). I wish I had the space and the weather to even try. At the moment I will settle seeing from the outside the great work that you do learning little by little.Thanks to you So Jung and Tovaritx for the nice ideas
I really appreciate when growers use their imagination to think of new combinations between our strains.
Tikal and Congo have already very friendly effects and their easyness of growing and flowering times are similar to Orient Express sativa pheno.
Most of our classic strains are already very highly worked, through many breeding generations, so since 2015 i started to explore more seriously to produce new F1 hybrids between the best (or elite) parental plants of our different classic strains, although with so many strains and so many pure parental plants the permutations (all the possible mathematical combinations) produce sooooo many possibilities that is impossible to produce and explore them all in short term, but sooner or later may happen
Or you can also doing them by yourself, i always encourage growers to explore combinations of our genetics which are suitable for their goals and that we haven't produced yet.
PS: just what I like most about your work. First stabilize and make a genetic base, then F1.
Salut i treball! <3
----Gracias dubi por tu mensaje. Los que te seguimos desde hace tiempo, agradecémos que seas tan próximo con nosotros ( de corazón). Ojalá tubiera el espacio y el clima para ni que fuera intentarlo. De momento me conformaré viendo desde fuera el gran labor que haces aprendiendo poco a poco.
PD: justamente lo que más me gusta de tu trabajo. Primero estabilizar y hacer una base genética, luego F1.
Salut i treball ! <3

That's the chinese missile Orient Express indica pheno, BeaverIslander
Thanks for the I.D. on this one Dubi, it is crazy how dense this plant is.
Should I just let it go or try to thin it out? It is under cover so it won't get wet.

I see this thread is 10 years old and the Orient Express is still going down the line, the plants have many growers very happy, they look good quality, interesting and not too expensive either.
This one goes into my list of ones to try straight away, ACE seeds are company i did not know about but there is some valuable reading in these long threads.
Thank you to the breeders and the growers contributing.
If anyone has any more to say or show with this one i would be pleased to hear or see it.

Thank you hush i appreciate your answer and it confirms what i have seen here where you have the same people digging into many of the varieties offered.
ACE are the people giving the older smokers the chance at some familiar vintage but more scarce genepools. The names are simpler for the varieties which i think works for me as i can remember them better haha!

Orient Express coming along nicely. Aside from moving a few branches that broke because of weight, or compressing against each other as the plants leaned against the greenhouse frame, doing well. Bangi haze I had to rip up. The genetics couldn't hold up very well, since branches all fell off on the plants, and sickly plants might start getting mold, and eventually spread.
Overall, happy with my Orient Express hitting 14 feet in Massachusetts.

That’s a beauty Hellgrammite, she looks incredibly healthy. Do you ever see leaf spot disease in your area of Ma.?

Occasionally. This year has been pretty good, especially using Ace genetics. I haven't had any issues with rot or mold so far. Orient Express has had a lot of fan leaves brown spot and then fall off, but that is because of the extreme nutrient hunger this plant has.
Other than bud rot or powder mold, some diseases can be a little harder to spot (sometimes its just nutrient deficiency). My philosophy is that its a problem when the buds/sugar leaves show issues. Fan leaves are the soldiers of the operation, so browning and falling off mid-flower should not be shocking for some strains.

My only puzzle to solve is that given these plants are near 15 feet and forming a few dozen fattening colas....I am assembling a team to help harvest. We are talking about multiple pounds of weed, more than I anticipated I would harvest.

The buds are starting to get some mass, and trichomes are sprinking across the sugar leaves now.
I would estimate I am starting week 5, so my plan is to harvest between October 11th and the 20th. Depends on:
-Frost Warnings
-Trichome color/leaf yellowing
-A cold,wet, cloudy October.
Ideally a day of rain is followed by a day of sunshine, so the plants have a good chance of drying relatively quickly. But if the weather is crappy, I might have to cut it soon.
