very nice for a winter crop, hope they smoke well and make nice hash too
OK so I'm back to report what happened with my four Panamas.
Well to start off I got one female and three males.
I made a pollen mix with the three males and later used that to pollinate a smaller branch of the female with a q-tip. Though to be honest most of the pollen was probably from the earlier two males. Eventually ended up getting 69 mature seeds which actually was a bit less than I was expecting. Maybe too much of the pollen got stuck in the q-tip. Will have to try a different pollinating tool next time.
The female was grown (LST style) in soil under a 250W HPS and yielded just under 100 grams dry weight. Based on my previous experience with this system this is a very good yield for a single plant. Had I been growing only Panama, instead of a couple of lower yielding strains along with it, I imagine getting a yield of over 1 g/W should have been accomplishable. Therefore the strain really is comparable to modern indoor hybrids in the yield department.
The plant was very resinous with buds and even some of the leaves covered with big resin glands. What I also found interesting was that it started putting on that resin quite early. Not that the plant really took that long to flower anyway really as this girl was taken down after slightly over 10 weeks after the first pistils (11 weeks of 12/12).
For the most part the plant was very vigorous (as were the males) and even handled short periods of high temperatures during early flowering without any noticeable problems. However, during the last few weeks of flowering the stems were no longer strong enough to carry the buds and needed support.
The high is quite strong but still pleasant and should be suitable for most people. Although it's my understanding that this is a sativa strain it isn't the speedy kind of sativa... you aren't very active under the influence and won't have trouble sleeping either.
Based on my experience, I would recommend Panama to any grower. Especially at this price. ACE Seeds rocks.
Finally, here's a picture of a dry Panama bud:
dubi I`m interested which from ACE`s strain will finish properly outdoor at 43* latitude?
Around October maybe
High
I m not the only one who fell in love with ACE panama.
It s ok for partying, relax in the evening ( can not sleep sometimes) . It can be a bit strong when you drink rhum, or strong drink, you can finish realy fool .
Definitly one of my favorite smoke too.
