The Ace Pic Place

[dubi]

Oye, Budmate, I hear you on the oil thing...been making me own for years now ... acidity always below 1 and always a tad bitter...if the biterness isn't there at the base of the throat, then the stuff is NOT top notch...

The last two photos make me wonder... Malawi or Panama?

Hi orfeas,

What a beautiful beach you have posted!
Looks like paradise! Wish i can visit your country soon, can't believe i have not been there yet.

About the pics ? Is a Malawi/Panama or Panama/Malawi hybrid, or a pure Malawi or a 'pure' Panama that you have mislabeled?

 

[orfeas]

Orfeas, loving sunny plants with pink hues in there too! Feeling the Panama is pushing red traits thru? Has she got a lemony smell but same time extremely resiny in the nose too?
The Malawi is more Oily and Earthy in nose I often find and it is easiery to identify that earthy flavor in most Afreekan cannabis plants.
Either way you gonna be smiling and enjoying when harvest day comes! Happy growing!

Hail, ULMV!
appreciate your input! the little top is of my crippled dame and the only one to flower in this fashion...colourwise I mean...
aromas are hard to pinpoint...yet they are so aromatically strong, at times like evening primrose, then orange blossoms...but today it hit me with a very distinct aroma of a particular grape cultivar... all in all the smell is definitely mesmerising...

What really surprised me was the little bud of a recently removed rotten branch I sampled yesterday, a fine smoke as if the bud were ripe...will post some pics tomorrow...

Lebanese sativa close to harvest.

Lebanese sativa close to harvest.

Good news! The outdoor testing of the P3 lebanese generation we have recently produced has been a success, and this old school lebanese sativa will be officially released in 2018 in pure form and standard/regular format.

First we must wait for the smoking tests of the cured flowers
and the cannabinoid and terpene results from the lab.

Latest pics, at about 10 days from harvest.
First lebanese budpics and pics with resin details.

Oye, carajo, you work too much and so Greece is so far away from Spain...

Forgive my fuzzy presentation! It's a Panama x Malawi of the testers you sent me the year before...like afore said, it belongs to that big stem dame that's been loosing branches due to stem rot...
She's fattening and packing on resin pretty fast now and started to smell outside the pen paradoxically, I don't like that...

Salud

And a few lebanese colas, she likes to foxtail a lot showing all her sativa essence. Her flowering time is moderate (9.5-11.5 weeks, depending on the growing variables), but they finish quite early here at 37ºN (around 3rd-4th week of September) due starting to flower very early outdoors (semi autoflowering trait). They are also very good yielders for a pure landrace strain. Sticky resins in late flowering and very pleasant sweet creamy old school aromas before harvest.

Malawi just starting flower OD

Malawi just starting flower OD

Beautiful girl she turned into. And will have to come inside this week, getting cold. Any Malawians tell if she's Old or New Killer influenced?

 

[Borderliner]

looks old killer with columnar grow. from fem seeds?

 

[Limeygreen]

The foxtailing on the Lebanese leaves me with a question, would the foxtail attribute for this variety be considered desirable for hashish production? Everything is more open and exposed than a dense flower so to me it would be easier to break off the glands and less rough work needing to be done which should make it easier to have less contaminate with less work.

 

[herbgreen]

That foxtail matrix is a beautiful thing...

 

[Buddler]

Dubi I hope you make some hash out of that Leb and post em up for us. Beautiful cola's.. Thanks for the update.

Holeshot the PCK really adds a lot of flavour to the Malawi great cross thanks man..

I can tell ya very nice and imagine the mountain of bud off her.

Hi Limey I remember hot knifing blonde leb back in the day always tons of that hash around ,I always thought hash was made from indicas ? any ways those plants have lots of resin be some nice hash..

 

[Buddler]

Any ways .heres my OD Malawi top shes about 5 weeks in,not getting much sun, frosty little buds though and has that nice smell to her

Hi deepwaterdude,

What a beautiful Malawi you have outdoors!
I'm glad you decided to plant her directly in the ground, she will reward you well at the end.

She looks more New Killer Malawi influenced to me. Old Killer Malawi expressions have slightly thinner stems with a bit of reddish colors in the petiols and stems, just slight differences in the growing traits that only the people that have had first hand experience with both parental plants would be able to recognize. But there are more evident differences between both in flowering, New Killer yields better, flowers faster and the resin production and size of the trichomes is even higher than Old Killer Malawi. Although some friends tell me the Old Killer is still the strongest one and has no rival in this sense.

We will see in late flowering, hopefully is a very killer pheno hehehehe

Hi Limeygreen,

Honestly i don't know for sure but yours is a very interesting statement. If i'm not wrong the lebaneses flowered producing 4 waves of flowering, producing lots of foxtails in the 3rd and 4th reflowerings.

The lebanese is not so resinous as the best archetypal afghani or pakistani hashplants (for example Deep Chunk), the best real afghani and pakistani hashplants are pure indicas, and the lebanese is a pure sativa. Pure sativas doesn't produce much resins on the leaves, while the best hashplant indicas produce much more compact, rounded and tighter flowers with plenty of resins on the buds and leaves. Lebanese produce much bigger colas than these indicas, and the flower distribution is more airy, allowing proper ventilation inbetween the flowers, lebanese grows in very hot and arid climates in its native place, so she doens't like rains and very humid climates, her resin production is quite good in late flowering for a landrace, indeed my hands and camera were full of resin after taking these last pictures But you need to mature properly all her reflowerings to get her best potential in resin production.

Take in mind, not all the hashplants are indicas, for example lebanese, old moroccans strains, and the charas strains from North India and Nepal are sativas.

I'm also curious about the hash coming from this lebanese line, guess we will need to try it
After a good curing we will bring to the lab samples of the different lebanese lines for cannabinoid and terpene analysis.

Here's a few pics of the VB x Thai I ran. I've got more pictures somewhere, and I'll put those up when I find them. I think I took the earliest one down around 95 days and the longest one went over 110 days. It still wasn't ready, but it had to come down.

 

[Abja Roots]

Here's a dry pic of the #4. I made some crosses with this one. I hit it with my Grandoggy Purps Male. Thought it would make an interesting combination.

 

[deepwaterdude]

Wow, killer VB x Thai, both nice looking.

Thanks dubi and bud for the feedback on the Malawi. Sure she's killer old or new

 

[ULMW]

Vietnam Black x Thai !!! Amazing job Abja Roots. Love dem black leaves and how she just stands out in the dry sample sparkling resin pon da purple leaves looks delicius!

Thanks guys! She was beautiful flower, but in my current climate it's hard to grow something that takes so many days. I'm glad I made some seeds for a later date, and I still have some more ACE packs to run thru in the future

Everyone who got to try this flower understood that it was something they were unlikely to see again. Would love to move to Colombia in the future to at least be able to run flowers like this 6 months out of the year.
