This is amazing news! Ive long wanted to try some Oaxacan. I did pick up a pack of 79 Oaxacan IBL that i have been wanting to start while i still have this Mexican Honduras female to cross with it.SoundsPlease, keep us updated during her second half of flowering.
Regarding American Sativas, last years i've working on a few really nice Oaxacan hybrids, but they have not been commercially released yet.
Will be eagerly awaiting the day you have more to say about those, even better when i have some in my hands.
Thanks Dubi! Last pheno to finish. Definitely more peachy n sweet smelling than the above shown, which was peachy and exotic wood/sandal thing going on. Fun plant to grow, definitely lovely smells that I wasn't expecting. Pictured here is Tikal 1, above is Tikal 2. They're both in the same pheno expression imo, maybe haze hybrid structure background with some obviously different terps. I'm letting them sit in jars, excited to report back smoke. Excellent yeilders, branchy plants that need support. Decent/easy trimming too. Overall, love the work ACE does.

Can't wait to cross Tikal with Oaxacan 79
Sounds like a scrumptious cross dubi. When can we expect this superb cross to hit the market?

My tikal is a wild child, here she is at 12.5 weeks from clone. I ended up taking her down at 14, which still felt a bit early, although there was some stress from neglect slowing things down. After 2 months in the jar, she smells like sandalwood, gassy fumes, and spice. The high is a potent stone, stronger and heavier than I expected, reminds me a lot of a more cerebral skunk actually, in a good way. We'll see how she is in another month if I run her again indoors, so far I like her best in veg so I've got the mom to grow outdoors.

14 weeks sounds like a lot for a Tikal plant. I would guess that's why the effect came out heavier.

the woodsy sour pheno i ran went nearly 14 weeks. it was fairly squat too. some go a bit longer apparently...caught me off guard a bit.

Yeah, I think the expression is less common leaning toward the kush/haze side. What was the high like on your pheno @splinter7 ?

the high was stupefying. for example, if you were trying to decide where to go get food, you just couldn't seem to get to a conclusion...like after 3 hours. it seemed pretty unique. a medium to strong head high with a very mild body stone. it wasn't 100pct sativa, but it was up there.
That's correct; longer flowering Tikal phenos were mainly sour and woody, as @splinter7 correctly pointed out. Around 2007, there was also a very incensey NL/Haze expression with much heavier effects. Perhaps yours, @early_hominid, leans towards such an older expression, although I think the stresses during flowering may have also affected it.

So I grew out like 10 Seeds, which gave me only females! I triple checked with the vendor if it wasn't fems by mistake. (It wasn't)
I've found 3 phenotypes in total.
1 of them is what i call the haze/kush pheno which finished quiet fast in around 10-11 Weeks. Stretches for about 4-5weeks only.
The high is more hybrid like where you can feel the kush/Haze cut trought the guatemala/sativa high
1 of them is very long in flowering took about 14 weeks to finish. Maybe could have even gone 1 week longer. She looks like a purebred sativa, stretches forever!
The high is very clear on the sativa side. 100% south/central american sativa
1 of them is a mix between the 2. Flower took about 12/13 weeks. The high was the strongest/long lasting from all. Stretch was okay to handle.
I've made clones from all and trying STS treatment at the moment.
Will cross with Queen of soul - Brothers grimm.
Also crossed with acapulco gold (Barneys farm) and Jacky white (paradise Seeds)

Thanks a lot for your feedback @Frank gallagher on your insights and different phenos you got from your Tikal seeds 
Could you describe the terps of each phenotype? Did any female produce loud incense or strawberry terps?

Fast Kush/Haze Phenotype: Flowering around 70-80 Days Smell: incense earthy tones smoke: smokes like an oldschool kush haze from around the 2000s in europe.
Slow flowering lanrace phenotype: flowering around 100-110 Days. Smell: strawberry hint which is overcovered by a insane smell of incense. it's like i entered a shop that sells those things.
3rd Phenotype is currently flowering for the 1st time. Looked like a indica during Veg and is turning into a true Sativa atm. Flowering for about 30+ Days and she is still stretching. She is only to start to smell a lil. strawberry yes, otherwise just earthy.
Because I have not found a male. I'm treating all 3 phenos with STS and will do a S1 and see where it goes from there. Will look for some pictures from the flowering plants from other phenotypes as well.
3rd one currently flowering:

Thanks for going into more details on their terpene profiles @Frank gallagher
Glad you found strawberries and loud incense on them
The NL/Haze used in this line came indeed from coffee shops seeds early 2000's from best Haze hybrid in town.
Happy to know you want to preserve and keep breeding with this strain, the expressions you got are really good and archetypical for Tikal strain.
