I got mine direct from Ace...LOVELY!! Where are these available?
Have a couple of these just finishing up and they are definitely a keeper. Love the complex smells, colors and effect. Have made a few crosses that I hope to have the time and space to work with later on. Thanks you Ace & Dubi, I searched for viet black genetics for years until I found them at a great price and availability, the cross with meow thai is great. I've had two phenos show so far, both fruity, one more on the citrus-strawberry side with earthy tones and the other very strawberry pez scented which has shown the most colors from the low temps and finishing weeks. Hope to get a hold of Pie de pato antes que desparece. So little space, such unknown time.

My limited experience with VbT-
I started 5 VbT seeds, 3 germed, and got 1 lady. She seemed very Vb-leaning... dark green leaves, spindly branches, and smelled like dirt/hummus. She finished in 13 weeks. (btw, I got near 100% germination from all my other seeds/strains, so don't know what lead to VbT's low germ rate)
Along side her I grew out my 1 OE bonsai mum, also Vb-leaning. I took her to 14 weeks when first grown from seed, and the clone-mum finished in 12.
Effects-wise, at least from this extremely small sample, I'm kinda liking the OE better- the VbT's (pheno) high is chill, quiet, and introspective. The OE, when the volcano is set to 170C, gives a nice bit of sativa fuego, felt in your core, with a fairly clear head. When the volcano is set to 190C the OE gives a pretty nice hybrid effect- a little "boozy" and fun.
Yield was far better with OE.
I hit both the VbT and the OE with NJ pollen, and I'm wanting to pop the OExNJ beans first, hoping I can find something Jam-leaning, with the other three genetic ingredients rounding out the high.
Bottom line- there are other strains at Ace worth looking into, and some with even shorter-flowering times/better yields.
cheers
Vietnam Black Thai is out of stock at the moment but you still can find her .... some ace seeds' distributors still stock a few packs from past releases.
It's one of my favourite sativa x thai hybrids, the best one in terms of earliness and yield, the best phenos are the vietnam black dominant ones, in fact some expressions were almost or very very close to the original Vietnam Black mother. The strawberry aromas come from the recombination of vietnamese genetics, the thai has not this kind of terpene profile.
I'm interested in the Vietnam Black or VB x Thai, and the Oaxacan 79 x Oaxacan over at Cannabiogen. Looks like a race to see which company has their fresh seeds first.
Wait a minute... how about Vietnam Black x Oaxacan79?
Mmmm... huh.
I never thought of a strawberry taste before in my VbT, but now that you mention it, I can detect a light strawberry flavor that's had its sweetness removed- a light dry strawberriness.My experience with the VbT was similar to yours. I'm guessing the strawberry pheno is coming from the Thai? Anyway when you say there's other strains worth looking into are you referring to the OE? Ya seem to really like it
Thanks for the advice, GB! The x18 (on its own) is even a little bit clear trippy, an unexpected bonus. My VbT's package date is 16/10/12, at which point they were F3 already?...Johnny blaze, X18, n F13 are all excellent lines. Look forward to seeing how they blend with the Vbt. If you have the room it would definitely be worth line breeding the Vbt to an F3 before pollination. Either way I hope ya make a ton of seeds with them!
