Greetings and happy Spring!
This year I am growing a mixed seed pack of Sativas from Ace Seeds. Last year, after successfully growing and cloning Tajikistani Hash plants plus a few Indica dominant autos, I realized to my horror that the powdery mildew in this area is not going to be eradicated. I knew this from growing flowering perennials for decades but really wasn't thinking about the spillover. Indicas being generally prone to PM. It didn't start until around late July but it was impossible to kill, from more natural sprays to peroxide based sprays...the BT did cut it back by quite a degree but I've decided it's not worth the effort. I had to wash all the buds from the last Taj plants in peroxide, they cured fine and taste fine, but I'd just rather not have to bother. Besides, I'd prefer a little more 'headiness' in my smoke.
Researched the most PM resistant strains, usually those growing in the same type of environment in the wild as we have here in MI, which turns out to be valleys in Asia who experience snowy winters, albeit shorter than ours (although global warming is evening out that metric), and damp humid autumns.
Started these seeds two weeks ago Wednesday, all germinated expect four.
I've got them in cactus soil, which is very good, organic, and fantastically well-draining. I'll be putting them in holes with half aged compost (a pile I started four years ago), half native soil. The Tai Chi is going in a five gallon pot.
I had some free auto seeds from Fastbuds they wanted us to trial, but every single seed sprouted strangely, curled like corkscrews, and eventually died. Could this be from irradiation during shipping? No idea, but of nine seeds over three different attempts none of them survived. It was a shame. I should have about five Northern Lights and maybe a Widow or two, will keep them in my new grow room in the garage.
My primo seed is a Tai Chi, and I only have one, so send positive vibes, as she's the one I really want to grow this year, and take some clones. This strain has a green pheno and a red-leaved pheno, we'll see which one I end up with.
THC 16 %
CBD Below 0.1
CBG 0.7 %
Flowering indoors - 10-11 weeks
Flowering outdoors - End of October
Yield - High
Resistance against spider mites Average-High
Resistance against powder mildew High
Resistance against botrytis High
Resistance against white fly Average-High
Resistance against cold High
Resistance against heat High
Latitude 0º-45º
Genetics - Thai Chiang Mai x Kali China elite (F4).
Structure - It grows robust, compact and with broad indica leaves in its first weeks of life, to later develop a tall and large extremely vigorous sativa structure, with a strong, capricious and irregular branching, as occurs with some thai sativas.
Bouquet - Sour grapes and astringent bitter lemon in the foreground, then earthy with spicy notes of onion/garlic, and cured wood, incense, chocolate, green tea, mint and lime of classic Thai flavour, with a blackcurrant flavour lingering in the mouth as an aftertaste.
High - Moderate/high potency of excellent mood enhancing sativa qualities: clean, cerebral, active, sociable and positive, without producing paranoia or edginess. Visual distortions and pleasant physical tingling sensations. Excellent to meditate since it produces a balanced and enlightened introspection.
Terpene profile - It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: high amounts of beta myrcene and variability in the high presence of terpinolene, followed by smaller amounts of alpha pinene, beta pinene, limonene and trans ocimene. Sesquiterpenes: mainly beta-caryophyllene, followed by smaller amounts of alpha-humelene and variability in the presence of lower amounts of guaiol and bisabolol.
Growing Tip -It can easily be grown indoors with strong light intensity and with enough space for its development.
Very suitable for SOG crops due to its great yield in the main cola, or for SCROG, horizontal or network growing due to its excellent yield in the lateral branches and its vigorous reaction to pruning.
Outdoors it can be grown up to latitude 45º, both in warm weathers and in climates where the flowering can take place with cold and rains.
Outdoors and with a longer growing stage is when this hybrid develops its extreme vigor and huge yields. We recommend moderate levels of nutrients for the whole cycle.
