Golden Tiger

Too much reading

Too much reading

Now that I read 132 pages to catch up with this thread, I have a question. What is the average stretch of the Golden Tiger strain indoors?

I know from past grows minus pot size and my light arrangement and light intensity I have 43 - 45 inches to work with. I train plants to about 12 - 15 inches before stretch. So what can I expect?

Followup question, I bought Kali China and Pakistani Chitral Kush from Ace Seeds. If I add Golden Tiger and Panama am I going to have any height problems or any height mismatches.

I'll be moving at the end of the month do my next grow won't be until end of next month.

Please help.

I'm going to be putting in a seed order soon. I have many Ace Seeds on the list. I can't find Golden Tiger fem seeds. I definitely want this in the next grow. Any help?

Have you tried Aces web site?
Just checked sold out all ready you have to be quick it seems. Herbies still have fem Golden Tiger I have used them before they are good. But nothing beets the Ace shop if your lucky enough to find them in stock.

Welcome Electric Shaman,

Kali China and PCK are both indica strains with similar flowering times and sizes so both can be grown in the same indoor space without problems.

The same for Golden Tiger and Panama, both have similar sizes, some GTs can take 1-2 weeks more to mature than Panama, but overall both sativa strains can also be grown together with great success. I wouldn't recommend you to mix sativa and indica strains in the same indoor grow unless you have a big indoor room with different spaces dedicated to different strain profiles and behaviours.

Golden Tiger can increase its size from 50 % up to 100 % in early flowering, depending on the pheno.

Golden Tiger fem is currently out of stock although we are working on a new reproduction so expect to have fresh GT fem stock in approx 3 months. You may still find GT fem stock available through retailers in case you need the seeds in short term.

Hope it helps. dubi

Thanks

Thanks

Tang and Dubi,

Thank you for the information. I'll put all that information in my research papers.

Probably the most missing peice of information missing in grow journals, recording the stretch info. I put weekly and total to date until it stops stretching. I also record the size of the canopy spread. Pictures are amazing but one can't tell how big a plant really is by pictures alone. With this info folks can gauge a plan to include it in a grow cycle better. Just my thinkin about this. ES

Hey ES,
i like a lot your approach, this kind of infos can be a great help for new growers exploring new varieties.
However the measurements are a pain to make properly, plants should grow in natural form(no training etc..). Also the internodal length and branching properties,early and final stretch measurements are part of the great useful data.

Happy to see interest in these details and in Ace varieties, it's always good to learn new things in life.

Cheers

Really glad to know more will be coming. Where I am a few of these tropical sativas take a long time to sex and that creates problems in my limited space. The feminized seeds make my growing them much easier.

This is an outdoor grow by the way. I did also do four regular GT seeds this year. They're 3 months old and only one has gone definitely female. Two of them seem like they will finally be male but I've had similar looking ones actually put out female white hairs eventually. One, that is a very different pheno that I think must be strongly Thai, has shown no signs at all. Three months old. Amazing.

Hi musigny23,

I usually can identify the sex of my GTs after 1 month and half of life, please check carefully their preflowers, with a trained eye i think you should be able to identify the sex of your GTs at this point.

Lovely ULMW

Very sexy Golden Tiger you have flowering!
Her leaves have the deep green Malawi color but at the same time showing a quite Thaish shape.

Best wishes for the flowering!

 

[ULMW]

Thanks Dubi. Am interested in how she comes out. Am guessing a short malawi dom structure and perhaps some Thai on late flowering bud tips ..foxtails? Will be my first one of the GT second edition releases to grow. Looking forward to it. Already enjoying her managable size and structure . Much smaller than ThaiChi was.

Golden Tiger (feminized) today.

Finally a female of the old F! seeds. It took a while to show and it stayed a bit too long in the starter pot.

Three CT standard seed starts that are 3 months old and still not certain male or female. The one on the right in the back is a very odd pheno that I suspect must be Thai.

My other GT feminized, obviously a different pheno from the other one. Thai leaning? The other I would say is Malawi leaning.

 

[dubi]

Hi musigny23

Your different Golden Tiger females look very healthy, well developed and quite uniform. They are structurally Malawi influenced, will need to wait until flowering to evaluate how much thai influence they will show later.

Keep up the good cares and they will get huge, producing also a huge harvest of overpowering trippy sativa flowers

Hi musigny23,

Well, with GT and others crossed with Meao Thai, there seem to be a lot of what could be called "uncertain preflowers". Is it a pollen sac? Is it a calyx without a pistil? Is it just a pointy leaf sprouting from the node that looks like a calyx? I've made decisions only to find out later that, nope it was the other and not what I thought. They can take their time giving a definite sign like a well defined pollen sac or pistil.

That makes it harder to commit to transplanting to a permanent spot in my limited area. Also it can mean keeping them in a pot too long waiting for confirmation which can affect their growth hormones. So feminized seeds are huge help even if I often prefer standard seed phenotype variety.

With standart seed it is easier to make your own seeds. By doing so you might make so much seeds you can sow "as many as you want".
This way you can compensate for having to wait longer to repot the plants.

Kind regards,

Siever

That's true of course, but I have space limitations that make keeping males all the way to pollen collection difficult. It will be interesting to see how the feminized plants turn out compared to the standard ones.

Hello growers. My apologies for the picturing being rotated sideways but you still get the picture. This beauty was the top off one of my previous photos. The seedling was put straight into flower. The plant reached 1.5m tall and was 480gm dry after harvest. I’m about to attempt to reveg the last of the plant by carefully digging it out of the soil and putting under lights. If anyone has successfully attempted this before I’d love to hear how you went. Any tips would be appreciated. We also had some really cool weather (almost frost) just before harvest and saw some beautiful Purple colas come out it a couple of phenos

 

[dubi]

Hi crazy shovel

Nice cola and congrats on your recent Golden Tiger harvest.
480 gm from a single female that was flowered straight from seed is a really nice yield
If the female you are trying to reveg survives from take her out from the soil (use root hormones to help in the process) then you should be able to reveg your GT by providing her indoors with a 18/6 or longer photoperiod.

Best wishes!

Coming along nicely. Photo from Lights out.
