For me, the best indica strain from Ace was the Bubba hash, but it is no longer on the list....

Congrats on your Killer A5 Haze harvest StickyBandit 
those colas looked like dangerous artillery ! Bubbas Hash is indeed a great indica recommendation for your wife! Hopefully you still can find some packs from our retailers.
Looking super healthy and well developed @JustGrowing420 As always in your garden.
All the best for the flowering stage!

Thank you @dubi! Indeed it's been about three months since the harvest, and I've been trying them here and there. This past weekend I decided to write down some notes.Wow @MrFancyPlants looks excellent, great flower/leaf ratio as well!
As far as leafiness, I use it as a relative term. Some plants just look more "sparse" or "exposed" (longer internodes, longer petioles, smaller or narrower leaves, etc), while others have more robust foliage for a more "bunched up" appearance.
KA5H2
Stretchy, floppy (needed lots of support), less leafy phenotype.
Stored at 50F, 60% RH.
Method: joint, 0.63g
Smell: primarily woody, earthy; also subtly incensey, cucumber/melon; not too strong
Appearance: spongy, but dense
Taste: mild, smooth, somewhat sweet, reminiscent of fresh cut dry wood
Effect:
Develops softly and gradually. I begin to feel it about halfway through the joint. After 5 minutes, it starts to come on strong. Heady, not much body effect. Functional; thought process not too affected. After 10 minutes, my head is starting to feel airy, like a balloon being inflated. Focus is becoming harder to maintain. The inflated feeling is moving own into the chest. The mind feels relaxed. At this point I went out into the yard to do some physical work. After about an hour and a half, there is a pleasant feeling of well-being and content.
Overall, I would say the potency of this plant was roughly on par with the better of my Honduran females - not overpowering, functional, pleasant. Nice daytime smoke. Honduras has a stronger stimulating component to its effect, but this is highly subjective, of course.
KA5H1
More robust, leafy phenotype.
Initially overdried; stored at 50F, 45-50% RH
Method: joint, 0.65g
Smell: earthy, skunky, with a floral/petal note; slightly woody
Appearance: dense, hard nuggets
Taste: earthy, spicy
Effect:
Starts in the chest. After 5 minutes, everything is slowing down. A pleasant warm feeling is spreading through the body. Feels subjectively more "potent" - i.e. "heavy" - than KA5H2. More "out-of-phase" feeling. Body us relaxed, and the mind is very unfocused. Hard to finish thoughts. Observation "in-the-moment" seems to be the preferred mode of interaction with the world. The brain fills the gaps in understanding (due to this "attentionless perception") with fantastical and outlandish mosaics of numerous, quick-firing, short thoughts. Very good for watching a trippy movie.
She's not the strongest (level of mental impairment) weed I've ever smoked, but among the strongest I've grown. Probably on par with the stronger of the two Bangi Hazes I grew, and similar to Panama, but much kinder, without edginess or paranoia, more relaxing to the body.
I am currently growing both of these again from clone, plus the rest of the 6-pack. There are 2 more "leggy" phenos and 2 more compact ones. I'll post more pics of all 6 for comparison when the new ladies get far enough into flower.
Happy growing!
I’ve been seeing some cold nights recently and I think my ka5h has responded by increasing pistils. It’s coming along and I’m really hoping to get some decent bud from her. I had some space in the top of the 5 gallon container and put two semi rotten watermelons the size of baseballs in there. Tossed ina banana peel and covered everything with soil. Hopefully this will give some slow release Nutes.

Yeah, looks like Cal-Mag/PH issues.
You shouldn't water to run-off in soil, it will overhydrate the bud and leaf and cause root rot.
Peace

That's really nice, what is the background on the 'Swazi Killer'?THE MYTHICAL A5 HAZE MEETS OUR MALAWI KILLER TO CREATE OUR MOST POWERFUL, TRIPPY AND NARCOTIC HYBRID
Here at ACE Seeds we’ve done it again with Killer A5 Haze, creating a monstrous new sativa hybrid that has the potential to produce the most potent plants, with the highest amount of THC in our catalogue.
A5 Haze is one of the rarest mothers (and probably the most powerful one) belonging to the family of Dutch elite clones of Haze hybrids that Nevil Schoenmakers developed at the end of the 80s and that are still preserved to this day. This Northern Lights #5/Haze A mother is characterised by its extremely trippy and devastating potency, high production and by its incensed, organic and meaty aromas of authentic Dutch 'Old School' Haze with a greater influence from ancient Colombian sativas. The rarity of this A5 Haze mother is due to Nevil losing the Haze A male very early on, meaning that seeds were never produced in commercial quantities using this Haze A male.
With Killer A5 Haze our main goal was to create a sativa dominant hybrid that would maintain (and even exceed) the extreme potency, high vigour and high yields of the A5 mother, and we have achieved this by hybridising her with the killer phenotypes of our powerful Malawi, with which we have increased the THC content even further, reaching as high as 30% (the upper limit that cannabis plants can produce). At the same time we have considerably increased resin production and trichome size, and we have reduced the long flowering time of the A5 Haze to something more moderate (not only indoors, but also in its faster reaction to flowering outdoors) without having to introduce indica genetics. Despite its great sativa vigour and its very high production, Killer A5 Haze grows with a contained and manageable size, making it our sativa dominant hybrid with the highest production per m2.
In Killer A5 Haze we find 4 phenotypes:
- Haze dominant pheno: This phenotype is the one that shows the greatest Colombian sativa influence from the Haze A male, producing huge and beautiful colas with an excellent flower/leaf ratio, which mature with elegant and delicate reflowerings. Woody and incensed aromas of pure Haze. The resin production of this pheno is good, but not as extreme as in the following 3 phenotypes. Flowering time: 75-90 days.
- NL/Haze pheno: This pheno shows a greater indica influence from the Northern Lights, and therefore a smaller size, faster flowering and lower flower/leaf ratio. It is also the most faithful to the characteristics of the original A5 Haze mother, producing rounded and very resinous flowers with a silver appearance, which produces characteristic horn-shaped reflowerings at the end of flowering. Incensed, meaty (liver) and organic (petals of decaying flowers) aromas. Flowering time: 66-80 days.
- Haze/Malawi pheno: Sativa dominant and well balanced pheno in terms of displaying characteristics from both Haze A and Malawi parents. It produces huge, very dense colas, with an excellent flower/leaf ratio, with the gleaming resin coverage of our Malawi. It produces slight reflowerings in its final stages, although not as pronounced as in the first 2 phenos. Incense and woody Haze aromas, with the oily and resinous background of Malawi. Flowering time: 75-85 days.
- Silverish Malawi pheno: Monstrous sativa phenotype with a greater Malawi influence. Incredibly high flower to leaf ratio, very high production, with the classic huge trichomes and ovaries of our Malawi, and with a prodigious resin production that lends it an aggressive silverish appearance when mature, bringing the characteristics of Malawi Killer phenotypes to very extreme levels that have rarely been reached before. Flowering time: 75-85 days.
Killer A5 Haze is one of the first joint projects between ACE Seeds and Yo Sammy, a member of the small group of growers in South Holland who have preserved the elite clones of Nevil’s Haze hybrids for almost 3 decades. These Dutch elite 'old school' Haze clones were the fundamental parentals in the Netherlands of the 90s, used to develop the best Haze hybrids in History. Unfortunately, the best sativa qualities of these legendary Haze hybrids, and their unique incense terpene profile that led them to be globally recognised as the best sativa hybrids were diluted and brutalised (in particular over the last 2 decades), constantly mixed with indica or skunk genetics in an attempt to shorten their flowering time.
With these new projects, our priority will be to try to raise the bar of Sativa Haze breeding, by crossing these old elite Dutch Haze clones with elite parentals of our most worked sativa varieties, and also in organoleptic terms, experimenting with different types of incense profiles by hybridising elite parents in this regard.
We’d especially like to thank Karma for rescuing the A5 Haze mother, and for offering it to us for the development of Killer A5 Haze.
Special thanks to all the growers who helped us to test Killer A5 Haze for the last year and a half: Syd Barret, Spaventa, beanz, deepwaterdude, Buddler, Neiko and many others

BOUQUET: Dutch old school dark incensed Haze aroma, meaty (liver), with a strong organic/rotten background, with final touches of decomposing flower petals, resin and cured wood.
HIGH: Extraordinarily powerful, complex, profound and long lasting. Psychedelic beginning that completely changes visual, auditory and tactile perception, catapulting the psyche to new dimensions where there seems to be no tangible reality. As the effect develops, it produces an uncontrollable hilarity, later becoming more introspective and physical, producing strong dissociation of mind and body, and a strong final narcosis similar to opiates. Recommended only for the most intrepid and experienced psychonauts. It can cause panic and/or complete physical debilitation to users with low tolerance or without experience with strong sativas of this caliber. Nothing will be ever the same after trying Killer A5 Haze.
GROWING TIPS
Indoors, outstanding results can be achieved in terms of quality and production with a correct and abundant feeding and strong light intensity. A sativa hybrid that’s very well suited to SCROG culture due to its excellent branching and lateral production.
Outdoors, it can be cultivated up to 43º latitude, although it is a variety that works best in climates with hot summers and warm, dry autumn weather, due to the density and size that its flowers can reach.
We recommend high levels of nutrients for the whole cycle.
This KA5H is trying to finish. I think she really feels the ever increasing cold air now and is working on plumping up. The mild smell is now something close to a cross between citrus and mint. At first mild bergamot came to mind then the mint hit me, also mildly. The citrus does remind me of Malawi. Incidentally last night I was hitting one year old outdoor Malawi, grown In The exact same spot and harvested just about a year ago. It aged well and I enjoyed it far more now than when young.
Any ideas as to pheno on this one ?

My KA5H is starting to bulk up now. She is in week 9 since flipping the lights and is on a 11/13 schedule. It was about 2 weeks before I saw any flowers so I'll call it week 7. Here are a few pics.
Trying to be patient here but I cant hardly wait until its done! Until then I'll just keep enjoying Ace's Panama!

You need to Protect her for 2-3 Nights. Cold snap will be followed with warmer temps. Good Luck!!
I'm not to good at aromas but she smells like dirty socks, you know the ones that have been waiting to be washed for a couple days.
killer a5 micro scrog 3 L. This plant takes at maximum 0.5 ml bio bizz grow in veg, and up to 4 grow 4 bloom in flower. Never seen anything like it. So sensitive to nitrogen in veg and then increasing to max dose in flower. Smells mildly cheesey, floral and salty.

@spigolaro how are the pistils looking? It hard for me to see with the yellowish pics. Are they getting brown yet. Mine are slowly turning brown and the leaves are starting to get brown on the edges. Im not sure if I should up the nutes a little or just let her finish as is.

Hi dude, you're absolutely right tomorrow I'll take some pictures with the lights off so you can better see the plant at what state it is. However I still have all the transparent trichomes, there is still nothing amber but I think there is still not much left for the fateful day of the beheading ahahaha.
Its no big deal I was just curious about the pistils. Those missiles are looking good.
Listening to "Cover Me" from Luciano.
Wondering how those protected Ladies did during the Cold Snap?

Well I took the advice and wrapped her up for the freeze. She fared well even after the wind took it down the hill. Minor damage and no more freezing temperatures anytime soon. Trichs are milky and I saw one tan so maybe I got a 75 day phenotype. Anyone care to guess which one this is it’s 60 days since I first saw buds for
