Orient Express. Indoor(1800w).

Hi Everyone and Ace fans

So I have 2 feminised OE seeds about a month or so old(not too sure) from seed that I plan to mother up and take cuttings for a 2.8 m/2 table under 2 x 600 hps and a single mh in the middle for a nice spectrum for them.

Anyway here's the plants

Obviously a heavily chinese influenced pheno

This one looks more Vietnamese leaning, anyone have any ideas whether this is a small or large vietnamese pheno?


I need some advice on how long to veg each particular pheno for.
Is the Chinese better for SOG and Vietnamese better for larger plants? - looking for maximum yields with minimal flower time(don't want plants going past 10 weeks) as this is not a personal grow really.

Cheers in advance and I'm super excited to grow this strain - probably more excited than any other strain I've grown.

Currently have 5 Cotton Candy's and 5 Taskenti's on the table at the moment about half way through.

Hi kiwi :)

They are indeed very chinese dominant Orient Express expressions, this pheno is very good for SOG indoors and should finish before 10 week range. Let us know if you have any doubt during the process!
 
Cheers Dubi, one is extremely chinese dominant and looks like a pure indica!.

Thanks konopenko, I think one of them is slightly more vietnamese or medium as it's double the size as the chinese pheno. Will be interesting to see the difference in yield,high,structure etc. will definitely keep the updates going once everything gets under way.
Still have to take cuts,veg etc. I really want to find the 7 weeker!

Hi kiwigreen420,

The last Orient Express feminized reproduction was made reversing a very chinese indica hash plant OE mum (4), the same OE mum we have used to produce Fatty Bubba and Rotten Panda. This mum finishes in only 7-8 weeks, your very indica phenos have good chances to take this time to finish.
 
Hi Dubi,

My OE's are in flower. I put the chinese pheno mother in the flower room 14th of June, I also put 3 medium phenos untopped in there on the 20th. I will update on the weekend.

They both look like keepers and I'm very very impressed with the chinese pheno, it flowers like a clone in seed form.

I'll be focusing on this strain from now on since I can already see superior potential, so to anyone who reads this I'll update every weekend with pictures.

Cheer's.

The difference in structure

Chinese - chinese3.jpg

Medium/Vietnamese - viet structure.jpg


The Medium pheno has a stretch of 3-4x and the chinese only has a 0.5 stretch :laughing:

I've got 15 vietnamese vegging for the next round, amazing structure on the vietnamese phenos.

Will update more often.

Cheers.
 
that chinese is a thick one! damn near perfect in structure with everything very tight and uniform. a pretty thick stalk for the size of the plant. thumbs up kiwi
 
Yeah cheers I'm thinking about 4 zips for the Chinese pheno.

You should have seen how shitty the Vietnamese clones were; they were only 6 inches switched over and look how big they are now!.

It's taken so long to get the perfect strain and I think I've found it. most potential I've seen in a long time. Bloody good job Ace!.

Hey bro. If you see this message what happened to your outdoor threads? I couldn't find them. Anyway, I did a grow myself outdoors. About a month to go on them. They said early but it's very ify if they'll be done by our summers end which is end of Sept. But what a lot of lessons and fun doing them! I did major LST. Hoping it all works out. We'll soon see. I'm not sure how to send you a message. Look for any threads I have on here and post a message. I'll check back every month to see if you replied. Have a good one eh! Boobsman :)
