Which strain from ACE seeds should I choose

I am looking to plant some ace seeds in my next grow.

What matters to me:
1. Must be feminized
2. Must be 100% sativa
3. Must be active, energetic and social! Basically weekend wake'n'bake choice that will leave me fully functional to do stuff with clear head and meet friends, clean house etc. I am worried that some choices might be too trippy to do that. So which one will be best.

Rest really doesn't matter to me, so any flowering time, and I think I can control height with topping and light cycle (11/13 from seed).

hello leyus and welcome to the forums :)

this is a very subjective issue... but if I were looking for a 100% sativa, feminized that had an energetic type of effect, I'd probably get the orient express.

imo, the variety should express its most potent up-high results if grown outdoors in a good climate; so indoor I dunno if it will be too strong that it may turn some people off.

and if it turns out way too strong, you can always smoke less of it... one hit and wait 15 minutes and see if that does the trick.

maybe someone else with more experience with ACE chips in.

good luck!

peace

Thanks man but orient express got like only 60% sativa in it. I prefer 100% sativa. I already have some hybrids chosen for my next grow.
 
Have you e-mailed ACE directly? Luis is always quick to respond, in my experience. Hopefully, you'll also get some good direction from the members around here.

I'm not sure of your motivations, but I wouldn't completely ignore a strain only because it's not labeled "100% sativa". Using bombadil.360's suggestion as an example, I also found Orient Express to be pretty social smoke with very little, if any, disorienting or "hangover" effects. I don't have much experience with most of ACE's more clean and energetic strains, so any further suggestions I might have would just be conjecture.

There is a million posts in the Ace forum on all their strains. Your best to look and check all the grow and smoke reports first before you choose. Haze strains is really what you want but they can be a long grow inside and a small yield without the proper setup and knowledge so I would read up and ask questions.

Good Luck,

Undomesticated - Good idea. But I will do that closer to my grow, no point in e-mailing him now when I got one grow going so next one is months away. By the time I will be ready to grow they might have some new landrace so I better wait. This is just general research. Also good point about orient express.

Painfull - yes there is a lot but it is actually much less then about some other strains, simply for one reason not many people grow sativa dominant or pure sativa strains exactly because of long flowering time and other difficulties (height, amount of light needed). Personally I can deal with it and I don't mind small yield. I am not a heavy smoker. There is lots about indica strains everywhere :D So after some reading I thought I ask, I mean in the end it might be useful for some other people and the more information on landraces we have the better.

I understand, but I don't think it would hurt if you sent him an e-mail now and also told him that your grow is a ways out. He might be able to tell you what they're working on pushing out within your time frame and if it would be suitable to your needs. At least, he has offered similar information to me when I've inquired.

Good luck, either way; I hope you find what you're looking for.

Dubi has a sticky call "Strain descriptions" which is dedicated to explaining most of the available strains offered with detailed information. Maybe Dubi will stop by and offer his thoughts.

Panama or Golden Tiger since you're only looking for fems. Too bad you don't run regs or I would have said Double Thai hands down. Hazes are also out as they cause daze :biggrin:. I would recommend one of Aces Haze/Thai strains they offer a lot of energetic/clean head effect if you get more of a Thai sided pheno. I recommended Golden Tiger because it is weaker then Aces Malawi and is crossed with a elite Thai. Most of the Golden Tigers come out more on the Thai side so you don't have to worry about it being too trippy. Panama is very social but not much in the way of a energetic feeling. Although I pulled mine at week 16, maybe 13 weeks might be more energetic. Sativas are really based off of harvest time. The earlier you harvest a Sativa the more energetic it will be.

Bangi haze...dunno if it is feminzed tho...but short flowering time and very very energetic....think this is all you looking for if you can go with regular seeds mate

Can't go regular at the moment. Not enough room to plant all my dream strains this way :( Got to go feminized to go full 8 strains and harvest them all. If I go regular I will have slightly bigger not 12/12 from seed but 4 will be out most likely and will have smaller choice.

Maybe it is worth sending e-mail regarding some of the regular seeds they got becoming feminized. Although as I said I got one growth just started now so this one is months away at best. Most likely longer. So no rush. Opened to opinions, then I will do some more research and send e-mail closer to planting date.
 
You might also want to try looking at some of the seedbanks ACE distributes to, if you haven't already. They usually have a different selection in stock than ACE themselves might have. Also, miris mentioned Congo reg... There's a fem version of that available from ACE. Congo is supposed to be energetic and, I think, has some similar genetics to Bangi Haze, so that could be a good possibility.

I totally understand why you would want only 100 % sativa - so often you can notice even 5 % indica in the genetics. But keep in mind the indica in Orient Express (China Yunnan) is quite a special plant, often described as the missing link between indica en sativa, so the influence might not be as bad as you think. I really think OE is your best bet if you are limiting yourself to fems.

Zamaldelica is said to have no burnout effect. Some fems at seedboutique are available. Panama is less heavy than malawi or golden tiger. Also the new haze females with 20%indica sound good. Purple haze malawi when back in stock. My favorites are a malawi and the tigers but i dont mind the heavy effects. I want it to be next year already lol.

I don't know which seedbanks they supply to. Congo sounds really good so far I will read more about it.

You definitely sparked my interest with this one. Sounds amazing. I might replace one of my hybrids in next grow with this. I got still months to decide so I will do good research on each strain on my list, this usually removes some of them. I should have free space for OE.

Zamaldelica was my first thought but some people claim it is so racy that it can be terrifying.

Welcome leyus, and thank you all for your great recommendations :)

100 % sativa, active, energetic, social effect, in feminized .... i think the best choices are Zamaldelica fem, Purple Haze x Malawi fem, Green Haze x Malawi fem, Panama fem (green phenos) ....

And although not 100 % sativa, you may also consider Orient Express fem, Tikal fem or Haze x Kali China limited edition.

Hope it helps!

Thanks man! I have still room for 2 plants in my next grow so I might go one from your first recommendation and Orient Express since it sounds rly interesting. I will go do some research on those since so far I only read about Zamaldelica and Panama ! Thanks again!
