Howdy ACE fans, thanks for stopping by! I've been hanging out around here for the past few months; reading, studying, learning all I can and trying to decide where to begin. It was a tough decision, everything looks great, but I've gotta start somewhere so...
A brief intro--I was a pretty active around here a few years ago but life changes and such and I had to get away for a bit. Recently, my wife and I sold her condo and are looking for a house where we can set up a nice permanent garden. The market sucks around here right now so we're holed up in a small apartment until something comes along. In the meantime I rigged up a small LED tent in our closet. I grow organic but all the totes of my own supersoil are out in my storage shed so I'm using store-bought organic soils and such. It's working ok for now but I'm looking forward to getting my own tools back.
I've always run regular seeds but feminized seems the way to go for now. My seed starting/veg area is a single LED with a reflector sitting under a desk in the spare bedroom. (essentially, I don't have a separate veg area) I'm giving my seeds about a week of 24/0 to get them started and then they go into the 12/12 tent. I want to start with some good all-around smoke for our everyday use. So after changing my mind about a thousand times I ended up with Tikal and Congo.
Comments on Tikal like these from dubi caught my eye:
And then there's this classic:
The Congo description from the ACE website, "Premium quality clean, positive and energetic effect, perfect for an open minded, creative and active life style." Sounds great to me!
And some Congo comments:

Comments on Tikal like these from dubi caught my eye:
...But i also prefer the clear and Tikal uplifting effects over the Panama. And although Panama is in average clearly stronger in potency over Tikal, surprisingly the Tikal cannabinoid analysis are showing higher THC contents in Tikal samples and lesser in Panama, both strains containing interesting CBG amounts too.
If you are curious to explore more the Tikal line, i would recommend you to check the new Tikal fem we have just released: it has much better terpenes, consistency and overall better quality than previous Tikal standard (regular) releases. It's also in our Tikal Breeders Pack where you will find the best expressions that this great sativa hybrid has to offer...
...but i still prefer Tikal's effect over Panama or over any other central american sativa of our catalog. Maybe green Panama phenos have such desirable effect like Tikal.
Komanche never uses internet, but he's always happy when i comment him about the good results that many growers are having with his strain
And then there's this classic:
Picked up a cola on it's 9th week and my stoner friends and I all agreed this is some seriously cool sativa, I'll post a real smoke report in a few other weeks but it's fair to say this weed is a keeper, the high is euphoric, makes you want to do stuff, you can be super blasted and still be functional if the giggles don't get the best of you! The smell is superb, you could launch a perfume brand out of these aromas, and then again it wasn't even cured!!
Here's a small bit of the last nug I finished this morning :[URL=https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=64625&pictureid=1539709&thumb=1]View Image[/url]
Happy xmas everyone!!
Oh god, well maybe not so functional, this is tikal not congo my bad, wish I could delete the post
The Congo description from the ACE website, "Premium quality clean, positive and energetic effect, perfect for an open minded, creative and active life style." Sounds great to me!
And some Congo comments:
...Congo release remains with the same genetic background since 2008-2009 and i'm very happy with how it works.
As you said, the effect it's really positive, social, euphoric, but at the same time is not anxious .... feel good weed!
I appreciate a lot these kind of sativa qualities in hybrids.
Wish you enjoy it a lot!
