Hey BigH,
You know im judging pics instead of strains so there's no way to be 100% sure that this is an actual A5 hybrid but the pics mentioned are the best resembling pics of an A5 dom strain i've seen since i grew the original.
Its not just the shape and structure of the pistils, which seem to be to be exactly like Haze A hybrids, check out the AG13 and you will see the likings between these two, but its the whole plant structure, specially shape of calyxes and resin.
Keep in mind that this is a A5 hybrid, not the original. The white OG is clearly present.
So the main reason why she doesn't look as sativa as you would have thought is very simple bh, the A5 itself is a 50% haze hybrid. Crossing it to the OG reduces the sat genes.
Tbh i am surprised that she is still very sat looking after breeding the OG into her. Of course you would have to get the right pheno, being the pheno in #62.
The first 5 pictures in post#61 could also be an AG13 hybrid, she grows similar cola's but the next 3 made it clear.
Pic 9&10 (#63) look more like a C5 hybrid, more darker orange coloured pistils and lime green type buds.
Pic 11,12 & 13 (#63) are again typical A5 looking but very leafy and a bit early in flower to judge.
Again, my judgement is made pure visual, and these picture samples are most probably grown by various growers in various rooms under various conditions.
The pics that most resemble the A5 imho really resemble my experiences with her, that means those pics are very reminiscent of my memory of her.
So my guess is by checking these pics there are true A5 traits to be found in the line and that is something i have been looking for for over 15 years now, imagine hey... finally found the traits im looking for, never gave up although they were times that i really doubted shed still be around....
So brother as you might know, i'm stoked!
Here's a nice thread for you bh:
