Hello and thanks for the welcome. These Ace genetics have done Stella this summer even tho there hasent been reliable drinks for them out in the bush plot ,the collection has gone along real well.
I also have Zamal hash and Bangi seed plants plus Snowmoon clone going.
I am happy to be here to hopefully show what these Aces up my sleeve will do in my humid ,hot, coastal lowland subtropical bush grow space. Just for me and fun/friends and some medical grow stuff as well.
all the best

Hi Lamy..well the 1st Zamaldelica has the thinnest blades (Zamal?) the 2nd is the next narrowest blade width and is tallest plant with longest internode distance (Thai?) and the 3rd the fattest leaves relative to others .(Malawi?) anyways they are all quite different in expression. should be fun

Update this sativa outdoor grow...dry summer has kept things smaller but some phenos exell. Hand watering once a week. .

First plant is Zamal Hash then Zamaldelica (Malawi pheno) then Golden Tiger then two sativa garden photos in the late afternoon sun.

Hi Bushbandit,

It's a pitty that your plants didn't received enough water in early flowering, they were very healthy in their growing stage, and with enough water and such light intensity and hot temps the flowering would have been explosive.

Guess you are growing guerrilla style .... we have the same problems here with the dry soil, lack of rain and too hot temps when growing outdoors guerrilla style in summer time.

Try to water your outdoor plants every 3-4 days if you have the chance and add liquid organic fertilizers to improve the flowering. Best wishes for the upcoming weeks!

Hello Dubi and thanks for chipping in, appologies for being slow to post back.. Yes ..lack of rain in early/mid summer has been corrected by a late season deluge where it rained at least 10 inches in a few days. X cyclone rain depression. There was also 4 to 5 inches a week before. So the later flowering GTs and Zamaldelicas + later flowering Zamal Hash + a congo have survived everthing and boomed. Yeild is looking impresive as new growth flourishes toward late flower. No mold to speak of , just beautiful sweet sativa smells and chunkiness. Thanks 4 the all the work done by everyone ti bring these piwerful and unique genetics to us.. appreciate it..

Its an amazing joy walking throught a sativa garden in full flower with plants so healthy in general and so muxh character and strength. Its a secert garden of eden ! ..plants have just done their thing...with mostly organic ammendments.

Here is less talk and more progress..these shots were taken over a week ago just before the big wet.
1st pic is the sativa garden 2nd is a zamaldelica - Zamal pheno i think...very carrot. Strong plant and still flowering and putting on serious weight. 3rd pic is a tall earlier flowering fruity Congo. The 4th and 5th pics are an early flowering Zamaldelica with fruity chucky buds. Most of the congo and all the early Zamal were cut just before the big rains.





.]

Next two pics there is a Snowmoon clone which is a great plant and mold resists great. Nice purple on the colas with warm temps still.
The last 3 pics is 2 Zamalhash plants. The 1st two pics is an early flowering pheno and was cut before rain The other one is a taller ,bigger later maturing beast and is still going strong.

Hi Bushbandit,

Looks like the recent rains are helping in the last stage of flowering, i'm glad they are showing good mold resistance and that you already have harvested Congo and a few early Zamaldelica phenos. Snow Moon clone looks nice as well. Lovely guerrilla spot.

Best wishes for the last days of flowering!

Hi Dubi..your work with these selections is awesome for my situation and area. But my interest is also to create CBD/THC plants with strong medicinal profiles bread for local subtropical environs. With recent medical marijuana laws being past, providing legal access to medical weed in my country and state. ( not recreational herb as yet).
The world needs these unique and vigorous , highly potent strains, worked into powerful CBD/THC outdoor and highly resistant plants.
With this in mind all off my ACE outdoor strains this season have been branch seeded with the only male I had. An early flowering, short statue Cannatonic male from Resin seeds. It's an untested male. I'm a novice pollen thrower but ya never know.
The Ace/Resin cross will bare fruit next year as it's been very productive in the look and quantity of seed in a modest way.
Big medical potent outdoor strains made for subtopics. ...which suits Ace genetics alot !

On a side note I have run clones of a very nice, non ace cbd/thc strain (spanish ??) -- Dieseltonic in the guerrilla patch alongside ace gear this season. And this sativa/cannatonic cross did well. Anyway.. hopin for....Grow it big, healthy and outdoors for these Ace crosses !!

Before a few pics..thanks for the wonderful cannabis plants man.!!

First two pics of the earlier of the two GTs. Bushier and more leaf than the thai pheno. It's been cut after pics were taken. Smell is Suttle with perfumes and flowers in there. I go out to Bush hide tomorrow to take down dried GT. Been away on holidays for a week which is how long they been up.
Pics 3 and 4 are of a tall , lanky Congo fem that is tropical sweet foral, 2nd pick.
Pic 5 is the exploding of surrounding Lantana flowers after big late summer rains. Lantana a friend of the canna gardener and foe to the bush. It's a pest but great to hide in. And very Fragrant and impenetrable. Easy to break down and good mulch.. Most of all, it grows in the sunny spots...
But ya can't smoke it !!!

More photo's.

First two pics of fem Zamaldelicas still shooting pistols. Thinner stemmed than the thick trucks on the Gts ( that influence maybe?) But very strong and flexible. Big thick buds and long colas forming ...silver resin coated. Awsome. Highly resistant. 5 inches of humid rain one week then the next week 10 ++ inches a week or so later . Robust and big and strong. Fruggin beautiful ...just consistent strong untroubled healthy growth ....great leaf/calyx ratios. Very Suttle but potent aromas.

Had a 2 day break from smoking...tried a vape of an earlier Zamaldelica pheno. ..One month since cut...I was not expecting to be so high...wow.!! Had some nice same age, Snowmoon later , to give some body to the experience.

OK. .pic 3,4,5 are of late flowering fem Gt. Sweet Lemony smells all the way. Bit of a tamed monster with being tied down. Very vigorous.
All of the plants have been either tied down to stakes or topped. For reasons.

Final Ace plants cut soon. Stay tuned.

On the Gts trunks , it should read ( Thai influence maybe?) ..haven't worked out how to edit.

Very nice patch you've got there; the Zams and GTs look amazing, well done!

Hi there Deepwaterdude, thanks a lot. It's 1st year in this spot and it's very productive and we'll hidden. Has Creek flat soils and great sun and shade through hot summers...happy.
The Zamaldelicas have been the best performers for this situation. Fantastic.! The Zamalhash plants (short and long flowering) needed a little more attention but suffered due to ferts or not having enough water in early flower.
Gts suffered too a bit. But bounced to finish well. Nice yield too.

Hi Bushbandit,

We have just started with the CBD project in collaboration and with the approval of Resin Seeds. We will be using the CBD 1 and CBD 5 parental plants we selected from seed with the aim to produce a line with a stabilized and very high CBD chemotype (25 % CBD, 1% of THC, CBD:THC ratio of 25:1).

We are also in the process to cross our best parental plants of our classic ACE strains with the rich CBD parental plants in order to produce THC:CBD F1 hybrids of mixed chemotype.

The pure CBD line will be mainly for medicinal use, for those users that want to get the benefits from a true breeding high CBD/ low THC line, with very little or none psychoactive effects, while the mixed THC:CBD F1 hybrids will be for those interested to try versions of our classic strains with not so strong psychoactivity from THC and a higher medicinal value from CBD.

The reproduction is just starting as we speak so it will take time to test all the new CBD lines. Hopefully next year we can come out with some results.

Thanks for the updates of your nice guerrilla spot Snow Moon, Zamaldelica and Golden Tiegr look great!

Hi Dubi...back with a few photos and a wrap up after a successful season.
The CBD/THC lines you develop will be on my menu list for sure. Had great success this year with my Dieseltonic clones...mold hardy..nice. Id imagine ACE CBD lines will be amazing in outdoor humid environment. I have enough crosses with my efforts this season to explore for years what may be waiting in there medically and otherwise.

Well time to wrap this season up. Very happy to have had a great year after failure last time before. And mediocre years previous doing a few small plant outdoor grows. But we get better and need to raise the bar. Luck and finding a good/awesome grow spot helps. Then its your own hard work for best results.
This year I had luck and an awesome spot. Blew my mind one day tending the plants in a bush peace setting... then....kareumpff !!!
Turns out there was a medium speed head on crash nearby on the main road. Then the TV chopper turns up over head, hovering up in the sky above. Me skirting under a tree checkingbthings out intently.... All subsided eventually back to peace and serenity . Lucky the spot is in a sea of grean.
Lucky to to have a beaut spot , with all things being equal . All aspects are close to ideal. For the guerilla growers know what that means...could be :
Stealth - in accessing spot/site itself/strain manipulation and selection. Manipulation of local bush to add stealth.
Access - more than one way in. More than one car parking and access point. Secure drop off point for bigger itens.Good brush foliage under foot and at eye line..
.etc etc.....good sun the shade ratios.... and soil.

With this in mind I say results are in somewhat. Some strains have a 3 month cure..other less time curing..
WoW ..these some amazing genetics bred with love and passion. I and other folks thankyou for providing these to us Dubi.

1st photo is a Zamaldelica top from lankier plant..this has more smell than others...citrus in there. Unfazed plant of vigor and beautiful highly calyx flowers. 2 month cure. Vaping it gives a mind ultering but clear effect thats expansive and engaging. Strong and getting stronger.

2nd is Golden Tiger longer flowering big lanky pheno. Medium Airy buds. Strong tasty Lemony aroma. Mind altering strong up experince that can be social and positive. Good for making music. Longlasting . Like other ACE strains ive tried - I can feel and know what premium effect feels like. Laid joints on mates and it has been said the strongest weed I've had. Rave review for Zamaldelica too.
