Thanks Zitz,

The first initial selection of the ethiopian sativa plants was done indoors, the seed production and testing of the offspring too.

The main parental plants we use to produce this first ethiopian release were also tested outdoors past season to check how they perform outdoors in a non tropical climate (37ºN latitude).

Hope it helps with your doubts.

Thanks for the reply Dubi, my experience with the strain matches the Ace description - its one of the clearest sativas with no raciness or heart pounding as can be found with Durban and Malawi individuals, as you know.

I read the strain originally came from the tea growing area in Tanzania - and the buds do have a slight tea aroma when cured.

I'l add this for anyone interested in growing this strain outdoors - the African seeds original description of her doing well in cooler climates is correct - also good mold resistance.

In the ground with ample space she will yeild more than most sativa's due to her wide xmas tree structure - really long lower limbs without being gangly like some Thai/S.E Asian strains.

Also prepare to give the buds a long cure to get the most out of them - like many landrace it can burn a bit hot until it is thoroughly cured.

since it doesn't have a heart racy effect, it reminds me of the description for the laos luang prabang, that seems like a good cross.

ahhhhhh I couldn't find "Ethiopian highland" with a search but Ace still has. My bad Zitz lol {rep comment}...

This one is gonna concretely go on my list when I order, I'm wondering maybe another recommendation for similar non-racey but straight soaring uplifting motivation... I'm thinking Oriental Express, congo, Ethiopian, and some Nirvana Maui Wowie.... The congo #3 x Ethiopian sounds solid

Reading again, Tikal, Guatemala are probably my best bets too, might have to wait on the Maui Wowie, and just go for all Ace gear anyway.

Sounds like another one I will get. I think it goes without saying, but this strain leaves you pretty well normal after touchdown? The clear, non racy sativas all seem to have this desirable effect.

As I get older I want a high that does not leave me feeling foggy after I come down. Do not have the energy to push thru the 'fog' anymore.

Sounds like a good cross to me, Im not familiar with the Laos, but would was under the impression it would be similar to Thai (exciting/racy), so that is interesting that it has a calmer effect.

Hi Dr.Y I saw your comment but cannot respond yet (nearly 50 posts).

If you do any crosses with those I think Eth x Orient express would make a nice hybrid, the eth improving mold resistance and the O.E improving flower time, just a thought...

I feel the same lol, and yes the Eth wears off clean - can leave you in a dreamy state but not fatigued like (some) hybrids.

This strain sounds very good to me, it fits all my criteria
I read the description and my head went bing bing bing bing haha
Will it still be available next year or do you have to get them soon?
anyway if not there a plenty of nice Ethiopia hybrids
I'm interested in the Congo and zamal/Mauritius crosses
Hope some gonna be available next season
Can you tell me which pheno of zamaldelica was used?

Same

Clear non racy sativas is what I'm mainly looking for

Greetings Dubi and ACE SEEDS , am really impressed with your works and will be soon making an order to try a few of your amazing sativas this year. I have been growing Ethiopian both in Ethiopia for 7 years and outside of Ethiopia for a couple of grows now indoors. So If I can be of any help in any way, am pleased to meet your acquaintance and strengthen one another in these garden works.
I look forward to hearing from you and perhaps sharing a few photos as my grow comes along with the Ethiopian I have now. Have a great day and thanks again for saving the seeds that save the breeds. More Life!!!
