Kaskadian, I'm very interested in your indoor grow. I would like to switch my indoor grow room over to a mother room. Any information you gain with this grow, please share. I'm sure a few others will try her indoors as well. I have only ever kept one plant over the winter. It had it's own bedroom, but light scheduling didn't work out very well. With needing things out of the room at various times the light cycle was interrupted frequently. I wish you the best my friend. Peace

Good stuff. I notice in the pictures the flowers are made up of mini 'foxtails' not one solid 'bud'. I've noticed that in many landrace and Middle Eastern strains. It's a cool feature. Even though I consider Lebanese 'hashplants' I don't consider them Indicas because of this tendency. And because they're used to make hash. Leaves can be quite narrow.
In some ways the foxtails are more efficient for making hashish then thick buds. Because the entire surface of the foxtail is exposed. They break down faster so you don't want to thrash as hard as you can with an Afghan. I'm curious about info on hash making with this Lebanese. Micron size of the resin glands, are they sticky or dry, etc.
There's a good thread in the Landrace section about Lebanese with lots of great info. Recent pictures and comments, especially good stuff about Real Seed Company's Lebanese. I think it's very similar. Lebanese strains seem to have high to medium CBD and low to medium THC.
If you want to get super zonked you'd have to make a concentrate, hashish or whatever. Otherwise smoking a joint of bud will be a fairly light stone compared to the modern hybrids. This is a plus if you're a CBD user you can toke all day and still function with the benefits of the high CBD content.
These photo sensitive strains are a bit tricky. If they get root bound or stressed they can start flowering. If you're at a high latitude and start in March or early April they can start flowering in early to mid May. By the time they snap out of it they start flowering again because it's July.
I'd start in late March. They don't need a lot of nutrients, we've all seen pictures of them growing in the desert with no water or fertilizer. I've seen these kind of plants have a 'slow and steady' growth rate. If you're using a container you can choose a size appropriate for the size of the plant. Considering the plant won't get very big or bushy I wouldn't go much higher then 5 gallons. I've had success with 3 gallon pots with some liquid feeding.
Of course I haven't grown this particular strain but I'm confident my advice is good because I've grown other middle eastern hashplants..

I’ll make sure to log my grow with all the details brother! My only concern is the autoflowering tendencies that Dubi mentioned but I’m hoping by vegging under 20/4 I can avoid a lot of that.

Cheers man!

Awesome advice brother! Thank you for sharing your experience with similar strains. I’ll be keeping all this in mind going into this grow.

It's above freezing here today, I'm getting excited about spring planting. I hope that your girls are doing well. Peace

Thinking on growing it this spring, per its description it should able to stand Seville weather with great potential, but... my concern being odour.

I have a great growing space, size won't be a problem, neither stealth (sheltered by 5-6meter reeds) but odour could.

Which ACE sativas with great (or only) outdoors potential would you grow here that have the least odour possible?

If it can help you,Oldtimer haze(purple or green) x thai no have a more smell,you can be at one mt from a plant and you can't smell it...

I've found the same characteristics in middle eastern strains, a unique genepool for sure.
Not firmly sativa or indica, foxtails, Cbd pheno's etc...
Sometimes super nice smells and resin production...The minus side, flavor doesn't usually translate to taste, potency is usually average.

In northern lat's above 50 an annoying thing can occur with flowering.
Start in march under lights - In April/May put outdoor or G-house in natural light cycle. They chuck out preflowers within days and soon after that the first sign of buds. - By June/July however, they go back into veg, only to resume flowering sometime in september, finishing in late Oct into Nov.

Now this would be fine and dandy in a place with a dry autumn, but for wet areas it would be better for them to finish by late sept.

One option would be to pollinate the preflowers of the females when they first put them out in May (soon after putting them outdoor). This may keep them in flowering mode even in 18 hour days (?)...
Also it should not fill the buds with seeds as only the preflowers are pollinated.

How about if they are under 24 hour lights. Will they still start budding?

Thanks to Dubi for explaining the lineage of his lines in detail, I'm quite fed up of the various seed co's with their vague descriptions.

better vague than some made up mythical origin story involving an historical figure from the 14th century. Marco Polo definitely smoked this strain.

but yeah, I really like how ACE et Co. handle their business. much respect
