Soooo, another season is coming and I'm looking for Sativas to grow here, at 43ºN.
This will be my 3rd grow, 2nd with ACE's gear. Last year I grew:
PCK x Kali China -> A pleasure to grow, but I lost quite a bit of production because of botrytis. The high was good, dreamy and relaxed, not too narcotic for an indica I guess.
Bangi Haze -> I lost one for external reasons. The one that survived was the best plant of the season for me. Clear high with no body. Mold was not a problem for this one. She didn't like my LST.
Malawi -> I had 2; one caught botrytis in a good % of their heads and the other one did not. The main difference between them was the structure and the consistency of the buds. The high is heavier than the BH, but it doesn't have too much body either.
That said, this season I'm looking for something like the BH I had last year, but hopefully I can harvest before November. They will be in the top of a roof, so I need them to be tough. These are the traits I'm looking for:
-Tough against extreme conditions (heat, cold, wind and rain).
-Good against mold
-LST-friendly (I need to control the height)
-Clear high (or at least something that don't make me wanna stay in the couch all day)
-Need them be ready before November.
That translates into a plant that have medium-lenght internodes, medium density/size buds and strong branches to take the LST but flexible enough so they can take the wind. I was thinking about Bangi Haze, that is almost perfect, but ACE don't have them in stock (fem version) and it's a good time to "experiment".
So this is what I came out with: 2xCongo, 1xTikal, 1xPanama.
This season I don't have space, so I will use 3x11L + 1x7L pots. (or 2x11 and 2x7, depending on how I feel).
Maybe the Congo have too dense buds? Will they be ready before November? I was also thinking about Queen Mother, but couldn't gather that much info about her.
What do you think?
Saúdos.
