I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I read somewhere that the Chinese Yunnan was acquired from Australia. Maybe Dubi can confirm or not? If I'm wrong please delete.
Wherever it is from I really liked the OE, and it is nothing like your average Dutch hybrid.

yes from the chinese in australia ,
though maybe they got it originally from old mate rod ,
i know he did some business with them many years ago in the early days of ace seeds ....

I posted all i know about the origins of our China Yunnan line in this post in the China Yunnan thread 9 years ago:

Chinese yunnan indica

ellis just to be sure, i am not very certain that you understood what i wrote before.. maybe i expressed myself wrong, but i see not much sense in repeating me things, which i actually already had pointed out in a way. anyway good luck on that grow

@Donald Mallard my memory is not the best, but cannot remember rod you comment.
As stated in the post in the link, the chinese seeds came from a person nicknamed kernal kosmix more than 20 years ago, from an online perservation community that even pre dated Vibes collective some like to name when they were not even there.

Unfortunately I lost the clone during a power outage and decided it was fate so I put a Tikal seed in the bucket instead.

#1 resilient, beautiful plant

Really beautiful Vietnamese sativa dom expressions on your 2 Orient Express females @early_hominid
Sorry if you mentioned it earlier: are you growing the regular or feminized version ? Looks like they started to flower on the second half of August there. Hope they are doing great!

Great looking indoor OE female @Hasch Thanks for choosing 2 classic ACE strains such as Orient Express and Bangi Haze for your first grow with our genetics. She started robust and wide leaved China indica dom style, but now she is entering into flowering she is showing more and more sativa traits with that stretching and strong side branching. Are you growing the fem version ?

 

[Hasch]

@dubi
Yes, the fem version it is
(OE + BH)
Am glad I decided to go with ACE genetics, the more I read up on various seedbanks and breeders.

Next run is already planned : 2 NewCal and one each fem ThaiChi + PanamaMal

When about can I check which phenotype it is?

Thanks dubi! They are both killer plants, tons of buds and resin. From fem seed

#1 is creamy, spicy, and herbal

#2 has a floral, earthy dankness similar to my indoor run earlier this year, but it's a little creamier and quieter

 

[Hasch]

Love an outside grow, beautiful plants there @early_hominid

Thanks for sharing!

Let's wait till flowering is more advanced @Hasch to be able to evaluate more traits.

They look wonderful in early flowering @early_hominid both entering flowering stage with a healthy green color, and defining big, promising flower structures. Female 2 looks more resinous so far.

Orient express from last season, finished in the second week of October. Lovely strain, thanks dubi and Ace crew.

 

[dubi]

mycelium for sharing pics and comments on your last year OE outdoor plant, much appreciated.
Glad you like the strain!

 

[early_hominid]

What a color palette in those photos @mycelium, beautiful!

I'm just about to chop my two OE, here's some pics. From some early sampling #1 is high THC similar to my indoor run, and #2 is less potent and might have a balanced chemotype.

#1 Getting no direct sun her last 3 weeks, and showing some mite attack since the tropical storm, but she's holding on well

#2

 

[Hasch]

At least 5 weeks in flower now, about 1,3m

She got some gentle defoliation to open up bud sites and help her focus on bud development...

Is becoming very resinous the last 2 weeks and smelling wonderful

Here's hoping for a pheno with a nice high...

 

[dubi]

Looks really good here @Hasch @early_hominid guys
You both got the classic high yielding sativa dom Vietnam Black pheno

 

[Hasch]

sativa dom Vietnam Black pheno

Am looking for info about that pheno.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

[Hasch]

chemotype in this case is not heavily linked to visual or aromatic traits

Ok, found dubis post, guess then I'll just have to be patient...

 

[dubi]

The classic big yielding VB sativa dom expressions are well documented by many growers in this thread.

 

[Hasch]

My OrientE got cut today.

My rh is now ~65% daytime and up to 74% at night. Didn't want to risk it any longer...

The rest, curious how those lower buds will develop...

 

[dubi]

Masterfully grown @Hasch love the way you grow your plants so healthy all the way, producing such beautiful, perfectly expressed flowers, congrats, enjoy!
