Born on May-1, she has the 4 lower nodes&half (9 lower twigs) pruned. More than 2'25 metres of stem length, before being started to be pruned.

The aroma of the plant in the field or shortly after harvesting remains the same: rich liver pate, with light lavender, and spearmint&sweet lemon finish; but in the part that has been drying for several days, it seems that the light touch of lavender has been transformed into something similar to the smell of geraniums, and in the final touch of mint and lemon, the lemon is gaining in intensity and freshness.

Suerte a raudales, y salud a espuertas para disfrutarla.

...Well, here I am, harvesting the buds from the secondary branches' buds...

Baaahh... That's not a proper bud, cousin Jincho: These are "Sierra Morena stile" buds...
(@dubi, o a mi siempre me toca "el feno gordo", je, o lo de "producción media-baja" es un pelín modesto...)

December - 11 :
Photos, under the light of a ceiling lamp and a portable desk lamp, of one of the tips of the secondary branches that I harvested that day, still drying.
Its smell has evolved: now the dominant smell is a mix between fermented lemon and sweet lemonade with a very light note of mint & geranium, with a background of pâté:

Suerte y salud.

very resinous and green Thai looking buds @Eltitoguay

December - 3 :
This early morning of this Sunday-3, has been on the northern slope of my mountain range, the coldest so far this year, having fallen to 0°C (32°F) for the first time. The morning was cold and foggy, but after a few hours it dissipated and the sun began to warm up, but without getting above 12°C (54°F). We are going through a small cold spell, and it seems that temperatures will rise a little...

For the time being, I continue with the harvest of the Thai A5 Haze (A.C.E.); (All photos without any flash, only natural sunlight):

The variable and fickle nature of my inland mountain climate... If on the 3rd I had for the first time lows of 0°C/32°F (and highs of only 12°C/54°F), yesterday and today we have lows of 10°C/50°F and highs in the shade of 21°C/70°F...; but tomorrow temperatures are forecast to drop 4°(°C), and next Monday the 18th, back to lows of 0°C/32°F, and highs of only 14°C/57'5°F....

And for lovers of zoology (not everything is going to be botany), at least on a small scale, I leave you this photo of different and cute little animals inna "green party": this is the lowest and shadest branch of the plant, which at the time, touched on the soil, and promoted this colonization. Fortunately, as seen in the previous photos, the rest of the plant is in excellent condition:

Suerte y salud.

December - 14 :
Well, in two days, here in the northern slope of my inland Sierra, my maximum in the shade has almost been reduced by half and almost equaled my nighttime minimum from the day before yesterday; and my current nighttime lows have simply gone into free fall...

The only where I saw the beginning of mold, and I had to cut off its final bud:

During these past days and the following days, minimum night temperatures range between -2 and 3 °C (28'5 and 37'5 °F); the daytime maximums in the shade, between 11 and 16 °C (52 and 61 °F).
Only the smallest and least developed buds remain, having been almost completely shaded by the foliage of the middle and lower branches. Several extra days (compared to the rest of the plant) of winter sun (and cold) seem to have not been bad for them...

Yes, as I mentioned before, the fresh buds smell mainly of liver pâté with a lemon finish; The buds, already with days of drying, smell mainly of a mixture of lemon (fermented lemon, creamy lemon, sweet lemonade) with a finish that is a mixture of liver pâté and incense...

Hasta la próxima.

So nice to see this beastly plant grown outdoors.
Great work!
Thank you for sharing your growing experience to such detail. Very much appreciated!
A5 delivers the pâté aroma.
Hope the smoke will be to your liking!
Mucho Gracias!

That's what I thought too. I have to tell you (I think I already mentioned it) that although the live plant during its flowering smelled mainly of that liver pate with a lemon finish and a little mint, now, when I test the first harvested and almost dry to be able to try it and packaging it, the aromas have changed: Now almost dry, the buds smell mainly of a complex range of lemons (fermented lemon, creamy lemon, lemon&mint, and sweet lemonade; all mixed at once), while in the background or final notes, there is another mix between pâté, noble wood, and "Haze inciense"...
Thank you for the part and merit that corresponds to you (as well as your collective colleagues, and others people/seeds banks) in this variety.

I've got a Thai/A5 a month into flower indoors at present. I grew in a tiny 3 inch pot and topped it prior to flower so it wouldn't get too big, and planted in a fabric pot. It just took off despite the topping! After a bit of a panic which involved a lot of brutal super cropping she has settled in will finish about 4 foot high I suspect, instead of 6 or 7. Looking forward to this and will post pics later in the grow. She looks great and quite manageable indoors after a bit of work. Took cuttings and planning on putting one outside soon as we've just passed the summer solstice here.

Espero hayas pasado muy buenas buenas fiestas @Eltitoguay
Is she still alive ? Very nice pictures of her sweating resins due to cold temps and slight over ripening.

Thanks for starting the year flowering Thai A5 Haze in your garden @Chi13
Glad your girl is doing fine. Please, keep us updated with pictures when you have the chance.

Happy 2024 !!
