Update: Panama - day 71(+31) plus some newbies
I’m pretty excited looking forward to having some of
this in my jars!
No red pistils yet. I have read that they can come in late but time is marching on, innit!?
I’m really happy with this soil, well, apart from a crazy amount of fungus gnats, fuh goodniss’sakkes! I’ve dealt with em before, so am keeping the damage to a minimum but there’s been quite a few
.
But still, the soil seems well balanced. I have pushed it a bit as the breeder of this Panama says it can tolerate some feeding. I took that as an opportunity to see how rich this soil is and also Try out the organic fertilisers i bought with it. The soil is ‘water-only’ but I’ve diluted it a little (by 20-30%) and am supplementing a bit with the fish hydrolysate and kelp fertilisers, both as drenches and foliars. I’ve burnt the tops a bit recently - I think with a fish foliar ‘misting’ that it maybe didn’t really need. Also maybe becasue I let it dry out a bit to irritate the gnats. No major harm done
I’ve mostly given it only water (our magical rain water) that last few waterings - sometimes with some powdered microbial product added.
It has some real heft to it in the top cola and very strong stem. For those who didnt see or don’t remember it started under veg lighting and then switched to 11/13 at about 10days (maybe 2 weeks) old, has been left untopped and kept in small pots, now in a 3gal.
I really love the short and spikey pistils! And also the lovely sativa type ‘open‘ flower structure. The bracts are kind of fanned out, like regular petals.
I’ve noticed that shape starting to come into the upper leaves - the shape that the upper leaves on the SB have taken on big-time. So, if it’s the same phenomena, that might support the environmental theory (light intensity and/or heat). I will see how or if it progresses.
All in all, I’m very happy with my first try at running a sativa like this. Panama is a pretty tame one to do it with, not sure how others will go but I’m sure to find out! I’m probably going to try it with the Thai Chi next. I’ll run indicas and hybrids in small pots like this too, but probably not 11/13 from seed. This Panama has done exactly what I wanted/was hoping so it’s definitely something I’ll be doing again!
Meet the new kids! 
CBD#1 From ACE Seeds
After 3 years of hard work and with lab assistance at each breeding step, we finally offer CBD #1, the first ACE Seeds strain where all plants produce a stable chemotype with high CBD content (between 13-17%), very low THC content (between 0.6-0.7%) and a cannabinoid ratio with more than 20 times CBD than THC, the result of breeding a Cannatonic S1 of very high CBD content with the Afghan ErdPurt, also rich in CBD.
Here’s the complete info for anyone interested:
After 3 years of hard work and with lab assistance at each breeding step, we finally offer CBD #1, the first ACE Seeds strain where all plants produce a stable chemotype with high CBD content (between 13-17%), very low THC content (between 0.6-0.7%) and a cannabinoid ratio with more than 20 times CBD than THC, the result of breeding a Cannatonic S1 of very high CBD content with the Afghan ErdPurt, also rich in CBD.
CBD #1 produces dense and super sticky buds of medium size and very good bag appeal, extremely rich in oils, resins and terpenes. The amount of resin is truly extraordinary, with the sugar leaves becoming completely covered with trichomes, almost as much as the flowers themselves, making this variety an excellent choice to produce hashish and other high quality extractions with high CBD content.
The terpene profile of this strain is incredibly intense, complex and refined, a perfectly balanced blend of the very strong and dominant sweet ripe tangerine and tropical fruit terpenes of Cannatonic, with elaborated sweet, floral, gummy, earthy, piney and musky details of the ErdPurt Afghani, and a super pleasant and long-lasting hashish aftertaste. Undoubtedly, one of our most fragrant strains with some of the highest terpene levels.
It produces a very mild effect, with hardly any psychoactivity (due to its high CBD/very low THC content) and high medicinal value that relieves both physical pain and mental discomfort (stress, anxiety, paranoia). Especially suitable for those people who seek medicinal effects but have low tolerance to THC, yet still want to enjoy the best terpenes and resins of the highest quality cannabis.

| Structure | Robust and columnar during the growth, with the large, wide leaves and thick stems of Afghani indica, showing more sativa traits in flowering. |
|---|
| Bouquet | Intense, complex and refined, a perfect balance of the very strong and dominant of sweet ripe tangerine and tropical fruit terpenes of Cannatonic, with elaborated sweet, floral, gummy, earthy, piney and musky details from the ErdPurt Afghani, and a super pleasant and long-lasting hashish aftertaste. Undoubtedly, one of our most fragrant strains with some of the highest terpene levels. |
|---|
| High | Very light, with hardly any psychoactivity, especially suitable for those who seek medicinal effects and do not tolerate THC well. Initial sativa effect: clear, focused, expansive and sensitive sativa that connects you with the surroundings and greatly improves the mood, providing a psychological state of calm and positive thoughts. It develops in a more relaxing and daydreaming way, with a feeling of contentment, relieving physical pain, stress, anxiety and paranoia. Excellent medicinal potential. |
|---|
| Terpene profile | It has not yet been analyzed. |
|---|
| Growing Tips | It can easily be grown indoors, and it is very suitable for both SOG and SCROG crops.
Outdoors it can be grown up to latitude 45º, both in warm and cold climates.
We recommended to prune it if you wish to get more branched plants, since its natural structure is quite columnar.
Excellent strain for breeding projects and to develop short flowering CBD-rich strains, with terpenes and resin of the highest quality.
We recommend moderate-high levels of nutrients for the whole cycle. |

It sprouted with its seed helmet on (which hasn’t happened to me in aaages! Didn’t go deep enough obviously.) And it’s cotyledons were then fully stuck together for a couple of days while I slowly aided the unsticking. It’s growing in a temporary propagation box and is nearly in need of more. The veg box I’m making is coming ... and better be soon! Otherwise I may need to piut in in under the 3000/3500k for 11 hours a day. I don’t really want to though. It’s not as warm as I’d like during light on - but I cant keep the RH up anyway so a bit of slow growing is ok while I’m still building the bigger box!
This is in the new super soil like the Panama and will get transplanted into a single standalone auto-pot. I will fill teh reservoir for it manually to see if I like the pots (before I invest in a reservoir system and purchase more pots).
You’ll notice my clone zone on the right
This is a little rehearsal for the incoming growbox, using translucent plastic and paper to shield light in different amounts. RH has been way below ideal but I have some cloning action nonetheless. You’ll hopefully also notice the one in the square pot has started to lift right up and put out a new shoot - that’s the rooted cutting I planted. Ironic that what seems to be my first successful clone is of something that is unlikely to be a keeper - the to-date aromaless Sour Bubba. I guess that is an indication to start letting it have a bit more light.
And just because my jars of it are nearly empty

DDA d#4
I know, I know! I just harvested a DDA.
That one is different, and these dynamo-made ones are special!
I do like the new one, but it’s definitely more lie down for a nap than most DDA, lots of mango in the smell. These ones dynamo made had a parent with a rich syrupy delightfulness that comes through most in the #4s (for me) which usually stay super dark purple in the buds, with a total of about 6 green fan leaves that turn beautiful autumn colours during ripening. The high from them (not to mention the flavours!) is unique to me so far - like dancing I always say - so I like to have one growing whenever I can! Squeezed into the corners.
They’re a runty pheno, so last time I grew 2 each per 1gallon pot. This time I’ve given one a 1 all to itself
(Also the new super soil)
I’ll round things out for the day with the tent family - now officially the flower tent
, seeing as I have a seperate place to start plants

Oodles of goodness from me you my comrades in weed
Grateful for y’all on this journey.
I'm glad you stumbled across the post and found it useful in your situation. 
NLA sure hangs well. Love your innovative hanger! I missed MrSaugas post earlier. I'm off to check it out. Thanks
. I can even cover it and attach my litlle computer fan I use for air movement when drying to it And it becomes the prefect drying ‘tent’. I’m very stoked woth it. WIll probably get a dedicated one (so I’m not stuck for where to put my washing when there’s a plant hanging!)
hiya oops! Hope you’re doing well today...
