Good luck brother and I’m here if you got any questions. CL

I hope you have some stout gear because the biggest Snook I ever caught was 49 + 1/2”. When I lived there the average fish was 10-15 lbs. CL

Your Golden Tiger is looking very Thai pheno and has a long way to go yet. Try and resist the temptation not to increase the nutrients too early in flower and she'll thank you for it in another 2/3 months with a huge harvest, but if you try and pump them up too soon the buds won't develop anything like as well. She's not like most modern hybrids that have been designed/breed to take vast quantities of nutrients. Once she's really starts to stack on the flower then whack it up, but in the mean time try and resist.

In my many years of growing and smoking, GT is up there as one of the most potent ever (pheno dependant of course). The Panama has to be up there too.

I’m glad you told me that because I was bumping up the strength of nutes thinking that it was a good thing as long as it wasn’t burning her. CL

Afternoon Update: I fed all my ladies with RX, PH 6.4 and 71degrees until runoff. I also did a little trimming to my Chocolate Thai to open up the canopy for better light penetration and air flow. But especially to remove any fans that were covering bud sites. She is now getting more sticky than oily. I’m going to do it to all my ladies just not all @ a time. Here’s a pic or two. CL

Sorry I'm always a day behind Cap'n.
Your garden is amazing.
Hope your weekend is going well.
Take care.

She's not like your other plants. Easy does it. Once she's really flowering hard then increase but still try to resist the "push it till the tip burns". You'll have a bumper yield!

Last years GT drying for a few days before being turned into cobs.

What was your dry weight from that harvest if you don’t mind me asking Hombre? CL

 

[Hombre del Monte]

I really have no idea. I stopped weighing my harvest a few years back.
I grow 5 different Sativas every year outside and have sufficient for me and the wife, the children when they visit and plenty to give as presents to friends when they call by. Even after that lot, I still have enough cobs to put away for the following years/years (to mature further).
The Golden Tiger was my best producer last year. If I had to guess I'd say a kilo. It could have been more but I removed a lot of it in order to keep it hidden.
Panama is also an excellent producer and had a similar yeilds the year before. I have some photos somewhere of the Panama in full flower if you'd like to see them.
Panama, as you seen already, will happily take food, unlike the GT.

I would love to see them but I’m finding that the Panama doesn’t seem to like the nutes as much and if I don’t dilute it with water it gets burned. Maybe I have a different pheno? Idk? I also started a journal on that page but it’s gonna take me a minute to navigate it. CL

Not a problem my friend and thanks for the compliment. Hope you and yours are doing well and having a wonderful weekend. TTYL CL

That's interesting what you say about Panama. Over only grown it the once and gave it a lot of additional food during flower despite starting out in very fertile well conditioned soil.

Here's a picture about a month before the harvest. Forget that for the moment. It seems that they're not on my phone. Later in the day in fire up the pc and sort them out.

Some info from the Ace web site

Growing Tips

Excellent adaptability to indoor growing. Very suitable for SOG crops due to its great yield in the main cola, or for SCROG, horizontal or network growing due to its excellent yield in the lateral branches and its vigorous reaction to pruning. Outdoors, it is a very adaptable plant that has been grown for years in hot climates, and in climates with a mild start of autumn. Genetic analyses show that Panama has a unique and uncommon genotype, of moderate genetic variability. Panama is one of the best pure sativas available for the development of very powerful, aromatic, resinous and high yielding hybrids, with moderate flowering time and with excellent adaptability to indoor growing. It accepts high levels of nutrients, producing an enormous harvest when the conditions are adequate.

Morning Update: The ladies are all looking happy n healthy and my Chocolate Thai and Panama are feeling a little more sticky. They all smell wonderful and are stacking up nicely. I think today I’m gonna do some trimming to my Panama’s canopy to open it up for better airflow n light penetration. Then tomorrow I’ll start on my Golden Tiger. Here’s a few pictures. CL

Your going to need a lot of support once that GT starts to bulk up.

But fuck do they look good!

Here's some photo's of the panama from 3 seasons ago. We finished the last bit of her (cob) a month ago. It was many peoples favourite. Very strong, uplifting and euphoric, but with much more body to it than the GT. Again another weed that really needs a good 6 moths in the jars to bring out its best qualities. TBH I wish I had some on the go, but have over 25 different sorts of sativas that I'm wanting to try and can only get away with 5 each season. For some strange reason I get gifted seeds from some very accomplished growers that are part of the cobbing forum that i hang out on.

Only last week I was offered 7 different rare indica genetics. I don't usually do indicas or hybrids because of the smell but am going to try to do a grow over winter and flower it in early spring. Not quite figured the logistics yet but hey ho

How long was it in flower before you knew if your Panama was rojo or verde ? Beautiful pictures btw. CL Edit: I already have a dozen 5’ bamboo poles.

 

[Hombre del Monte]

Towards the end of flower was when I realised it was red. Initially I thought it was the green. The green pheno is supposedly less cloudy in effect and more energy.
Personally I wanted the red, if only because as a youth in the 70's I would read about it in the furry freak brothers comics and also the song "Panama red" by New riders of the purple sage.

Without wishing to suggest that you jump ship so to speak, and I would never be as presumptuous as to suggest to a Captain such a thing, but take a peak over on icm g at "hombres garden" it's got of my last 2 season's diaries plus the start of this year's projects.

Yeah that’s why I’m growing it because back in the day I smoked some and it was really nice. One of the best highs I ever had. Number one was Thai stick, number two was some real Hawaiian a friend brought back who was in the Navy and then the Panama. But all of them were awesome. CL

 

[Hombre del Monte]

I think your going to find that GT will be up there with them.

For me original haze is probably my favourite all time weed. The one I grew last year was harvested early (mid December!)as bad weather was coming and both Mrs DM and myself were ill with a nasty flu. It's not the strongest, but the best high. I'm actually smoking some at this minute, mixed half and half with GT

We used to get Thai sticks in the UK in the 70's that were the real deal. I think they were £4 each. You could get an oz of good Moroccan hash for only 12, so they were expensive.

As an interesting aside. My wife was telling me how one of the beggars in town was bemoaning the fact that there's is no good weed around these days; everything is just so bland.

I have her 2 grams of GT cob and told her to drop it in his bowl next time she saw him.
Yesterday she saw him again and he told her that that was the best weed he'd ever smoked in 25 yrs of smoking.

You'll like GT
