ACE Seeds – Orient Express

ORIENT EXPRESS

Asian Sativa/Indica hybrid with high yield, short flowering time, and warm, social high.

Orient Express is a powerful Asian hybrid that combines the high yield of aromatic and resinous flowers from our selected Vietnam Black mother with the low height and short flowering time of our Chinese Yunnan Indica.

Most plants produce a THC-rich chemotype, while some may have a balanced ratio of THC and CBD. This strain is one of the most popular in our catalog and has delighted countless breeders since the beginnings of ACE-Seeds. It is especially recommended for Asian Sativa lovers with small gardens.

Effect: The high is warm, clear, and pleasant, without paranoia or anxiety. Ideal for relaxed conversations and enjoyment in social settings.

Growing Tips:
Orient Express shows excellent adaptability to indoor cultivation. For optimal results, we recommend a warm temperature of about 25°C during the growth phase and the first four weeks of flowering. In the last month of flowering, the temperature should be reduced to about 20°C.

The strain is excellently suited for SOG (Sea of Green) due to high yields in the main cola or for SCROG (Screen of Green) thanks to the excellent yields on the side branches and the strong response to pruning.

Outdoors, Orient Express is very adaptable and can be successfully grown in both hot climates and regions with mild autumns.

This strain generally requires high nutrient inputs. For a high-yielding harvest, it should be generously fertilized until the sixth week of flowering.

Genetic Analysis: Orient Express possesses a unique genotype with high genetic variability and direct relation to the China Yunnan used, which was utilized for the development of this hybrid.
