Here's my first-ever pure sativa grown indoors - or anywhere for that matter - Seedsman Malawi Gold. I had to try MG after everything I've read, and I was also determined to try and create a manageable indoor sativa hybrid for future use - so far, I've been very pleasantly surprised. These two caused some sarcastic comments in a LST thread a few weeks ago, but I stuck with it, and hopefully they should make up for the jokes now...
I've got two phenos, only one shown here - the other is very similar, with slightly more of a 'vine' tendency, where this one is more 'bushy', but we are talking subtle differences, really. They're both 30" (76cm) tall and have been tied down repeatedly - however, after three weeks stretching they stopped dead - possibly down to severe auxin re-distribution?
Not much smell at present - slightly fruity/peppery, but very mild so far - the resin is only just starting to build up. They're on week 9 of a 12-week schedule, and I'm hoping they'll finish by then - I can't really afford any 'stragglers'...
The buds are actually quite solid to the touch, despite appearances - each budstalk is a tough little thing, and they're making quite fat colas. Both plants are under a 600W lamp - with another 600W over my skunks only two feet away, so there's more than enough light to finish them off!
Two branches were pollenated with my male Flo phenos, (one indica-dom and one sativa-dom, though nowhere near as sativa as this!) and the seeds are fattening up nicely, as can be seen in the photos. I'm most excited about this, as I'm hoping to impart some of the Flo physical structure and flowering time without detracting at all from the head high - in that regard I should imagine both strains will be complimentary. Additionally the smell is similar, so I'm hoping I'll get some really interesting crosses here!
