I think it should look more like this.

Hey @Old Fogey , Sounds to me like you're judging my Oil by the colour of its Skin. Just kidding!! I've been using the same Oil extraction method since 2005 from Bliss Cameron and Veronica Greene's book "Marijuana Cooking: Good Medicine Made Easy". Bad Kat (Kitty) does have some wicked good recipes, thanks for recommending.
Mine does look more like that when it's melted. Using Bud and Kief keeps it less Green.

Great job man, love the Malawi. Looks awesome. I love the leaves, the structure and the budz, they look much frostier than I would have imagined. This must be a pretty well worked over strain, most African landraces are potent but lack sticky trichomes compared to modern hybrids. Ace did a great job with the selection on this.

Zandar, your plants look about as healthy as they can be, and such small pots! I can't believe how awesome the buds on these plants are, I know this was a while ago, but I hope yer still killing it with growing, and also growing landraces specifically and producing some seed for yourself. Preservation is key in this day and age, so many polyhybrids and crosses.

they say, give me some nitrogen! and a drink of water!
Btw! Just realized I didn’t thank you for this thoughtful an informative post, I’ll definitely take all that into consideration when I re-run them but that’s exactly what happened. PH spiked on me while I was away on a trip hitting 6.2-6.3 and locked her out while burning her at the same time. As mentioned Autopots are quite different than DTW … mainly the need for lower ECs but still that was a very informative post full of useful information.
Thanks!!!
Looking very healthy @Emeraldo long sexy legs! All the best for the flowering stage 
She is starting to chug along nicely @goingrey i really like her huge, aggressive calyxes and trichomes.
The current feeding seems more adequate at this point
What the hell! FletchF.Fletch Man those Malawi gummies look like coming from Neptune

fully agree with the points you mention in this post @Old Fogey thanks for sharing your experience and insights. In fact, we recommend in the Malawi strain description > Additional Information > Growing Tips to provide Malawi seedlings at least 15 days of growth indoors before switch to flower, although i (think i really mentioned it in other threads that in a perfect world) i prefer to flower plants indoors that have already reach their sexual maturity indoors during growing stage.
Well I am gutted to report I’ve unfortunately burned this Malawi as well as a doors x original haze. I am running them in the same tent as some modern day heavy feeding hybrids… additionally, this was my first grow on new equipment … An 8x4 tent, with autopots…. And I’m still learning the ins and outs of growing on reservoirs apparently. When I built the system I intentionally added two reservoirs so I could account for situations just like this… that is, feedings of different strength when running different strains at the same time.
When I began this grow I had full plans to put the satties on one reservoir and all the hybrids on the second reservoir, but I did not do it from the start. During veg both the Malawi and the Doors x Ohaze were happily eating just as much as the hybrids. Then i flipped them and we headed into stretch… much to my surprise, they STILL were eating the same EC as the hybrids and because of that I thought to myself “well look at that I think they are going to chug right along beside the hybrids the whole way through”. Ummm …. No
We went out of town on a trip all through week 4 of flowering, just as they began really starting to flower (and the hybrids were already well into forming buds) and when I returned the Malawi and the Doors x Ohaze were burned up fairly badly.
I definitely won’t be doing that again. It seems that the minute they finished stretch and switched into flower production their EC needs dropped drastically. Lesson learned! Satties always on their own res and I won’t try pushing them. On my previous panama grow those guys were beasts and chewed through 1.8 EC no problem… here 1.9 burned these beauties up.
I am working on recovering them now and I still have them going so if I can get them to rebound sufficiently I’ll report back here. I still have the mother plant as well as another Malawi mom held back so I will definitely make another attempt at them and probably stay down around 1.5 EC when I do.
Sorry Dubi! Haha i feel like I’ve failed the genetics
Sorry to hear it @OZZ_ and no worries
cultivation is a learning curve and it's normal to find new problems when you change environment/growing media.We also learn more from the failures than successes, and sharing your experience sure will help others.
Yeah, i think to feed the Malawis up to 1.9 EC during the transition to flowering was too much. Depending on the pheno, i like to feed the Malawis with ECs between 1-1.4 at that point, also during early flowering stretching. I only like to push the feeding up to 1.8 EC with the New Malawi Killer (and such Malawi phenos are the ones that tolerate higher ECs) in the peak of flowering production, that's the healthy limit with this strain i would say.

Excellent and very helpful advice.
I just took another Malawi cutting but this time it is off a Fem plant from seed purchased in 2021 so it’s likely to have a higher chance of being a NMK phenotype I would guess. Sill I’ll follow your advice and stay at 1.4 during stretch and probably will get even more conservative and give a max of 1.6-1.7 just to be safe. If she asks for more then that’s a different story
