sure looks like you are going to have a large yield !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Day 42 of 12-12.
A Taste of Africa from Malawi
- Thread starter Zanddar
- Start date
I truly hope so
The little male clones have been through the wringer but they are doing their best to make some pollen! I took the clones right after flip and culled the ones from seed. I guess that’s one way to keep these tiny. Do you think I will get some viable pollen?

For sure
The 1k light is completely engulfed in Malawi flowers! Now I’m bending the tops in to the cmh on the ceiling and over the top of the 1k!
The plants have remained sexually stable even with 5 days of no power! They came back fine and are flowering profusely. It’s seems like the clock just stopped and when lights came back they recovered and went back to business.
Im anxious to compare the regs to the fems, so far they do seem different to me but too early to really say.
Pollen collection and pollinating is going well and looks to be taking, from the 2 males one is dropping pollen the other male seems later.

I have a very sativa structure pheno, long nodes, straight and strong stem/branches, big and thin leafs, roots grow madly fast and strong too, it does not show sex yet, but is not far. The point is, this Malawi have a "strong" smell (strong, because my Malawis from previous years didn't smell much till flowering of course, and even then are not very smelly), the smell in question is coffee, easy to spot coffee smell, I has phenos with lemon, oil and incense/hash/earth smell, but this one is a relative strong coffee smell that I spot on Malawi for first time.
Did anyone have a pheno with crystal clear coffee smell?

Bubba kush has coffee smell they are breeding bublawi your malawi could be contaminated by kush here's a dubi quote ...........The Bubba Katsu used as mother is very heterozygous so the variation in the hybrid comes mainly from her, this means unstability but also allows much more recombination of traits, something interesting in some cases, meaning you can get Malawi shaped plants with Bubba terpenes like the one you commented, and many other recombinations, such as short, compact Bubba shaped plants of very fast flowering, but with very strong Malawi sativa effects. The terpene profile of this Bubba mother is not sweet-floral at all. It's very coffee-hashy-earthy.
I have a few ACE Malawi going again this year. Two are from Fem seeds, and 2 are from the "Fruity Malawi" pheno that I think was an R&D item last year. Here is a photo. It's doing fine but will be medium sized I think due the root space limitations. The soil here is only about 30 cm on top of clay and limestone so I made a raised bed that adds some soil volume. This sandy clay soil here needs a lot of added organic material every year and still it dries fast on sunny afternoons. Keeping a healthy soil moisture level here this time of year is tough. With no rain for almost 3 months now it gets very arid here.
The plant behind to the right is a Golden Tiger reg. Harder to see to the left is a Purple Haze #23 x Thai Chiang Mai.

Woah those are some big tops.Day 56.
Took two buds to test the strength of the plant
Hi @HCMPA The New Malawi Killer has a sweet earthiness to her that may resemble to coffee for some. Did already declare its gender ? If it is a female it will be interesting to know how the smell during growth translates into flowering.
Your guess is wrong. Bubba Kush has never been reversed to pollinate Malawi, and the few Bubba x Malawi fem seeds produced were never mixed or released as pure Malawi, they were given to friends to test as they are: Bubba Kush x Malawi fem.

Wonderful job with your Malawi @amc888
Love the way you grew it: big, healthy and very well developed, now fading gradually before harvest, just perfect 
From far her buds look like fruity Malawi, but the closer bud pics and oily, woody, organic smells you described and shared with me in private are without any doubt closer to Old Malawi Killer.
I'm surprised she is ripening so fast ... if resins increase and buds get denser in the upcoming days then i will let her go more time, if you find terps start to fade and there's no improvement in bud structure or yield then i would consider to harvest soon.

Thanks @musigny23 so glad to know you keep growing Malawi and GT almost every season iirc. Really healthy looking plant from bottom to the top despite the lack of rains, probable lack of microbio life and not so rich soil in nutrients, meaning she is loving what you are providing her by hand
If the roots can go through the pot till the ground she still have room to grow much bigger, else i estimate she will grow 50 % more until flowering starts.Please feel free to join the Purple Haze #23 x Thai Chiang Mai thread some friends started here if you feel like:
ACE R&D: Purple Haze #23 x Zamaldelica F2
Thanks for the update @OntologicalTurn :) Glad to see both already into flowering. #1 looks very much like Zamaldelica regular: Malawi's strong structure, with more Zamal/Thai influence in the finished product. How would you describe her scents now they are becoming more evident ? Terpenes can...

Really neat, big, healthy and well developed plants, as usual in your garden @Zanddar
Beside selecting for desirable growing traits, i like to flower both females and males first before deciding which parental plants are finally selected. Females selected for finished product after curing, and males i really like to flower them for at least 2/3 parts of their flowering stage to evaluate flowering structures, yield, possible resinous males, ....
Your plants look big enough. When do you plan to flower them ?
Thanks @Emeraldo @PlasmaTube and @airplane for choosing ACE Malawi genetics for your current-upcoming grow Please, keep us updated with your progress.

The Malawi are doing really well and not forgotten. They're just building some mass and I trim them often. Have lots of them and they will need a full room to flower. So they have to wait till the CB are done.Really neat, big, healthy and well developed plants, as usual in your garden @Zanddar
