Great post. I would actually say minimum of 3 months. I was initially not that impressed with Malawi. At a 2 month cure I would have rated it 4/10. At 3 months it is more like a 7 or 8. Good pot but not quite my cup of tea when it comes to sativas.
Sativas improve vastly with a long cure. It's like you are smoking completely different pot compared to when you just harvested.

I know that this is an opinion and of course each of us have our subjective likes and dislikes.....but I am interested in your opinion of what sativa strains you prefer over the Malawi and why. Not being critical, just curious as to what you like better.
If/when my Malawi reaches harvest, I will definitely take the advice to cure at least 90 days before making a final determination. However I might have to sample some nuggets before then just to get a before and after comparison AND to avoid having to purchase smoke off the street.
Mine looks a lot like that one how long does she go?

Really good info! Thanks!
Beautiful plant dubi ! I will have one or two in the garden next summer. Peace
I could'nt say it better, you expressed perfectly what i'm experiancing with malawi...wasn't impressed at all at the beginning, but now that my first phenos are 4 month cured it's a totally different thing.
I think that for few phenos (who have really dense nugs for pure sativas) it's a minimum to wait 100 days...it's not even totally perfect now...
Personally if i had smthg negative to say about this strain it would be about his taste/smell which is very very loud and strong (very difficult to describe, maybe incense?...)
But dont get me wrong guys, it's a great strain

Hi everyone,
This is my purple Malawi pheno. Big, beautiful, smelly buds. Not super dense. Dark fruit kind of smell.

And here's my favourite girl of the grow. Such pretty looking buds and a smell of carrot and orange from very early in flowering. Now I think of it, she was a very graceful and tropical looking plant from the beginning of her life. Can't wait to try this one.

Hi Pandy, thx for the nice pics.
please let us know how they smoke
If you don't mind a question from an unexperienced person: the plant on the left looks to be about 4 ft. is that their natural stretch or did you train it to not get real tall?

Hi Onavelzy,
Thanks so for the appreciation. The purple is about 5ft tall and the carrot pheno is about 5.5 feet tall with pot. They were veged by a friend outdoors till early September when they were about 5 ft tall. They had already started stretching at that point, probably about a foot. I brought them in and bent them as far as I could. They would have outgrown my room if I hadn't done this. So I would say they stretched 2-3x their original height.
I just put in another round veged to 18 inches (without pot) and I'm expecting them to get 4ft tall.
