until someone comes alone with plan I'd keep removing balls. Your in wk 3 flower so would think could effect yield to some extent. Read some old time sativa smokers claim good smoke from some of thier hermi'd plants.

Hi MountainBudz,
I have a similar problem with a Malawi x Purple Haze cross right now. It keeps throwing nanners. My experience with it is that it is some of the best smoke I have and some of the most potent. Idk how it would be without bananas and seeds but at least these things don’t seem to be impeding the quality too much. However, you can keep removing sacks and all, eventually it is going to create some seeds in neighboring plants. The question you need to ask yourself is: Can I live with that? How important is a quality marker like bud being sinsemilla to you? Might depend on the intended use of crop. Anyhow, I[FONT="] wish you all the best luck with your plants. Malawi is a fantastic strain.[/FONT]
Wow! Way to go, man, grandiose plants!
You let them go for really long.

Looks amazing borderline! This is my first time running malawi myself and im gonna run her outdoors as well. Also have a pack of ace seeds fem "outdoor mix" i'm gonna run as well. I have ran the Golden Tiger and Zamaldelica and they were both killer plants. The Zamaldelica was one of the largest yielders I have ever had to be in such a small container "3 gallon/600 watt hps" yielded over 5 ounces in promix!
My current malawi is throwing balls though, hope I get to finish her out. But man your plants are stunning!
MountainBidz thanks man. these were some of the easiest plants to grow both malawi and the 3 zamdelicas both were great.
Good luck with your grow. I did about ec 0,8 feed every time. One of my Zamdelica girls was a bit leggy so keep her in a 1.5 gal pot with some bondage and the others in 3 gal. so that zam got feed about twice as much as the 3 gal girls and it's a monster. Think it has out yielded the other 2 zams by far.

malawi girls at final resting place

will leave in dark for couple days. The one girl is going to be a real yielder.

Nice pile of buds.
Ever since I saw shots of cobs from tangwena I have been itching to get some malawi (and others) wrapped up.
Ouch! those things look awesome man lovely job, please post some pics of the buds after harvest they look so fat its amazing.

Have both malawi girls in drying room. last couple wks noticed the columnar malawi smells changed to mainly an oily heavy pine scent almost fuel oil smell. And the multi top pheno a very delicate mango citrus aroma that is easily masked by stronger plants. That was the case in flower closet. This girl's scent was easily over powered. Stem rubs of course did not get "diluted" but were very mild scents mainly astringent if memory serves.

Thanks for stopping by. Have done it couple of grows and hard to say just boiling the roots would help but it's part of the plant dying process. Leave plant under the lights after that for couple days then into a dark room for final days.
The boiling water shocks the plant into survival mode before plant death. Makes the plant put out that much more. If you pinch the stems in flower the plant responds by producing more trichs. Same principle me thinks.

leave under lights after for a couple of days?
after killing the plant?
plants won't produce more trichomes from pinching the stem....
just chop your plant, right at the base, and hang the whole plant in TOTAL DARKNESS for a week.
Thats all you need to do.... (unless you want to make cobs or something...)
but for interest's sake, heres an excerpt from Robert Connell Clarke's Marijuana Botany (on boiling roots) [chapter 4: Maturation and Harvesting of Cannabis]
I've just found the less you do to your plant (handling etc) the better the buds....
