A Taste of Africa from Malawi

Just a question of curiosity, is Malawi pure sativa(or narrow leaf) or is there some indica(or wide leaf), I am curious and can not wait to grow out my own seeds.

Dont plan on having any critical business meeting after ha ha. The first time I tried well cured Malawi from Ace there was 3 of me looking back from the mirror while shaving a bit creepy at first until I realized they were all me ha ha.

I’ll keep that in mind.
Do you find them all really strong or just certain phenos?
Any preference on trichomes? Mostly cloudy or wait for a few amber?

Hi Kushy I am no expert but for cobbing i just go by the calyx if they are nice and swollen and the growth of new pistols is tapering off they are ready.
I never look at resin I can change the color of the resin during the cure.
If you leave them too long it will just wipe you out every time you smoke it.
As in comatose wiped out not here anymore wiped out.
When I used to grow Malawi in the bush years ago I left a few plants right to the end all yellow leaves no new growth ect.
A friend had some to smoke before getting on a train missed his stop and rode it right to the end of the line couldn't even remember why he was on the train in the first place.
He never asked for any more kind of smoke.

You are welcome SolarLogos :tiphat:

It's my pleasure to hear you have enjoyed so much with the experience of growing our sativas :)

To grow next Oldtimer's Haze will be a next level of your training with the most extreme tropical sativas!

Thank you very much for your reply and so much information. I have a much better understanding of growing pure sativa's than I did before this season. Growing the GT, Malawi and Honduran has been the most entertaining, educational and rewarding grow I've ever had. I owe a great gratitude to you Dubi, not just for the amazing genetics, but also the education and everyone else on here that helped look over my shoulder and post their grows for all of our learning.
I'm looking forward to next season's grow, OTH. I really enjoyed having plants in the greenhouse this late in the season. Two and half GT are down and half of one Malawi. It's a lot to trim at one time. I'll post on the GT tomorrow.
Peace, God Bless

Lovely indoor Malawi bush, newFish! :)

She has a perfect size for a small indoor tent grow, very bush and healthy. Looks promising, please keep us updated when you have the chance. Best wishes for the rest of the flowering.

Hi Conso glad to hear from you too! Sorry for the delayed response but i am busy with my job and i don't have enough free time. My own malawi seems that is not a typical malawi because she consume a lot of food!

She is in the 5th week of flowering it looks really good and healthy. Currently i feed her with AN nutrients and i have set the ec around 1.8 . I do super cropping to her at least once per week especially on the previous weeks during the stretching period.

She has stop to stretch so much and has the focus to make flowers.She is growing in an dwc system under 3 citizen cobs at 600 watt. I have in my tent two other plants from an other breeder as well but as usually ACE genetics impressed me. The difference between the plants is visibly.

So i post a photo from her!

Hi Mountainkush,

Thank you very much for supporting our work, glad to hear you are growing many different ACE strains at the same time :yes:

It's indeed very interesting to be able to compare the pure sativas, pure indicas and their sativa/indica hybrids in the same cycle and growing conditions, then you can realize how each pure line is and how they contribute to hybrids.

Your Malawi looks great in her 11th week of flowering, it's a New Malawi Killer pheno. I'm sure she is going to hit VERY hard after proper drying and curing process ;) She is producing her last reflowering and next she will be done. The leaf serrating curling upwards suggests an overfeeding of PK so i would recommend you to flush her abundantly from this point to make sure the flowers are clean of nutrients at harvest time.

Thanks Dubi, I’m enjoying all of them. Picked up 10 different strains and a mix fem pack. Started 8 so far as I love a mixed garden.

Here’s my Malawi fem at 9 1/2 weeks. Has been pretty interesting growing a pck and Malawi x pck along side her.

11 weeks in my flower tent. New pistils are slowing down now. Probably won’t be long for this one. My wife hates the smell of this one and I can’t figure it out. Slightly skunky crossed with rubber maybe. It’s weird. Tried a taster bud at 10 weeks and taste wasn’t bad in my vaporizer. Doesn’t taste like it smells at all but this was also a very immature bud from the bottom of the plant. High was clear and a bit racy. When I would sit still it seemed to hit me way harder. Excited to try the real deal when it’s ready.

Hi izzypog,

As stated in the official description of the strain, we have only inbred the pure Malawi sativa as we received her, we haven't added any other genetics into her genepool, we have refined her generation and after generation in pure form.

If you don't trust our strain description you can always check the genotype report of our Malawi at Phylos, although if you don't trust product descriptions from a seller then it's better you don't buy from them.

Just a question of curiosity, is Malawi pure sativa(or narrow leaf) or is there some indica(or wide leaf), I am curious and can not wait to grow out my own seeds.

Hey dubi!You have 2 malawis on Phylos, are they from reg and fem?The updated phylos shows one of them is clustering near the Dutch Hazes ,very interesting!

Hi Syd,

Our 2 analyzed Malawi samples came from regular seeds and from 2 different Malawi populations, one is our released Malawi, the other a different Malawi line not explored or released yet.

https://phylos.bio/sims/variety/PGT-12223-11971/ace-seeds/malawi
https://phylos.bio/sims/variety/PGT-13087/ace-seeds/malawi

I think it is the Malawi sample from 'Stars Barking Project' the one that is showing distant relationship with DNA Genetics Proprietary #1 sample (whatever it is):

https://phylos.bio/sims/sample/genotype/5ol3rqzo

We are about to send stems of our Old Malawi Killer and also from Yo Sammy's A5 Haze and Nevil's Haze to Phylos to continue gathering more info.
I will update accordingly our profile at Phylos after that, and possibly some of our strain descriptions too.

@dubi, I trust it, and from what I have seen, well, it takes me back to when I was first smoking. I have been questing for pure sativas for a long time, finding some is just so surreal. My friends and I would just walk the train tracks all day puffing on some killer, never knew what it was as it was always underground stuff. Over the years I have seen the obsession over indica, although some are good, there is nothing like that psychadelic blaze that puts a skip to your step. I will be posting my grow of both the tropical feminized mix and the malawi this spring, indoor grow of course, just to cold even indoors this winter, thank you @dubi, great news to put a smile on my face.

I’ll have to try cobbing sometime. Everyone seems to talk about it in this and the zamaldelica thread. I’ll look into it more. Very new to growing pure sativas.
Sounds fun to me. Maybe I’ll leave a couple branches to mature longer than the rest. Might just experiment more later when I pop the rest of the seeds. We’ll see.

Thanks Dubi,
Very cool to hear I got a new killer.
I’ll definitely try to fade them better in the future. I just started growing in coco back in September and I’ve hit some bumps along the way. Getting a good fade at the end is one of them. It’s been fed 0.3ec base nutes for the last week. Water starts at 0.1ec. 5.8ph
I tried just ph’d water on my last plant and leaves got crunchy.
I think I need to feed them less throughout the entire grow maybe and start cutting back gradually to the end.
No big deal anyway. 95% of the time I use a vaporizer and even the sample I took last week was smooth and tasty.

What is the difference between Malawi and Old killer malawi? What is cobbing? This is a good thread!

Thanx, Dubi, she is a pleasure to grow. I think the picture was taken at week 7-8. I should have put her in a bigger pot, but yield looks promising indeed :)

I´m gonna take pics when she is in full bloom.

Peace

12 1/2 weeks in flower for this Malawi fem. The last few pistils are withering and she’s getting nice and frosty. Probably cut this down in a day or two. Debating leaving it a little longer but I need the space and with how strong the sample was at 10 weeks I’m sure this will be great as is.
