Sorry for the delay on the Zamal girl. I will get right into it: I only grew out a single Fem Zamaldelica along with the other three plants in this grow just to get a glimpse at what to expect. She grew easy and flowered with no real issue except being over watered and suffering some lockout for about two weeks. She responded well to very low feeding for the first six or so weeks into flower. This plant was cut after 15 weeks.
I light her up and take a slow but deep hit and i can taste the sweet minty wood on the exhale. The draw is smooth with little expansion in the chest. There is a mild floral note that accompanies the stronger minty wood flavor and after several hits a nice rich hashy taste develops that matches the minty wood flavor in intensity. I get about a third of the way down the joint and I begin to feel the effects building up. I first notice my heart rate increase but little or no effect in the head. The heart rate continues to increase and it feels like its pumping hard and then all at once I get head pressure, ringing in the ears and then warmth on my face. Boom! All of a sudden I'm high as hell. This thing comes out of nowhere and hits hard. With me, the pronounced tachycardia and the pressure last for about 15 minutes before they fall to the background. After those first uncomfortable 15 minutes the effects clears up and you are left somewhat clear headed but mental focus is completely absent. You mind wanders and your attention is periodically brought back to your heart rate which then makes you start thinking damn I’m so high right now! There is a bit of dissociation with stationary object which lends a bit of a triply quality to the effect. The effects also comes in waves from strong to very strong. The effects lasts about three solid hours and then she fades easy. I have shared this with some friends and some love the effect and others who get caught off guard by the effect have an unpleasant experience. I grew to like this plant very much but it took a while…it wasn’t love at first puff. This is not what i consider social weed or weed to focus on a particular activity. On a few occasions I’ve smoked this girl and then carried on whatever i was doing only to be subdued by the effects. When I smoke this plant I have to be ready to handle the effects otherwise it feels like I’m fighting against it. I wouldn’t use this daily if I want to get things done. This is for the special occasion where you want to take a trip to the moon. This is strong stuff.
Taste: 8/10 - I wish I got some of that sweet carrot pheno she is known to produce. The hash taste is a nice surprise. In the vape the taste improves greatly with a strong floral taste and sweet wood taste is really delicious.
Potency: 9/10 - I smoke every day and this thing still hits hard.
Effect: 8.5/10 - I like the effect but it can catch you off guard and potentially unpleasant. I find the effect is motivating and heady and keeps you going. I use it daytime or early evening. There is no noticeable body component to the high.

Final thoughts...this particular plant i think has a mix of the parents but lean more towards the malawi side. Can be devestating before a good cure smooths out the edges. I wish it had a bit more in the taste department but that may just be this particular plant. Overall an excellent representation of an equatorial strain bred from stability and quicker finish. Ace did a really great job with this plant and I see why many people rave about it.
