shorter squatter veg profile with indica/sat ( as opposed to sat/sat, or sat/indica) looking leaves. i understand that some sats do have indica leaning leaf profile in early veg.yikes.. what was indica about the mango zamals if you don't mind me asking? There's not much reports of it in the mandala section but the one I did see was pretty good.
i'm not trying to imply that indica is in the mango/zamal. the lack of vigor and the "non-traditional pure sativa profile" were influences in my decision. the mango/zamal reports are very good. i'm looking for an extreme sat profile and good vigor just like my zamalish for seed's parents of a zamal dominate parentage. zamal has a classic sat profile and is very vigorous ( gets huge!).
i actually just received some of christopher's original zamal line ( according to the source). these seeds are very old so they may not germinate. if they do germinate i might have to pheno hunt for a non-hermie male that is up to par with geritt's cut. at least i have a chance to preserve the original zamal line.
the big issue with me regarding the grail sats is that their use in cash crop grail outdoor strains needs more bud structure for yield and ease of trimming. for personal smoke the extreme sats are probably better than "hybrids for bud structure". from what i've read this improved bud structure, frosty bag appeal and reducing the flowering time without taking too much away from the haze high effects and potency ( the nl utilized was very potent) is why nevil used northern lights in his haze crosses.
show me the grail od cash crop strains from seed! the only one i'm sold on so far is golden tiger which benefits greatly from the malawi dominance in hardiness, bud structure ( yield, ease of trimming). the malawi is hermie resistant and mold resistant. it is very narcotic. for up electric highs i don't see malawi from ace being applicable for electric up traditional sat high effects. zamaldelica has a great up roller coaster high effect, but it is malawi dom gt crossed into zamal so the malawi parentage is lessened in high effects and bud structure.
mango zamal might be a great cash crop od strain. i don't know. i'm trying to establish a "very zamal" seed stock for future breeding purposes at present.
