hello subrovka, you are doing a fine job with these fine plants! they look amazing from here.

I dunno if I'd have been able to hold myself and not chop a few sample buds by now hehehe...

what are the indicators you are going to use to determine she is done? have you lowered the photoperiod a bit or are you going 12/12 to the very end?

peace

thanks bomba, i´m happy that you like my malawis : )

..i can´t lower the photoperiod as i have also some malawi clones at day 53, some at day 35 and other sativas and also hybrids in the flower room, all in different stages..there´s a big party going on in my budding tent 365 days a year, no monoculture :biggrin:

i´m gonna check the trichs in the next few days with a magnifier and try to make some nice close-ups..however i need to take them out of the HPS/LED light, otherwise the coloration is really hard to tell under that light..


high subrovka,
looks very good!
can you tell me how they smell?
thx & keep it up
M.:smoker:

hey mad, yes #1 smells like pepper and wood, kind of oily.
#2 is full-on tropical fruits, #3 reminds me of cantaloupe melon and #5 is also more on the fruity side with hints of spices. but i guess #5 still needs some time to develope her real bouquet, she´s the longest flowring girl for sure..

i think #1 is the pheno which comes closest to the `killer-malawi, just from the smell:


greetz,

Excellent job subrovka with your Malawis! :yes:

They look very well developed, with dense resinous flowers. 1 and 2 look very close to the New Malawi Killer parental plant.
I'm glad you are also finding more refined fruity aromas in some of your females (3 and 5).

They all look very promising, can't wait for the smoke report :D

day 102

day 102

hey dubi, thanks for your kind words! #1 and #2 matured pretty fast over the last two weeks, i harvested them today at week 15 and both are looking amazing!

they are both dense and extremely resinous with huge trich-heads!

by touching the buds of #1 it releases also some fruity scents, next to the pepper/wood scent, while #2 smells pretty much like fresh cut tropical fruits and berrys..

in the first pic on the left side is #1 and #2 on the right:

..more updates are coming soon, including making cobs but i guess i´ll need to wait untill my maize-plants are ready to chop :biggrin: :tiphat:

some cob experiments

some cob experiments

as i have still no maize-season here, i´m always curious for alternative wrappers to cob some buds : )

1. bakery paper-bag cob


2.
some freshly plugged and fully riped virginia leafes kiss a hand full of good and proper peppery smelling malawi buds:

Great job, zip lock bag over the male was a good idea I copied that. I'm interested to see the results of cobbing :lurk:

thanks Dr. Fred, nice to have you : ) ..playing with different curing methods, especially those traditional ones is really exciting! this is also the first pure sativa landrace grow for me and when growing these old native sativas one starts to deal with those traditionally methods automatically, i guess..it´s a lot of fun :biggrin: meanwhile i have half of my budding-room full with 100% sativas/landraces and mostly sativa hybrids (malawi, durban, malana, guatemala, dr grinspoon, jack´s cleaner II, durban poison..)
i´ll keep you on track :tiphat:

#2 goes into the jar now.. i smoked a test bud and passed away from 4pm to 7pm hehe :biggrin:
i don´t wanna say to much at this point as i wanna give a detailed smoke report after a good cure!

this is from Malawi#2, about 30g before curing:

Nice job, I'm feeling a bit jealous I've still got a couple of weeks before I harvest any more and it goes so fast haha.

#3 day 89

#3 day 89

hi mates, was a while not able to go on with the report cause I had no cam to take any pics.. but I´m still sticking to the same 4 Malawis. at the moment I have two girls (#3 and #5) at day 89 from clone, took some close ups from #3 today which is a mango-carrot pheno. she´s looking better than the first time for sure, but I think I´m gonna take her to 100+ days..

#5 is gonna be ready to chop in a week, she gets always red stems later in flower but apart from that is looking really nice and was the strongest smoke next to #1 in the first round. next update harvest.

#1 and #2 went into 12/12 a few days ago, i gave them much more veg time as in the last round and even bigger pots (10L and 20L). update coming soon!

ps. dry shot of #2 about two weeks cured

Malawi #5 day 92

Malawi #5 day 92

thank you guys!

..gonna chop this girl tomorrow after 93 days from clone. had some difficulties with spidermites late in this run when she was already starting to fade out..some fan leaves were damaged (you can see some spots on the leave in the third picture) but they couldn´t spread over the whole plant, they have a good resistance to spidermites from what i can tell now...but nevertheless it´s looking pretty nice. she smells very oily and peppery with hints of tropical fruits:

thanks chili and aphrodisia : )
..yes, the malawis grow very branchy with good yields 12/12 from seed, just give them enough root space and you will never be disappointed : )
