Malawi 12/12 from seed

#3 - 100 days from clone

#3 - 100 days from clone

..most of the calyxes are nicely swollen and the tiny brown pistills on them look almost like they have completely disappeared but she´s still shooting new pistills and so the buds get bigger and bigger : ) the smell has also increased, the mango scent became more distinct in the last 10 days! i guess this girl is my best attempt growing malawi so far, so i´ll give her all the time she needs, probably 10-14 more days..so she would be up to 17 weeks under 12/12 hehe, anyways i wanna get some of that high without no sealing bud so quantity doesn´t really matter to me..; )

(sorry for the turned pictures..)

Nice girl, subrovka, very well behaved and nicely developed! I noticed you stripped her of almost all fan leaves, do you mind sharing when you did that? I have 3 plants about the same age (105 days, though only 6 weeks into 12/12) and I'm wondering how far I can go into defoliating in order to expose more bud sites to direct light, without hurting or stunning them. I did engage in about 3-4 defoliating sessions, removing quite a lot of middle leafs (by my standards), but they still have plenty that make it hard for light to hit buds directly.

Sweet grow my friend very envious of the mango smell its going to be awesome, gotta get me some of those sweet phenos.

@mjlifestyle I strip the leaves over the whole grow more or less, until they are a few weeks old. for example, today i removed a lot of fan leaves of a Malawi at day 30 of 12/12. I use to remove lots of the fan leaves (and also smaller leaves hiding buds from the light here and there), it´s much better for the depth penetration of light and airflow in my growing situation. The plants don´t care, they still have more than enough leaves and form bigger and denser buds on the lower branches.
I have a Durban flowering at week 14 and it´s just a long bud on a stem without any leaves, just the small leaves in the bud..the cola still gets bigger and bigger, the plant couldn´t be happier

@Tangwena thank you brother, yeah the bouquet is lovely. This is from clone but the last time I chopped this girl a bit to early, i guess..the smell wasn´t so distinct back then, so I´m curious how the nose translates into smoke later!
growing big sativas teaches you patience, that´s for sure..

 

[mjlifestyle]

Thanks for the answer, man! I guess my girls are in for a serious haircut then, they just don't know it yet. Cheers!

Beautiful grow Sub .. 19 week Malawi . That will be mind blowing.!!!!! Would love a pic of the Durban ..... I'm smoking some 14 week Zamaldelica . It's mind blowing enough . Very trippy .!!

 

[subrovka]

hey thanks holeshot! for the Durban pictures you can check the Durban thread in the CBG subforum, I post lots of pictures there
..gonna use this thread here to report of my Malawi x Durban and Durban x Malawi crosses later on, the first one is already budding, I don´t wanna say too much at this point but it´s much faster with the flowers so far..

Harvest P#3 - 106 days 12/12 from clone

Harvest P#3 - 106 days 12/12 from clone

thanks bwoyrude, yeah P#1 is also my favorite! ..currently I have a big girl of her at day 36 and this time I´m gonna give her at least 100 days (from clone) and a nice cure, it will become very scary : )
Today I chopped P#3 (mango-pheno) after 106 days (12/12 from clone) and she looks much better than my first attempts but see for yourself:

 

[bwoyrude]

sorry, but looks like she needs 1-2 weeks more for real maturing (imho)
but trichomes can get more poison in the good proper drying
anyway very useful exp. w/ malawi , thanks for sharing

..hm ok, maybe next time even longer. Trichs are about 90% cloudy 10% clear but still no amber, checked with a 60x magnifier.
but I´m not sure if so much amber is desirable since it indicates degradation of Cannabinoids..?

man came straight from frostiest bud thread, that girl is on point. Cant wait to start some malawi beans. Have u noticed this girl needs no nutes?

 

[subrovka]

..they won´t need much nutes, I used recycled soil and gave her only some organic fertilizer for the vegetative growth (plagron alga grow, approx. from week 8 to week 10, then pure water for the last 4-5 weeks.) I use to put some batguano in the recycled soil and that is easily enough P for the whole grow, there is no need for bloom fertilizer high in PK.

 

[Tangwena]

She looks super potent mate, if you leave the next one longer you can compare the highs. Should be devastating with a proper cure me thinks.

[subrovka]

hey tang, me thinks also cause this bitch smells like a undertaker..wuhu mango and pepper, really bad it´s nothing like a smooth smell, it´s a intense peppery mango scent, gonna elaborate this later on..

 

[Holeshot]

Sweet plant mate. Hope she smokes up nice.!

Day 118 harvest

Day 118 harvest

Finally took down my malawis at 118 days 12/12 from seed as I lost part of a main cola to mould and decided to cut them down. Very pleased with the results of the 12/12. One of the malawis has super dense and rock hard buds with a good weight to them, super genetics.
