Cut down the indica pheno at 83days.

Brown pistils 97%. tricomes were clear/milky/amber 10/70/20% aprox.

Gave me around 10-15g. Not much but enough. I smoke only on weekends or less. Sometimes more

Forgot to take pictures,sorry.

you made the best, they look good!

Malawi indica pheno gave me 12g.

Havent test it yet. Now curing.

Added 26w 5% uvb reptile lamp to grow box for last week,its on 2hours/day. Gave them mild nute,0.3ec 6days ago. Seem to like it. Buds much bigger now. It was dropping leaves very rapidly and sucking nutes out of them.

Tricomes are quite milky. Some new pistils still showing up. 1-1.5week i would quess. Tricomes lookd very nice,lots of small ones on the leaves. Havent seen that much ever with any other strain! Its going to be a killer smoke!

Bigger is now about 25g and smaller 16g wild quess!

Hope i get near 2oz total.

Harvest day! Day 97.

small sativa is skinny.not very pleased with this one. Very sensitive to nutes.small flowers.



Tall sativa. This was nice! Fatter buds and not so sensitive,gave me a desend yeild! Very nice!



Tall sativa harvest. Fatter buds, 25g?


Harvest from small sativa. 15g would quess. Small buds. Screen is 2,5cm or 1" to get perspective.



Both


All in all,this was hardest strain i have ever tried. Pleased with results. Had fortune and misfortune. Did over water them but it helped me to keep plants small. basically i had 4liter soil but plants only used 2liter. Learned a great deal with this grow. Now revegging tallsativa and do it again with better results.

Thanks everyone with your help and support!

Hi Mate good luck with the reveg it shouldn't be a problem these girls love to grow. LST or scrog her and she will perform for you I am sure.

Yeild.

Indica pheno: 12g
Small sativa: 13g
Tall sativa: 16g

It was bit lower than i expected but no worries. Tall sativa shows some signs of reveg.

I have my doubt if i harvested too early. Tricomes were all milky 5days before harvest and started to turn opaque(if thats correct word) that indicates to good time to harvest but today i noticed that plant was swollen a bit. Dont know english word for that plant part which was swollen. The thing where seed grows. That indicates that harvest was too early. Oh well its for personal use so weight doest mean so much as long as potency is there. Havent sampled it yet.

[rüdiger]

you mean the calyx swell

 

[PunkAssWeed]

Of course! Thats the word,just couldn get in my head.

Next round info. Ferts are organic. Chicken manure for N,guano for P and palm tree ash for K. Seaweed for micros. Havent done organics before so there is good chance to fuck things up I start with 1liter and final 3liter. I try to get good roots this time.

Chiken npk: 4-1-2
Guano: 1-10-1
Palm tree : 0-3-14

i update when i have something visible.

Hi PunkAssWeed,

There's no problem to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and dont repeat them again! I dont like to use vinegar to lower down the ph (and less in flowering), it can change the natural aromas of your plants and not in a good way.

Wish you find strong potency in your plants, hopefully you can re veg your favourite malawi for the next grow.

I learned important stuff!

What do you recommend for lowering ph? Citric acid?

I havent tested malawi yet,still curing. The fatter pheno is revegging. Better looking and easier to grow.

[rüdiger]

citric or phosphoric acid in flower, use citric for organics!

 

[PunkAssWeed]

Ok,thanks.

Never thought about vinegar leaving any taste.

Hi PunkAssWeed,

To lower down the PH i like to use PH Down from General hydroponics, it's composed of nitric acid and phosphoric acid. It works fast and in a stable way with small doses and it doesn't affect the taste. It's the only non organic product i use.

Hope it helps.

Hi everyone.

Here we are now. Malawi is revegged and i have new veg box.

Bit problems thou,new lamp is heating too much. Inserted 150w chm to 400w halogen. I dont know yet can the wires handle the heat,if not i need to find a way to insulate them.

And the beauty! Bit raped beauty but very lovely anyway, miss africa of malawi!!



Its now flowering(or in the dark until i fix the lamp problem.

[Waldgeist]

killer your back with her
looks like a good base this time!

 

[PunkAssWeed]

Thanks mate!

I might have solution for wire insulation. Hopefully it works. Some insulation tube + aluminium tape.

PAW

 

[PunkAssWeed]

Wire heating problem solved. wires are now outside the lamp case.

i dont know how my nighttemps are. maybe around 15c or 59f. dont have extra heater for veg box(which is used for flowering ) but malawi will survive. soon as i can flip bigger box to 12/12 malawi will move there.
