Are those who bought from RSC getting the malawi gold or the malawi 2020 listed on kwikseeds? I'm interested in what the 2020 might put out in comparison to the gold.
RIP Afro Jim, his Malawi like his Swazi are the best no doubts. Probably the most trippy on earth.
Cheers Grayeyes!
Who has this line today? I have a few RSC Malawi seeds in the fridge, hope it is the same.

Yes, RSC "Malawi Gold" is an Afropips knockoff. They also has another Malawi that is not (the 2020).

Lake Malawi is where 'lake Malawi ciclids' come from. They are a popular freshwater tropical aquarium fish group. Lots of aquarists have 'Malawi tanks' with fish which are only found in Lake Malawi.
I’ve got to agree with rolandomata. I would love to grow weed where a few hits knocks me out. I’ve grown ACE Malawi a number of times and can vape it all night long. I just harvested my last Ace Malawi unless it knocks me down with a few hits. Would love to grow a tent full of 18 week weed. Where to get these beans...

Malawi Gold
Genetics: Malawi Gold, Heirloom Nkhotakota Ganja Domesticate (“Landrace”) Sourcing: Afropips, via collector community Purpose: Ganja (seedless or semi-seeded flowering tops) Latitude: 13° S Height:…

Sounds good^^ I notice no mention of trippy but have heard it is from others. These sativas are going to effect each person different in that regard. It is strong regardless. The ACE Golden Tiger is strong but the high is not in line with what I want. The ACE version of this is different and the Afropips at least sounds better on paper.
As far as 3 hit quitter, that comes down to tolerance and the size of the hits as well as brain differences.

After the latest harvest I have found I prefer 16 wks in flower as opposed to the 22 weeks I previously did. 22 weeks gives considerable THC but at the expense of the great terpenes in this strain. I don't see how you, other than complete bastardization, and have a fully flowered plant at 9-10 wks. That is not Malawi.
Still waiting on pics brother please lets see some pictures.
Ya 18-20 weeks are best Gold i think, at 16 it's Malawi Red/Black with heavier effects and understone compared to no ceiling high of Gold.

Probably the flowering time differences between Malawi Gold and Malawi Black/Red where Malawi Black/Red has a shorter flowering period?
Yes Zaprjaques' thx that's what i meant.
I think that Malawi has different pheno like all pure sativa, it depends on terroir and land situations, humidity, altitude, soil etc all transforms a same landrace to different kind of quality. I think Gold/Green are more from wet valleys or sea level and Black/Red from highlands with more dry, more UV and less atmospheric pressure.
So early Malawi at 14 weeks (Black) can be pure no problem but effects are more hard with heartbeat and stony compared to Gold.
There's also some dwarf plant in Malawi like for Swazi, probably heritage of altitude past acclimatization (?)
