Nice buds and report, you did an awesome job on her!
As far as the yield goes I am betting it was the 5gal smart pot you had her in that set your limits. For getting over a pound of bud per plant outdoors/greenhouse they really need a few hundred gallons. Rootbound = low yield.

high Emeril Lagasse,
thank you for the smoke report!
It's so true how you describe the high... it's the most powerful weed i came across the last 20 years... and i live in holland! For some of my hard smoking friends it's too much hehe. This year i gave some cuttings from my Malawi to my friends for outdoor growing @ 51°lat north europa near Amsterdam and hey they finish proper here outdoors under very very bad and wet conditions without any bud mold or other diseases! Amazing genetics!
Our dutch hybrids are crap compared to this gear from ACE!
i've also grow'n Malawi from 2014 organic in 18gallon smart pot this year... Malawi is a huge yielder when you use bigger container! I got really impressive bud's with lot of resin and big trichomes as you can see in the pic... and if you have good soil you only need little really little feeding in the mid of bloom... thats all.
If you buy next time ACE gear than do it direct on the ACE webpage!
You get all time one or two seed extra in each pack you order and always some freebies to try... like Dr. King say... and if you have issues they are there to help you! Best support from all breeders i know... and i know many here!
happy growin'

A warm hello to everyone from the sunny side of the Alps!
this is my first post, I also haven't done much reading of this forum, but as I have seen so far I have a lot of catching up to do! Which is good
I am an ordinary small scale grower, just to fulfill my needs. I don't buy fertilisers...I just use the best forest soil I can find in the near vicinity, old wood, leaves...I prepare the soil before winter time for the next year. Yields are good, no problem getting 150g per early pearl so for me a dozen +- plants like that is enough.
landstrains are a fetish of mine not only in cannabis so when I found out about a.c.e seeds I was thrilled - particularly because of the sativas
sorry for the long intro - now to get to the point
wow MadMac - Bravo! ...how did you get it to be so mature so early?I live in Europe at 46lat, submediterrainean climate...I just purchased malawi from ace seeds and was going to grow it indoors but now you've got me thinking...
I would love to give it a go outdoors but I was sure that it wouldn't finish - how did you do it? I would be very grateful for any tips...

Hey skoviik,
I suggest you visit the ACE subforum for more detailed debating
I tried Malawi regular in 2013 at same latitude as you and it did not finish, was chopped in early december after some frosty days.
However it was a late planted seed plant and started preflowering at end of september, a late finishing pheno.
Maybe if you start them indoors and before the flip take some clones for the outdoor season, you'll have more chances to make them finish under the Alps.
Or search for a quick pheno like the one MadMac has and you're sure to finish it properly.
Or maybe try the Malawi cross with PCK, looks bomb for outdoor guerrilla.

This thread could use some freshening up.
Sorry about the quality of the pics.
I have 2 Ace Malawi regular females grown from seed at lights 11:30hrs on 12:30hrs off. These pics are day 85 and about 10 days after the first sign of calyx formation.
Two distinct phenos.
A taller (22 inch) Sativa type with productive lower branching and a spear shaped cola.
A shorter (17 inch) Indica type solid baseball bat, single cola with a blunt end.
Both plants are very healthy. Some Nitrogen deficiency is setting in, despite having given the plants a couple of light veg feeds a month or so into flowering. I had taken some clones too late (3 of 4 failed) so I intend to reboot the plants and I didn't want them dying before I could get some new growth happening.
There is a little bit of extra stretch on the main cola of pheno 1 as a result of these light veg feeds, but nothing too severe. Before sexing at around day 37 I'd fed lightly with CalMag and bloom nutrients. They've been grown in coco/perlite from the start.
I haven't grown Ace Malawi before. However, they look like they will go another 4 or 5 weeks.
I'll come back with a report and some more pics in a few weeks or when calyx formation really takes off.
Peace

It's lines like this that makes ICmag.com a great place to spend an hour or two of reading. I know this is the wrong forum and the wrong thread, but I'd appreciate hearing from other outdoor growers on how they combat caterpillars, especially the ones that live in buds that are in the early and middle stages of growth. The caterpillars around here are small, light green and though they don't seem to eat very much, but I almost always get mold inside the bud due to caterpillar shit and damage they caused. I haven't sprayed anything on the plants (I'm really hesitant to spray anything on flowering plants) and usually try to pick them out one by one, but they are hard to see and I cause lots of damage (bruising) trying to grab the little thin green bastards. I usually end up losing about 1/2 the yield on many of the subtropical plants I grow but much less on the faster finishing, modern hybrids as I think the fuelly, strong smell helps repels most of them. I will try and spray the plants in early flowering this year...please suggest any natural and safe methods you have used successfully that I could mix and prepare myself, I'm not interested in using harmful chemicals and as these plants are grown guerrilla style in various little plots in the bush, I can't use netting. I could grow just the fast finishing varieties, but depending on the type of weather we have each year, I find it best to grow a variety of thin and wide leaved strains. I also have big problems with scale and meally buds that I also hand pick off/scrape off/squash. Any advice welcome.

^^^^ This... BT is a naturally occurring bacteria that causes no harm and can be sprayed on gardens in flower
You can also use a light trap against moths, marketed as a bug zapper iirc, sitting in the garden at night waiting for customers for my big game hunting program you are constantly amazed by the sheer number of moths that are flying about and how you grow to love bats...
Moths and their caterpillars seem to like fruity tasty plants more than others, I spent more time manually chasing the fuckers through summer than I did watering. Malawi is fruitier than most, so got more attention than the Panama nearby
Stolen Malawis, recovered at 4am in a thunderstorm, eternal thanks to P

I am going to attempt some of these in N.Cal what type of soil composition does it like?
