Malawi, PCK and others beginner grow
- Thread starter Anjey
- Start date
I checked the light and the glass tube around bulb itself is about a foot away, bulb itself one foot three inch maybe? Doesn't seem all that close, I didn't move it but maybe regret not adding a little distance, I'll be away for a day or two. Probably is the light bleach situation as it's the same soil mix, but maybe the destroyer itself, good to know and I will experiment in future.
These pictures are about 3 days old now and they look bigger since.

I had one of my clones from the outdoor random seeds hermie. I believe it's because it got partially dislodged from its pot when I was moving it and was falling over, pretty stressful.
Now the unfortunate random pollination in my room. The Malawis mostly didn't get hit too bad, and we went around pulling out seeds we saw forming. Not a disaster by any means but of course I dislike it very much and worry about more of the clones herming.
I did pollinate the Malawis. I selected a medium sized branch from each and pollinated the whole with a brush and tagged the branch. I decided to pollinate with two males. One was the medium/tall earlyish to show sex and the other the latest male to show sex of medium height. Shooter, thanks for the breeding advice.
I found both of these males very impressive. They feel nearly sticky, with nice subtle aromas, their clones rooted some of the fastest and most vigorously, their flower clusters are very thick and dense. I'm going to keep their clones for a bit so I can pollinate some other genes with them.
The Malawi nugs are developing quickly. It has been approximately 5 weeks and I'm hoping/thinking they are going to produce beautifully. Malawi 1 is my favorite plant currently, the last to show sex, and of shorter bushier stature. It shot up in the last week or so. Beautiful thin leaves and many many bud sights.
It seems like maybe three of the Malawis are purpling? My temps should be fairly steadily 60-75f with the rare drop below 60. Is that what is causing the purpling? They do seem to smell rather fruity as well, one in particular. I have a hard time picking up distinctive scents from most.
The Zamaldelica, Orient Express and Destroyer are looking great. From now on indoors I'll only start plants under cfls, because the destroyer leaves are still looking yellowed, but they too are vigorous. They mostly all are, and I'm excited to see this next round developing.

We are at a bit less than 5 and a half weeks.
3 are pretty purple right now. My temps should very rarely get around 55 and stay pretty consistently 62-75f. Is the purple temp related? They are getting more pungent, and frostier.
This is Malawi 1, later to flower, very beautiful and vigorous plant, she right now excites me the most.
All of their tagged stems are shriveling up and looking like they will be well seeded.

Hi Anjey!Beautiful stuff you got going there!
Aren't the purple ones the PCKs?If so,the purple is genetic.I got a snow moon and a purple mexican(both PCK crosses) that started purpling.
There is also a purple Malawi pheno...
Your Malawi looks very healthy!Gonna yield good for sure...
Looks like you got the greenthumb

Ha!3 purple Malawis? There is a purple pheno as I've read,I think they have it in the breeder pack,too...But 3!
If the colour was caused by temps,I think there would be more purple on the leaves,too.That calyx on the second pic is too reddish to be caused by cold in my opinion.But I 'd like to be corrected if I got it all wrong...They're stunning anyway!

About breeding.
It will only be YOUR f1 and so on.Ace has done so much breeding with it's lines that we might be talking about F20? Only Dubi knows.
That's why they have such stable plants, uniform almost.There is not so much varietaty between plants.That's why you have best of the bests
to work on.
But breeding is nice.You can take the qualities you want and work with them.
It's only the scale that you should do (if you do it properly)
Take f1 seeds and sow 100 of them and start the elimination process
But we are all amateur and do it a bit smaller scale
Fascinating!
And good luck to your grow

Yes,the purple is beautiful and fast as it seems...The malawi 1 looks that will give a lot of buds!
Thanks very much...thanks for writing in Koondense have enjoyed your threads.
It's nice to see these rounds of white hairs. It'll look 80% orange one day then shoot out many new after a day. The slower Malawis are looking very orange now but I'm sure they'll shoot out more and do this for many rounds.
It's been about 8 weeks now total flowering for the Malawi. I've accidentally left the light on for 24hrs once for about 2 days in the first 2 weeks and once more recently for a day. So definitely could have slowed down/messed with initial flowering.
I put the PCK into flower, they were slower but are a decent size now to show what they have to offer I think.
For the youngsters the Orient Express is looking most vigorous followed by the Destroyer and lastly Zamaldelica. They are mostly all looking okay but having different forms of defeciences and clearly need a potting up. I think in the future for indoors I will start in the small 4 inch square pots and transplant into larger 3 gallon + earlier on to avoid this growth delay.
Hope all of your ganjas are doing well and thanks for all the posts and helpful information.
